Do not watch this movie. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone definitely make a cute couple. They should just produce a romance with them. Wait for that movie instead of watching this now. The characters seem to loose dimension. The plot between Peter and Gwen is basically: "I am going to go." - "No don't go." - "Yes, I will go." - "Don't go away", etc. Who wrote that? And then there are the two villains... Electro is a laughably 1 dimensional character that is simply ridiculous when he is still a human. As other form, he can atleast fight, kind of. The action scenes were actually so bad that I wanted to watch the whole "I will go to somewhere else" thingy Peter and Gwen got going on. The green goblin is not too bad, however there are so many enemies in the Spider-Man universe, I don't think they should've brought one of the few back there were in the original trilogy. However, I already should've stopped watching when Electro first appeared, so what does it really matter anyways. In conclusion: - Weak characters development from the first movie "simplified", terrible dialog, missed potential, laughably terrible villain + Cute couple, 1 villain that is not complete %$§& Do not watch this movie.

Ehhh, okay. The story was pretty rubbish and the first movie was definitely a lot better. Also what a terribly obnoxious soundtrack.

Terribly underrated movie. A lot of people seem to think the story isn't very focused, or has too many villains. I understand where that complaint is coming from, but I disagree. The main story is about the failures of Spider-man/Peter, and how that ultimately leads to the events that happen at the climax. People also have a problem with Jamie Foxx's character, and I think that simply comes from a misunderstanding of that character. At first glance you might think this is just a goofy/campy character that doesn't make a lot of sense in the things that he does, but if you pay attention, Jamie Foxx is actually playing this character with a mental disability. The actions he takes make perfect sense from that perspective. Also, people complain about the Rhino, but I think that should be obvious that character was only used for a fun beginning and end set piece moment, and was never really part of the story. Despite what some people may not like about the movie, it was clearly the movie that came closest to bringing the look and feel of comic book Spider-man to screen. I haven't seen anything of Homecoming yet, so who knows, maybe that will go a step further, but this movie was pretty spot on with the suit, the action, and the writing. It just felt exactly the way a Spider-man movie should feel. Oh, and the 3D is amazing. A few of those scenes bring the same feeling a roller coaster does when it's about to go down the first drop, just some of the best 3D I've seen. As for the score, it's solid, but I don't think it quite matches what any of the other movies have done. Although I do like the idea they used of basically hearing Electro's thoughts through the music playing in the background. The orchestral theme used for Spidey is quite good, almost sounding like a Superman theme in spots, but it just doesn't quite hit the same emotional impact as the other Spider-man movie themes. The biggest problem I have with this movie is not with the movie itself, but with the fact that we'll never get to see the consequences of what happens at the end of the story. There was so much potential being built up for sequels, with the green goblin almost certainly being the main villain for the next film, as well as possibly exploring a darker side of spider-man properly (likely with the symbiote, as they were leading to an eventual venom movie). Also, I would have loved to see Felicity Jones as Black Cat, especially if she was paired up with Black Suit Spidey. And then obviously you have the whole Sinister Six storyline that was being developed. I hope perhaps Sony and Marvel can maybe do a "Spiderverse" storyline, including Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire if possible. There's already some basis for doing such a thing in the comics, and with Doctor Strange in the MCU, they could certainly pull it off, but who knows.

Spidey made me cry… real tears
