The Amazing Spiderman 2 (4/5)


Amazing Spiderman 2, true to its name, was AMAZING. The 3D effect was exploited through out the movie unlike most other movies which uses it only at the beginning and near end sequences. The action sequences were "edge of the seat" thrilling and Emma Stone was a WOW factor of the film.

The film manages to render the story very much faithfully from the comic. The way every villain is connected to Oscorp, the psychotic nature of the green goblin, Even Andrew Garfield looks like he's picked from the comics.

Unlike those movies based on S.H.I.E.L.D, this film manages to give enough space in the film for charecterization, the chemistry between Peter and Gwen was impeccable, and felt real. This comes rarely in today's superhero movies (Not even in blockbusters like Man Of Steel), and must be appreciated.

The CG effects were awesome, especially with Electro and 3D combined. I just can't emphasise enough on how AWESOME the 3D was. The casting was good, but it does bother me that they made Jamie Foxx look like a joke. I mean you can't just show Jamie Foxx to be socially incapable and expect us to believe that. I mean he's freaking DJANGO. But that's just my opinion. And I didn't mean he didnt act well. He acted believably

One major flaw in the film are the lack of motives for the villain. Why does Electro want to take revenge on Spiderman, what did he do? If you're going to turn a thief into a supervillain, he doesn't really need a motive. But when you're going to turn a good guy into a monster, you must have a justifiable motive (or atleast tell us he's bipolar, that'll ACTUALLY explain everything). It took 3 movies to turn Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader, just saying!

On the whole, the movie was packed with action, drama and awesomeness! This film series would likely extend to more than 4 movies, cuz they have so much stuff. They even brought Felicia Hardy. which means the black cat would appear on screen soon enough. I have good expectations for the sequel. Another blockbuster to add to the Marvel merchandise! A Must-Watch for superhero fanatics! Watch ONLY in 3D!!
