The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Synopsis: We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead. It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp. [Source: Cathay Cineplexes]


 
This movie was a bit disappointing to me as I find it lacks the dramatic fighting scenes expected of a blockbuster. Instead, it focus more on Spider-man's relationship with Gwen (his girl friend before Mary Jane) and his quest to find out what has happened to his parents. I appreciate that the director tried to fill in the missing details on Spider-man's early life but being a block buster, I have higher expectation. All in all, I will advise to give this movie a skip as there are better options available.
 
Rate: 6/10
