THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2 REVIEW ... SO SPOILERS

So, Spiderman Homecoming is coming out Ina few days so I am on the last Spiderman review before Homecoming drops, The Amazing Spiderman 2 (2014) directed by Marc Webb.

The Amazing Spiderman 2 focuses on Peter Parker, the New York superhero, Spiderman. After the death of Captain Stacy, Peter sees hallucinations of the Captain which leads him to try to make things right with his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy. That is all threatened we new villains arise, Electro, ex-friend the Green Goblin, and the Rhino. Spiderman is put to the ultimate test which not only threatens himself but the ones he loves.

So the thing that went wrong with the Amazing Spiderman 2 is the inclusion of too many characters. The use of the villains was not well done. Electro himself would have been a great villain, there was no need for Green Goblin, by Rhino, don't get me started, or should I say end because he wants in the freaking movie!

There was some cool stuff in the film, such as the character development for Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy I really enjoyed the characters. I found their relationship the most interesting part of the film because this version of Peter is so complex with the hallucinations of Captain Stacy.

The cast in the film was great, Andrew Garfield was amazing as Peter Parker/Spiderman, as well as Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, I really want the two to be in a Spiderverse film in the MCU, that would be awesome. The rest of the cast was good,  Jamie Foxx (Electro), Dane Dehan (Green Goblin), Paul Giamatti (Rhino), Denis Leary (Captain Stacy), and Sally Field (Aunt May).

Overall, the Amazing Spiderman 2 is a weaker Spiderman film which repeats the mistakes of Spiderman 3 with overcrowding characters, however, there are high points in the film which come from the characters, and the film could have been better if they had used the alternate ending with Peter's father coming back. I will give this film a 6 out of 10, this did give us Homecoming. I would like to hear your thoughts on the film down in the comments below. As always thanks for reading, take care.
