The Amazing Spider-man 2

Spidey is at it again. For those of you who don't want any spoilers, I'll make this quick; if you liked the first installment, you'll more than likely love the second. I saw it in IMAX 3d, and the visuals were stunning; it definitely isn't one of those movies that makes you wonder why you paid 5 bucks more to watch it through a pair of glasses. The action is fun while still managing to be intense, and the cast is top notch. Though the plot could have been stronger, it was the definition of a summer superhero movie: fun. It also promises big things for Spidey's future. Read on for some spoiler stuff.

*SPOILERS BELOW*

Wows -
 - Garfield and Stone's chemistry is incredible.
- DeHaan (as Harry Osborn) really sells the crazy deranged mentally ill villain role. He could definitely play the Joker if he wanted to. Or a meth addict.
- Jamie Foxx is hilarious as a nerd before he turns into a power hungry (Get it? Power? Ha.) electricity overlord. I honestly felt sorry for the guy.
- Visual effects are fantastic, from the classic shots of our hero web-swinging through NYC to the electricity coursing from a blue Jamie Foxx's body.
- Electro and Osborn make a killer team (Killer! Ha.) and their teamwork makes me excited for the Sinister Six.
- Stan Lee's cameo is always classic.
- We finally figure out why Peter's parents ditched him.
- Spider sense tingles more than ever and makes for some epic camera work.
- Gwen's touching graduation speech.

Pows - 
- The movie doesn't quite succeed in finding the balance between funny and sad.
- Some of Peter's Captain Stacy flashbacks weirded me out.
- I couldn't keep up with Electro's motives.
- I didn't 100% understand why Peter didn't give Harry some of his blood. I mean, the guy was already dying! What's the worst that could have happened? Maybe he saw the whole Green Goblin thing coming.
- Garfield's Bronx accent comes and goes sometimes.
- The plot seems stretched too thin with 2 villains. (I guess this was the problem with Raimi's Spider-man 3.)

In conclusion, I liked this movie a lot. Was it the best superhero movie? No. Was it better than the first? Possibly. Did it have comedic and emotional value? For sure. Was it worth the 15 dollar ticket? Most definitely. It was a great time. Big things are in store for Spidey's return in #3.

Nada. Just an X-Men preview.
