Review of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) by Robertoiglesias — 01 Sep 2019
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is somewhat of a mixed bag for me. I like this film and enjoy watching it, but there are a few problems.
Andrew and Emma return and there still amazing. The action scenes are at their best with this film. Dane Dehaan's performance was also pretty good imo.
The 3 villains are a problem though. Paul Giamatti's Rhino was pointless and annoying. Jamie Foxx's Electro was cartoonish as a normal person. He then has a strong hatred against people around him but a weak hatred for Spider-Man. Then he is missing for like 40 minutes then comes back and dies (only 2 fight scenes with Electro, there should have been 3 or 4). Dane Dehaan's Green Goblin should've transformed at the halfway point because his backstory was interesting to me, and shouldn't have just been at the end.
The story gets a bit complicated with Peter's parents backstory going too far unlike the first film. Still I wish TASM 3 was made. I don't hate this film, just didn't like it as much as others.
