Better Late Then Never
A different way of telling a story
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
I guess if I was to pick something good it would be the design of Spiderman's suit and some of the CGI done on him in the action scenes as well as the fact some of the actors look like they're trying. That's probably it. Everything else was very poor. The villains were hilariously cheesy, the story was just a complete mess, the tone was all over the place and it felt like a mix up between a sequel to the first 'Amazing' Spiderman and a trailer for a third installment that never came to be. The first time I watched this in 2014, I thought it was good. I really don't know what came over me that day. I came to to realise shortly after that it is just a cheesy, boring, cringe worthy, set-up movie that just failed on almost every level.
Boy is this movie horrible. It fails on so many levels I can't even count them. I watched this movie hoping it would be better than the previous one, and I was sorely disappointed.EVERY CHARACTER in this movie is terrible. You don't feel for any of them, nor do you like any of them. They're all boring charicatures who only play one role.Holy cow the shaky cam. It's unecesarry and stupid, and plagues so many parts of this movie. It looks bad and is only there because the cinematography is so bleedingly atrocious. The beginning has it especially bad, with shaky cam out the wazoo, and it never works.Nothing in this movie looks good. The color correction is horrible and the characters look dumb.The story is incoherent, dumb, and cliche. The villain's plot is stupendously dull, and the tone is bad and inconsistent. The humor never works. All of the shots are so bland and tasteless.This is a forgettable, talentless, boring movie, and it really shows. Do not spend money on this disgusting piece of film.
Every super hero needs a super villain. This episode introduces us to Electro (Jamie Foxx) and the Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan). If that wasn't enough Peter (Andrew Garfield) must deal with his on again/off again relationship with Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) and he discovers the truth about his father (Campbell Scott) and Oscorp.I love these modern superhero blockbuster updates...except for maybe that "Green Hornet" thing. What the heck was that about?I will also say I disapprove of the character send off, but I'll get over it. The film contains drama and heart as well as good action scenes. If anything Spiderman was able to take care of his foes a little too easy.The film sets up for a crazy action sequel. Break out the popcorn.
I'm writing this review because this is my favorite Spider Man movie (despite what the critics say). Marc Webb and the team that produced his movie are an incredibly talented bunch, and the movie deserves better reviews than it received. To me, this movie sets itself apart through the telling of Peter Parker's relationship with Gwen Stacy and her late father...spoiler alert.Peter and Gwen's connection draws you in with its familiarity. I was heart broken when Gwen died (unfortunately) in the end. This movie deserves a high rating simply for having the "guts" to confront mortality and the reality of even a super hero's ability to save even the ones we love most. Phew...now that the heavy stuff is over I'll make a long story short. I had a blast watching this movie and I commend the writers for having he guts to include Gwen Stacy's death, and the talent to do it in a way that set this movie apart from every other super hero movie I've seen.
