Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is back, along with Gwen (Emma Stone), but Spidey is keeping his distance as her father asked him to do. But his old enemies are back, and now led by freak, Electro (Jamie Foxx), all of New York is at dire risk, unless Spiderman can save them one more time. But this is the hardest fight Spiderman has ever had to fight, and this time the whole city is at risk of being wiped out.
When the Amazing Spider-man came out, I thought to myself, why do we have to do this all over again? How can you possibly do it better than the first time? As I was watching this, I expected the same feeling, and I was surprised that I was blown away. So I went back and read my review of the first remake [The Amazing Spider-man (2012)] I found I was blown away by that one as well. I have to admit, this movie was very well made. I also went in expecting not to care for Jamie Foxx very much either, as the villain did not seem a fit role for him, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out his bad guy was awesome. His role starting out as the feeble, nearly invisible Max who was stepped on by everyone in the company on their way to the top, and his change to a ultra powerful villain Electra, was extremely well done. He played a kind of sad, if pissed off powerful guy who you almost feel sorry for. It’s a lot like Peter Parker’s story as well. The story was really well constructed, and I have to take back all the negativity I expected to feel. It was very well done, special effects are great, the soundtrack is very good, and the actors did an awesome job. All in all this is one of the best superhero films I’ve seen, and I was really impressed. Even if you’ve seen the Toby Maguire/Kirsten Dunst versions, you ought to check these out as well. For sure they’re very much worth the effort.
