I rate this movie 8.5/10

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2014)

I wanted to see this movie more than any other for 2014. I got my hopes up and was very excited and then the day came to see it with my girlfriend and I LOVED IT! For me, it had great humor, great acting (especially Andrew Garfield) and a great story. Many disagree though but to be honest I think it mostly gets bad reviews and ratings because it's not a depressing movie that is 100% realistic with a lot of swearing like most of the other TV shows and movies that get the highest ratings. Not much of a chance is given for these fantasy films anymore but they have always been my favorite movies and if I ever do get to make movies when I'm older, you can bet they will be funny, imaginative, action packed and completely awesome for all ages! The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for me is one of those movies.
Now, of course I don't think that a movie can be 100% perfect. There are some things I don't like about this film such as how different it was put together compared to the first movie. I personally don't like a sequel with so many changes. It feels like we have to adjust to a new environment too much so we can't continue the story we started. I am surprised it was this different even though it had the same director but the music composer was different, the credits were edited differently, the costume was better but still different. The two new Star Trek movies are examples of two movies that are set up the same way and can tell the story we came to see and that's one of the reason I love them both. The two Johnny English films are examples of two movies that are set up so differently as if the sequel just forgot the first movie. I personally can't continue following a story so well when it's sequel is set up so differently compared to the first.
I also didn't care much for the way some parts of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 were set up. I believe some parts of the movie could have been in different places but it wasn't much of a problem for me.
Overall, this movie made me smile, laugh and cry. It is the exact kind of movie I can watch again and again and enjoy and I walked out of the cinema on the 17th of April 2014 and smiling.
