Review of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) by Abdulrahman H — 29 Jul 2016
Okay so this 2nd installment is definitely better than the 1st one. They fixed Spidey's costume, so two thumbs up for that!
The action scenes have slightly improved and were fun to watch. The new villain, "Electro" is far better than the previous villain and pretty much carried and praised the movie. But unfortunately...The movie had no focus and the plot was confusing and did not know where it was going. Everything was good until Green Goblin showed up, a huge disappointment. Not enough screen-time for the villain and he was stupid as well. Not only Goblin with the little screen-time, but also Rhino. WTF? was he really necessary to be there in the ending? or to be advertised in posters showing that Spidey will fight lots of villains?
Some great moments here and there, but for every great scene there has to be a completely bad moment.
Overall score: 6/10 (Okay).
As a fan of superhero movies, I'd probably rate this a 7.8/10.
But from a filmmaking & casual movie go-er's perspective (Meaning realistic) I'll stick with a 6/10, better than the 1st at least and a decent action movie, too.
