The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) 7/10

Starring : Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Colm Feore, Felicity Jones, Paul Giamatti, Sally Field
Director : Marc Webb
Running Time : 142 mins

As Peter Parker (Garfield) continues to investigate what happened to his parents, he finds himself – in his guise as The Amazing Spider-Man – pitted against a new villain, an electrician named Max Dillon (Foxx) who gains super powers and calls himself Electro. Peter soon discovers that Electro is yet another result of the sinister workings of Oscorp, and that there may be more villains heading his way as he tries to deal with more personal tragedy...

In many ways this wasn’t as good as the 2012 movie, what with this having too many potential super villains going on (if you just include characters I counted six, if you include costumes, many more) , but it is still a fun comic book romp that doesn’t pull any punches. Fans of the comics will inevitably feel torn by the poor portrayal of some of the characters and the expertly rendered moments pulled almost directly from the comics.
