Worse than Spiderman 3

Rating: 2/10 (22 August 2014)

I really liked the first film in the reboot and was expecting a worthy sequel. I couldn't be more wrong. This train wreck of a film is the worst Spiderman movie, even worse than Spiderman 3.
Garfield does a decent job but Spiderman in this movie is just hanging out'. No struggles with the burden of being a superhero. No, he misses his dad but other than that being Spiderman just seems like any other job. No worries, except when it comes to doing laundry.
You never really care for anyone in this film, the romance is mostly just irritating and the movie just feels rushed. None of the relationships in this movie fells even remotely authentic.
The villains doesn't convince at all. Max becomes Electro, the big bad super villain, because he had an accident involving electricity and the fact that Spiderman forgot his name. Harry becomes Goblin because Spiderman won't give him his blood, something that might save Harry from dying when he is in his 50s. Two random acts transforms these "ordinary" characters to evil villains. Rhino is just laughable and embarrassing. Every villain is a missed opportunity. Electro is visually pleasing but that is all.
Something that hurts me more than this movie is the fact that someone got paid to write this. It's just a really bad script. The actors never ha a chance. And the directing... As I wrote before I think it seems rushed and doesn't really knows what it wants.
The only good thing is that it is visually really nice. That is until the big stand of between Spidey and Eletro. Then, it seems, they ran out of money. The CGI looks like a cut scene from a video game.
In summary: Rushed directing, bad acting (not the actors fault), cheesy and dumb dialog and a script that falls short on so many levels. The plot, if you can call it a plot, is just a bunch of random events thrown together with the hopes that it might work.
Sadly, it doesn't...
