As a guy whose favourite superhero film is Spiderman 2, TASM 2 is really a big disappointment. But if you went in with very few expectations, you might as well like it.

Rating: 7/10 (3 May 2014)

Good things first:
The musical grid beatdown between Spidey and Electro was certainly cool, so was every scene that featured Rhino, especially when Spidey juggles with the explosives (Sadly, only a mere 2 minutes). In the beginning when Spidey is swinging and doing his thing, we get this one camera angle which seems to be the POV of his balls. I wonder where they put the camera. Also, all the scenes where Spidey interacts with the NYC's residents, were awesome!
Now the bad things:
Too many sub-plot spoiled the movie. The sub-plots take a lot of time and don't really offer anything new. The main plot takes its toll because of that. Electro and Harry both turn into villains for apparently no real reason. Electro's digital VFX looked awkward in a film that's basically shot on film. Marc Webb, get back the Red Epic already! The movie switched genres often and that made it hard to follow. it didn't make it feel like a whole film but rather a compilation of scenes.
Hans Zimmer really got it all wrong in this one. Playing TDKR in the opening plane scene and then playing the General Zod dubstep for Electro. Look we respect you and all and also you scored the awesome track of Inception, but really you can't use the same thing in all your movies.
The cinematography was very contrasting. The swinging and aerial shots were awesome! But the action scenes had way too much flashing of lights and shaky cam, (which really is being overused nowadays).
Verdict : As a guy whose favourite superhero film is Spiderman 2, TASM 2 is really a big disappointment. But if you went in with very few expectations, you might as well like it.
