Spidey's losing battle against Super Annoying & Mega Unpleasant

Rating: 3/10 (11 May 2014)

The second part isn't better than the first one. It has a few nice moments, but most of the time it makes you wonder - again - if there is a tough competition in Hollywood to produce the most illogical and insultingly stupid blockbuster ever.
Just a few things that really annoyed me:
Peter was 4 when his parents disappeared. His father had developed the genetically enhanced spider that sat in the lab for over 10 years, until Peter accidentally stepped into the room and was bitten.
When the father tries to escape from the powers that want to misuse his invention, leaving little Peter with Aunt May, he records a final video message. He explains that he used his own DNA and that the spiders therefore work their intended magic only with himself as the key. No, he says: "with my bloodline", thus throwing young Peter to the wolves. If one of the baddies would have gotten wind of this, he would have made Peter his lab rat.
It is implied that any other one, bitten by the spider would have died a horrible death. Fortunately they only bite Peter Parkers.
When Harry Osborn learns that he has inherited the same disease his father is dying of he acts like there's no tomorrow. But he's got more than 30 years, an eternity - just compare a Commodore 64 from 1984 to a normal smart phone.
Harry and Peter are supposed to be best friends. Here they are just childhood buddies, who haven't seen each other for 8 years. The news announce that Harry inherited the Osborn fortune - and Peter pops up at his door. "I know exactly what you are going through right now. You were so there for me when my parents ... That's why I'm here for you." Kindergarten friends are forever. Is the author of this super awkward dialogue from outer space?
Peter and Gwen are supposed to be deeply in love. But during the whole movie they are on the brink of a break up. There's not the tiniest bit of chemistry between them. Gwen is pushy and annoying. When Spidey fights the deadly Electro, she gets herself into the front-line, because she thinks she has to tell Peter some very basic facts about electricity. Peter is a science whiz himself, didn't the authors know that?
Jamie Foxx plays a half-wit that no company in the world would let get close to their high-end electric devices. An annoying stereotype from the fifties, when Jerry Lewis was considered to be funny.
Gwen (Emma Stone) looks terribly pedestrian, Harry (Dane DeHaan) like a young madman, and the "teenaged" Andrew Garfield (born 1983) is dull & unsympathetic. Kudos to the casting department and the director.
The Rhino scene with a little boy in a Spider-Man costume throwing himself into the line of fire is super annoying in oh so many ways. It's like showing a boy getting rescued by Superman after jumping off a high building, because he thought his Superman costume would turn him into the man himself. Criminally insane. Rhino's suit/tank looks quite impressive, but when the action starts the movie ends, leaving the audience with an unpleasant sense of frustration.
