Just watched The Amazing Spider-Man 2. In a word: awful. Its boring, has a plodding, momentum-free plot and features some of the worst villain characterisations and motivations Ive ever come across in a film. And Peter Parker, who in the first film was a likeable chap, is here a twitching, irritating, emotional wreck of a man who is brokenhearted in one scene, only to be quipping away in the next. Also, as is the case with almost every superhero film these days (the Dark Knight Trilogy being one of the few exceptions), the filmmakers - or interfering studio executives - are so obsessed with setting up the next film in the series that they seem to forget the current film needs to work on its own. (The final few minutes of this film are utterly pointless and spoil what would have been an emotionally resonant and poignant ending.) Unless youre a Spider-Man obsessive, avoid this film like the plague.
