Admittedly, I did not see the first Amazing Spiderman, but after seeing its sequel, I feel as though I don't have to and that I probably shouldn't waste my time. What I got from this new series of Spiderman is a hero who is caught up in serious affairs, but deals with them without seriousness. A whiny, unlikeable Peter Parker is not the character audiences would like.
This film was caught up between entertaining children and entertaining teens. The whole teenage drama that ensues in this story is quickly and frequently dumbed down by childish antics. The acting in this new series is poor all around. Watching respectable actors in the older roles is painful because there is nothing for them to develop. The younger actors were terrible. They were unlikable and irritating.
The one redeeming factor of this movie is that the "spider" sequences in NYC were better than the past series. Comparing Electro to Doc Oc is no contest as I think that Spiderman 2 was the best spider flick of all time. Conclusion: Pass On It
Rating: 4.5/10
