The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Rating: 6/10 (20 August 2014)

OK, so right off the bat I want to say that I enjoyed the film and thought it was really good when I saw it in theaters. And I've been a Spider-Man fan for almost 25 years. He was the first comic book I bought and I read his comics near religiously for many years.
I have enjoyed both of these films as movies, and have greatly enjoyed Garfield's performance as Spider-Man. However, I can't stand him as Peter, and I'm not a fan of Sally Fields as Aunt May either. Nor do I like Dane DeHaan as Harry.
But I love all the Spider-Man scenes. Every one of them. I love how they show him moving, I love the quips he does while fighting. Everything.
The Electro plot I think was done really well, I enjoyed how it went and felt Jamie Foxx did a good portrayal of him. It didn't feel too quick or hurried or drawn out. It pretty much felt just about right. So that's the good. Spider-Man and Electro... Good. Very good.
On to the bad... The Goblin portions felt crammed in, as did Rhino.
***Minor Spoiler***
Both Goblin and Rhino are so short it's almost like cameos... Goblin (as the villain) doesn't show up till after the climatic battle with Electro and the Rhino is only on screen for a brief bit at the end. I guess it's supposed to introduce them for future films, but it just didn't feel like it fit in.
And now the ugly... The Goblin's makeup... oh god what were they thinking? He looks like some sort of punk rock reject who got dipped in Toxic Waste. Worst portrayal of the Green Goblin, and I'm including Spider-Man 3.
p.s. ***Major Spoiler***
I did enjoy the inclusion of Gwen's death and how they did it so close to the comics. While it was sad, it was sort of fulfilling in a strange sort of way.
