Slightly better than the first..Definitely a must watch though!

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2014)

This fun, emotional, tragic, and iconic tale about Spider-Man/Peter Parker is without a doubt a must watch! But, this doesn't mean its the "perfect" spider-man film. The film revolves mostly around Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker's relationship through out, eventually leading to Gwen Stacy's tragic fate. This is what i've been waiting for since the announcement of Gwen Stacy in the "Amazing Spider-Man" franchise. Even though this story was adapted brilliantly, the plot itself i found to be kind of slow. Not as much slow, as actually clogged up. There was the story of Harry Osborn and how he was trying to live with a disease that runs in his genes, he needed Spider-Man's blood to survive, but Spider-Man refused (leading to the "final battle") Then we had the story of Max Dillon, an older man who is overly obsessed with Spider-Man after being saved once. When he turns into Electro, he feels betrayed by Spider- Man and goes crazy, trying to defeat Spider-Man. Even though this film had 3 villains, it doesn't mean it was anywhere near as bad as Spider-Man 3. But, the over clogged plot took away from some scenes, especially whenever you're getting into the Harry or Max scenes, this is where a random Peter and Gwen scene would come in. Moving on from the negatives, there were also many positives! Like i said earlier, the story was BRILLIANT! The action, the visuals, and the score beat the first film by miles! Hans Zimmer's new theme was magnificent, and i didn't think he would have been able to top Horner's theme. Overall, though "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" had a clogged up plot,the film had amazing acting, spectacular visuals, and an ultimate soundtrack! In conclusion, i would give "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" a 7/10.
