i love this Spider-Man!

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2014)

casting really is half the battle in movies. the cast was amazing! Jamie Foxx as Electro was comical and earnest making this villain my favorite so far (plus, Electro's animation was beautiful, and his heavy metal inner monologue theme was brilliant). Sally Field showed up in this installment! i saw this with my mom, and SF brought us both to tears. Dane DaHaan is the creepiest most sympathetic Harry Osborn to imagine. i could buy this Spidey and this Goblin as friends who are two sides of the same coin.
i seriously disliked the previous Spider-Man movies (even though set in a different time) because i never bought Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man or any of the rest of the cast for that matter. Andrew Garfield, however, has done an amazing job with my beloved Spidey. He's equal parts brain, sport, and heart - a mixture missing from the previous one.
the story is the other half of the battle. the writing in these two stories have been light years better than the previous versions, making abandonment, inadequacy, and bullying just as important to feature as science and love.
so i must say i really love this Spider-Man. keep up the good work.
