Rating: 9 out of 10, I really enjoyed the first movie after
approaching it wondering why it was needed so soon after the Toby Maguire
efforts. This second one is even better
than the excellent first and getting more into the price paid by Spidy and his
friends. Spidy engages in the mid-battle
banter which is more in line with his comic book personae. This kid Garfield can really act and Emma
Stone is a lot of fun in whatever she chooses to do. There’s obvious chemistry between the two but
the scenes with Jaime Foxx make the movie.
It’s great that blockbuster summer movie doesn’t forget to include
compelling stories and actual acting to go along with the special effects
(although those were typically Marvel awesome).
Rare for a sequel to outdo its predecessor but here’s a case. I’m not a
student of the comic book mythology so I’m immune to the Gwen Stacey departure issues. A fun ride.
MVP: Emma Stone as
the Gwen, the best thing about the movie.
