Expository dialogue: the movie (SPOILERS)

Rating: 5/10 (5 May 2014)

There's a lot I can say about this movie but I am limited to 1,000 words so I will be brief. This movie isn't nearly as bad as others say. There are some enjoyable parts and good performances. Spoilers ahead.
Pros: ~Great swing sequences, fun action
~Peter's humor as Spider-Man is fun and close to the source material
~Gwen and Peter shared good chemistry together
~Chris Cooper has an intense performance as Norman Osborne and Dane DeHaan played a very sympathetic and desperate character
Cons:
~There is so much expository dialogue in this movie it's unbelievable Even the PA system in Oscorp explains everything to the employees who are experts in these things. All the characters explain everything in great detail throughout the movie...
~Jamie Foxx hams it up as a caricature of silly stereotypical nerds and growling super villains
~Product placement is so bad here that it actually rewrites history - Sony Vaios and in-plane wi-fi existed in 1994-2000? Yeah, OK.
~Spider-Man has countless volts of electricity pumped into his body, enough to kill hundreds of elephants, yet he shows almost no signs of damage
~Spider-Man entertains the idea of moving to London.... he really does...
~The executives must have wanted to end the movie on a happy ending so Peter gets over the grief of Gwen's death and becomes spider-man again. Basically when Aunt May tells him to man up, by the way. This ruins the interesting aspect of how Spider-Man copes with failure to protect the one's he loves. He responded to Ben's death with anger and vengeance but we've never seen him really overcome grief. This could have been the Empire Strikes Back of this trilogy but that's out the window now.
