follow up very decent despite flaws

Rating: 8/10 (6 May 2014)

When watching the amazing spiderman, it felt as though it was like watching what would have been the fourth spiderman raimi film except it was a reboot. However the sequel manages to make the sequel it's own despite borrowing certain concepts from the original spiderman 2 aka Harry Osborn. I do wish that chris cooper would have been given more on screen time since he did a decent job playing the role differently than willem Defoe did back in 2002. Dane dehaans transformation into the goblin was rather creepy, even though I liked Jamie Foxx as electro but wish there would have been a stronger motivation for his actions than thinking spiderman betrayed. I was also quite sad when Gwen Stacy suffered a terrible fate despite the chemistry between Emma stone and Andrew Garfield. There was also a lot of product placement and a cliffhanger setting up the events of the third film.
