Storyline
We've always known that Spider-Man's most important conflict has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that his greatest battle is about to begin. It's great to be Spider-Man. For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen. But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro, Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn, returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp.Movie Reviews
Finally, a great Spidey movie that's not Spider-Man 2!
As a fan of Marvel,
Spider-Man is one of their best in my opinion. The comics are great, the
film adaptations, however, I'm not that fond of. Spider-Man was just
OK, Spider-Man 2 was flawless, Spider-Man 3 was really bad, and The
Amazing Spider-Man was good, but not memorable. I walked in the theater
with semi-high expectations, because I read some reviews and was
skeptical about it. However, it was actually fantastic, and is
definitely going in the best Marvel movies ever made. I was surprised by
the performances of Dane DeHaan(Green Goblin), and Andrew
Garfield(Spider-Man), both fitting their roles very well.The special
effects are spectacular and imaginative, particularly the web-slinging
scenes and Electro's skin. I have an issue with Paul Giamatti's
performance as Aleskei Systevech/Rhino and the Sony marketing, but TAS2
is still very awesome and underrated. Even my mom enjoyed it, who
doesn't like Spider-Man! Surprisingly, there was applause at the end, so
the audience must have liked it.
