The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Rating 6 out of 10
I may not be the best to review this since I didn't really care for the first one of these Spider-Man reboot movies. One thing I don't care for is director Marc Webb feeling the need to re-tell the whole long story of how Peter Parker has these crazy powers. After three earlier movies can't he assume we kinda know the tale? With Spidey 2 we get much more of that along with long setups for each of the bad guys too. When I go see a superhero movie I want to see the good guy battling it out with the bad guys.
The movie starts with our web slinging hero (Andrew Garfield) saving the day when a group of bad guys steal an armored car transporting some sort of nuclear waste through downtown New York City (I'm sure that is a normal route). As he takes care of business he realizes he is late for his own college graduation and once again weighs the problems of keeping the world safe and his relationship with his girlfriend Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone).
Most of the next ninety plus minutes is dedicated to us seeing how much Peter loves Stacy and introducing in great detail our two bad guys, Electro (Jamie Foxx) and Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) A little more than two hours in to the movie we get our big show down.
This is not a bad movie. Just a mostly boring one for an action movie. I think I'll skip Spider-Man 3.
