This wasn't really impressive...

Rating: 4/10 (17 July 2014)

I can't really claim to be fan of the superhero genre, and this who reboot thing with "Spiderman" didn't sit well with from from the previous movie, and it was with some reluctance that I sat down to watch "The Amazing Spider-Man 2".
This is first and foremost an effects movie, as the CGI overshadows the rest of the movie, especially with its lukewarm storyline.
The villains in the movie were almost non-existing, and what little on-screen time they had, they were far from being utilized to the fullest of their potential. And that made for a somewhat below average experience, because these villains could have added so much more to the movie.
I didn't get that whole fake teeth thing that was going on with the Max Dillon character, especially when you could see Jamie Foxx's real teeth through the fake teeth in the upper mouth. It was just horrible to witness.
And one thing that also made this movie less than mediocre for me was the usage of comedy throughout the movie. It was just so misplaced and it didn't work out at all with the rest of the movie.
Truth be told, then Tobey Maguire actually pulled off the spider-man character better than this new guy in these two movies, Andrew Garfield.
Well, I have seen it now, and thus can scratch it off the "not watched yet" list. And I can honestly say that I will not be making a return trip to this particular movie.
