For kids

Rating: 3/10 (7 May 2014)

to sum up most simply the fails of the movie "it was made for kids" Not every superhero movie needs a Nolan tone, but that mainly means the movie dose not need to be dark and dramatic. But it dose need realistic characters, dialog, and a well phased story.
The first Amazing Spider-man was a weak okay, but I guess it had a free get out of jail card, since as long as it did not had a emo Peter Parker making a dance number on the street fans probably gived it a thumbs up. But now that luxury expired, and instead of improving on the first movie, it declined. Mainly two reasons which is close to each other.
1) the characters, they way they react, talk, and kinda the hole plot is written for kids. the only audience how enjoys the fast blabbering, unrealistic conversation style are kids and teenagers. And the hole logic of things seams to work in similar fashion. Like the laundry scene with Aunt May. Where she more like bullies peter, instead talking with him. its a kid view point adults are this rules who makes no sense. And other stupid things like now the green goblin is not just a armor, its a genetic disease -_-. But we have a father whos guessing in his 40-50ths dieing from it, and his soon hows between 18-20ish just learning that he has a ridicules genetic illness which works way faster in his body than in his dad.. logic? Or explanation of why?
2) Lazy, lazy, lazy uncreative and did i mentioned lazy writing? The hole plot is put together from predictable, uninspired clichés. If your a kid or teen and have not seen to many movies, the plot might surprise you, or get you involved. If your unfortunate enough to have seen many movies the desire to butthead the chair in front of you will build up rapidly. Like when its Gwen Stacey who gives the "heartwarming" "original" "never been heard" graduation speech. Which mainly just gived a heads up "Oh so you going to kill her." since what would be more cheese to have this character speak about life and future and clichés than kill her off. Than shortly after the break up -_- the forced drama of "will they get back together tease" is really old and terribly boring. And the fact you kill off the love interest soon after they get back together dose not spice it up. And thats like 10-20 minutes to the movie.
with all this said. The movie did managed to make some parts right. For example most of the time spider-man is portrayed very good, his confident, goofy, blubbery, dynamic. I don't mind seeing things like when he protected the kid, and inspired him by complimenting on the thing he made. Though they later scene with the kid should have been cut, or at least have rhino shoot Spider-man in the face when he just stands there for like 2 minutes. dumb stuff like this should not happen. Also even though Spider-man was good, Peter Parker was horrible character. I don't remember if he was this much of a "Shia LaBeouf" in the first one, but he sure was in this one. It did not worked in transformers and it sucks just as much in spider-man too.
Actually cutting out Mary Jane was a good idea. Cause the last thing we need it a clichéd romantic triangle on top of a boooooring clichéd on/off romance. And personally would welcome the fact if there would be no Mary Jane or other romance in the 3th movie. Im not really sure why Hollywood so clinged up on forcing romance in superhero movies it never really works. If you add romantic interest to rise the drama since your working with one slightly altered cliché it just adds boredom. Only way you can misfire more if your adding the romantic interest to apply to female audience. And the reasons: In most superhero movie the romantic interest is dimly drawn, eye candy, mostly kept around to cause conflict(for example breaking up for no real good reason or getting caught by the villain), and in the end be the reward for the superhero. Pretty sure most female audience appreciate that a lot.
So if you really want to include Mary Jane in the 3th movie try something different. Try a Batman-Alfred relation. Let Mary Jane be the stable point of Spiderman life, the only person knowing who he really is, there for the one he can turn for advice, or be the not involved party who can give a fresh look to the situation. And also can cover for him like J.J: Parker where the hell where you! MJ: He was with me...bla bla. And no way for a long time make the situation where Spiderman most save her from the villain.
So to sum it up. If your a kid or teenager probably you will love this movie and have a good time watching it. If your above avoid it, or if you must see it sneak in some alcohol and make a drinking game like: "drink when a cliché happens" "drink when a character or plot point dose not make sense" "drink cause its just 20 minutes in the movie and your already bored and ripped out half of your hair" etc
