Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Too many sub-plots......... Performances were great Effects were awesome Fighting sequences were great Plot was not good Electro was worse

Quite possibly one of the worst movies ever released, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a chaotic and nonsensical action film that will disappoint even the most ardent of Spider-Man fans. This is a movie created for the sole purpose of making money and shoehorning in every single possible thread for a spin-off movie. It's easy to see why Marvel got the permission to use Spidey in their universe, because he certainly doesn't belong in this one.

Andrew Garfield put on the Spider-Man suit once again in the second movie of sequel. Emma Stone also appeared in this one with less interesting parts. She came back as his girlfriend at the beginning for braking up in the first minutes of the film and dying at the end. Who do that? There's a non written rule that prohibits to kill a beautiful women in a movie and even more when it's a important character. I was frustrated when I saw it. Once again it's a too important death. Some franchises are not killing enough characters but Sony are making too dark movie.

Where do we start: The villains in this movie are HORRIBLY underused. Electro gets defeated by Spider-Man in THEIR FIRST FIGHT and the focus is taken off of him until the movie's climax and this was supposed to be the main villain (or atleast for most of the movie until it was time for Harry to become the Goblin), he got an origin story and everything. Say what you want about Spider-Man 3 (and trust me there's a lot to be said about that movie) but atleast when they took the focus off of a villain they had another Spider-Man could fight. This movie had no one else to focus on after Electro was taken out, Harry was still being developed and Rhino didn't appear until the very end of the movie leaving the entire middle part revolving around a storyline that no one didn't care about to begin with. They tried to copy Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight formula with Harvey Dent with Harry's character in this movie by making him a villain towards the end of the movie but they completely FAILED to understand how Nolan made it work. Besides being looked at as a Joker movie, The Dark Knight can also be looked at as the rise and fall of Harvey Dent as well. Nolan build Harvey up as the White Knight of Gotham and towards the mid-section of the movie, Harvey takes a turn into the Dark side, becoming Two Face and all. This movie probably cut out a huge chunk of Harry's story which left his entire character underdeveloped, they cut out all of his Goblin scenes leading up to the climax of the movie. His fight scene with Spider-Man lasted under a minute. I could go on with how they screwed up Harry's character. The tone was all over the place. One of the few things I loved about TASM1 was how different the tone was compared to the Raimi movies. That completely got thrown away in this movie and they made this movie even more goofier than the Raimi movies. The action scenes are underwhelming. People go on and on about how the action scenes are good but I have no idea why. The beginning action scene with Rhino before he became Rhino was stupid. The Times Square fight with Electro ended when it was starting to get good, the final fight with Electro was decent but the whole save the planes from crashing against each other ruined it and you basically saw the entire Clock Tower scene with Goblin and Gwen's death in the trailers. The advertising was horrible. Who ever thought it was a good idea to show Rhino and Green Goblin in the advertising deserves to be fired. Electro should've been marketed as the main villain, Rhino should've been taken out of the movie completely, and Goblin should've been kept a secret. They showed the entire movie in the trailers and after looking at the film, now we know why. The movie was very hard to market because of how all over the place it was. This movie should've just been about Peter/Gwen's relationship after Captain Stacy's death, Electro, and The Osborns. The movie should've ended after Gwen's death. Instead of cutting out all of the important stuff regarding the villains and characters. They should've removed all of this universe building that was tacked on at the end of the movie. This movie had the potential to be great had they gotten another director, Sony wasn't so hands on, and they had gotten better screenplay writers.
