Is The Amazing Spider-Man 2 awesome? No. Is it good? Yes.

Rating: 6/10 (26 April 2014)

I was one of those people who liked The Amazing Spider-Man very much! I was really looking forward to this movie. In fact, it was my most anticipated movie of 2014. (http://instagram.com/p/kIfnuVpsB7/) When, I heard that Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci were hired to write this film, the excitement level went up. After all, they were the writers of Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness! And, I had faith in Marc Webb. I wanted this movie to be AWESOME, so bad! Unfortunately, it wasn't. :( Makes me sad and ANGRY! The plot of the movie was not VERY interesting. I liked the chemistry between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. Their love story was one of the main focuses of this movie, but sadly the only one that was handled properly. I was kinda looking forward to both main villains of the movie but none of them satisfied me. I don't think Electro's motivation was so strong and although Goblin had a real reason to fight, he was given very less screen time. The action sequences were good, with some very good visuals. Also, the whole untold story was nothing ground-breaking. No real tensed situations, except ONE. However, the way they ended it was good. I can really see this universe going towards that Sinister Six story line. This movie felt so different than the previous one, and I think its mainly because of the writing. The writing was not good. I mean, there were so many cheesy moments. The humor, at times, it worked, at times, it didn't. Overall, the movie reminded me that these two guys were also the ones who wrote the fist 2 Transformers movies. The performances of every single actor in this movie were amazing. Andrew Garfield, that guy was born to play Spider-Man. The score of the movie was good but nothing compared to Batman or Superman scores that Hans Zimmer previously did. Now, the reason why I decided to give the spoiler warning in this review is because I wanted to mention a particular scene. GWEN STACY's DEATH! That scene was handled so awesomely, I mean it shocked me, made me sad. Although, that web looking like a hand was a cheesy thing but still, boy, did they do that scene so amazingly! Overall, I'd say that it was a disappointment for me as I expected it to be very good. It is a good popcorn flick but will be disappointing for those who have high hopes for it. I gave this movie a 7/10.
