The Amazing Spider Man 2 Review

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Well welcome back everybody today I review The Amazing Spider Man 2! So I realized that I haven't reviewed the first Amazing Spider-Man but I promise a review is on the way. So the first Amazing Spider-Man was a decent reboot, I didn't think it was as good as the MSpider-Man trilogy but a decent reboot. So this time around Peter is dealing with lots of villains including The Rhino, Electro, and The Goblin. Peter also struggles with his non Spider-Man life, finding out about his parents, Aunt May, and his on and off relationship with Gwen.

Ok so lets start with the positives in this movie. First of all the chemistry between the actors is just AMAZING. Peter and Gwen just are perfect and their chemistry is amazing! I think that is due in part to the fact that Garfield and Stone are dating in real life but its still shows well on the screen. Also the chemistry between Henry and Peter is also good, that is the little that we see of it. All the actors just did a phenomenal job in this movie, just perfect. I really think that Garfield owns the Spider-Man role and does just a great job with that. The effects in this movie are just OUTSTANDING! You see electro and you can like see through him and its just awesome! The  action and the effects were better than the first and it just really shows.

So now we get to the negatives and prepare there are a lot. Now lets start with the villains. I will admit I was worried about all these villains and I thought it would follow the path of Spider Man 3 and guess what it kind of did. All the actors did great in their roles well except for The Rhino who had this horrible Russian accent that I just could not understand! Rhino was also in the movie for maybe about 5 minutes and it was just a set up for The Sinister Six! So this character was just unneeded and annoying. We also have goblin and again a great actor and a great performance but from the time he put on the suit to the time that the big battle happened between him and Spider-Man it was like ten minutes that you see the goblin! It just all felt like a set up for The Sinister Six! Electro was the main villain and again he wasn't used much he's in two major fight scenes, one that was great in Times Square and the other that wasn't so great that lasted like 5 minutes before he was just taken out just like that. Also Electros character before he's Electro is just annoying and cheesy and stupid. The movie is also extremely choppy! The movie just felt like a bunch of scenes thrown together and it is just hard to watch at times. The movie wanted to be so many different things and had to many story lines it wanted to play in there was the whole Gwen Peter thing, there's college struggles, there's Aunt May, there's Henry, just all to much for this movie. This movie also was supposed to be a superhero movie but I felt that they made it more into a romance! The movie is almost two and a half hours long and I felt half of it went to Peter and Gwen's on and off relationship! Now these scenes were probably the best in the movie to be honest but I want to see a superhero movie not a chick flick! Now this is something that I never talk about but I have to talk about it here... the score in the movie is just AWFUL! They put in songs that sound like a character is like talking in his head or taking out loud but they aren't its the background music and its just weird and wrong! There are parts that do it well and its sad to say that Hans Zimmer did this score!

So all in all the movie is fun but still not a great movie! As for a ratting I'm going to give this movie a 5/10.
