The Amazing Spider Man 2 (2014)


Spider Mans back...again.

Got to admit, I thought rebooted Spidey after the successful Sam Raimi franchise was quite ludicrous, by part 3 the series was running out of steam, so my expectations were low, but the reboot turned out to be a surprisingly enjoyable affair. So here we are with Spider Man film number 3, and sadly after just two reboots the series is again looking tired.

Spidey (the pretty dull Andrew Garfield) is with girlfriend Grace (the pretty dull Emma Stone), we've got numerous bad guys, Jamie Foxx has a laboratory accident and turns into Electro Man, old 'friend' Harry Osbourne (Dane DeHaan) is in a piss about something, I forget what, and after nearly two and a half hours.....you get a movie that has the audacity to say "CHECK OUT WHAT HAPPENS IN PART 3" (in 4 years time!!!)

A mess of a script, far too childish, far too much going on, a film stuttering to find a direction.
