A Great Action-Filled Comic Book Film!!!

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2014)

To me, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was quite better than the original. It had great action, fantastic visuals and special effects, decent humor and good character development. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy felt like a soap opera, whereas this has the right amount of drama that it feels even with the storyline. Not long after fighting The Lizard, it's time for Peter Parker and his fellow classmates to graduate. Peter still feels guilty about the death of Gwen's father.
Meanwhile, a nerdy maintenance man who works at OsCorp named Max Dillon falls into a tank of genetically modified electric eels and becomes able to control anything that runs on electricity. (Jamie Foxx made an 'electrifying' villain. He starts out really dorky and becomes awesomely tough by the end of the film) Max idolizes Spider-Man, but when Max is labeled as a villain due to his appearance, the people of New York hate him and want Spider-Man to destroy him. Spider-Man must not only deal with Electro and a new Green Goblin, but must face the idea that he may never see Gwen again as she wants to go to school in England. This is the first summer blockbuster of 2014 in my opinion. I highly recommend THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2!!!
