The Amazing Spider-Man 2

"Let's Go Catch A Spider."

 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Review.

I really enjoyed this film, so good I'd rank it as the best Spider-Flick I've seen.

All the returning characters wre on top form. Especially the chemistry between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. I really bought into their relationship and really enjoyed seeing them together.

New characters introduced left a great impression on me. Electro was really cool. Loved the effects of his electrical state, and that voice! Paul Giamatti was awesome, as brief his appearance was. Over the top in a fun way and can't wait to se more of him in sequels. Harry Osborn is very different to the Sam Raimi version and the changes helped make a great character. 

I saw it in 3D and was pretty good. Visual effects all around were impressive, highly superior to the 1st film and the Raimi trilogy.

All the action scenes were well edited and looked awesome. The realistic tone carries over in this film with nothing being ridiculous. Yes, one of the main villains is made of electricity but the character and situations he's in are done to look like this is what it would be like if it actually happened.

I do think some parts of the film were rushed and needed more time to develop, like Harry Osborn. I liked him but not enough development was made on his character, which quickly rushed to make him the Green Goblin. I liked it but was rushed.

SPOILER ALERT!!

The saddest comic book movie moment I saw was Gwen Stacy's death. I knew it was coming but my heart was pounding at the incredibly intense sequence of Spider-Man trying to save Stacy. I was shocked at the way she died and was sad she had to die. I really liked Emma Stone's portrayal of Gwen Stacy and evidently, the way it affected me displays how powerful Stone's performance and her death scene is. Honestly, it's probably my favourite scene because of how emotionally powerful it is.

In conclusion, Marc Webb's new Spider-Man films are really becoming it's own great franchise. Many ideas were introduced and great prospects for the future films. Great performances, exhilirating action and wonderful visuals slightly enhanced by the 3D make this a great watch, although more story development would have been welcomed.
