This was really disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (2 August 2014)

Despite a fairly strong last 30 minutes and a moving scene or two from Sally Field and Andrew Garfield, The Amazing Spider Man 2 is disappointing. The script is poorly written, some characters are agonizingly cliché and it's just way too cheesy. Throw in the overly cartoonish special effects and the fact that the talents of Paul Giamatti and Jamie Foxx *are completely wasted* with poorly constructed characters, this is just not worth watching. The bar for great comic book films has been raised so high recently with movies like the Nolan Batman trilogy, the X-Men reboots and even this year's Captain American: The Winter Soldier. Efforts like this are just not going to cut it anymore and actually set this trilogy back. I say avoid this one.
Was my review not horrible? Great! Let's keep in touch ;)
