The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Tali: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the latest instalment in the most recent (and much better) reboot of the classic and iconic superhero. The film takes place sometime after the last, with Peter/Spidey's relationship with Gwen moving along. Two different yet related threats plague Peter/Spidey's life in this film. Now, this is both for better and for worse. The action sequences are incredible well done and very captivating (and that surprise ending - OMG!). However, though the two plot lines were linked, they seemed somewhat disjointing and clunky. Whereas the last Spider-man movie was quite spectacular (Garfield trumps McGuire), this one did now have the flow necessary to make it as good as it could have been. 68/100.

Leo: This movie was.....entertaining. Basically, the cast carried the story (stories?) and it was not as I expected. All of the characters were perfectly cast. Harry/Green Goblin, was a great character and actor. Jamie Fox was great as Electro, but that was probably one of the least thought-out characters I've seen in a movie in a long time. The science seemed weird. The character developed a very random hatred of Spider-Man. Harry actually did have a reason to hate Spider-Man but I would probably too if he didn't give me the blood for no apparent reason and didn't even bother testing it or anything. It was just a hard "no". They sort of just forced hatred upon Spider-Man in this movie instead of building it up logically like the last movie. As sad as it is, the only thing that saved the plot of the movie was the ending. Paul Giamatti was also good comedic relief. Overall, this movie lacked the flow and foundation of the actual Marvel Studios movies, and while the cast was strong enough to make the movie entertaining, it was not enough. Still see it though. 59/100.
