Amazing Spider Man 2

I liked this movie. Granted, there was a fair amount of dumb shit in it to not be magnificent (this movie has ruined the word amazing for me due to the amount of times its dropped, so I'm using different adjectives instead) but I liked it. The movie didn't feel too crammed, but I felt like it could have reorganized things and made better use of its time. This movie seems to be a big fan of Kamen Rider Faiz as it has a lot of similar tropes to that series. An insane amount of coincidences are needed to get the plot to function, the corporation is evil through and through and behind everything and huge flaws in a lot of the characters. If you're a huge Spider-man fan, you'll get a lot of cool shout outs from Spider-man lore, from names to tech.

Garfield as Peter is as funny as ever. But he has just enough creepy in him to make him not look completely pure. I also liked how Aunt May was flawed. I feel like a lot of Spiderman lore glorifies her alot as perfect, so its nice to know that she can be as secretive and flawed as Peter.

Electro is fantastic. His look is super unique and I love his character arc, his obsession, his desire to be seen, his egocentric view and mission to kill Spiderman and his death was all so well done. Go watch it for yourself.

Harry Osborn was a pretty cool character but he has bullshit plot sickness. You see Norman die in Harry's introduction dying from the disease. Harry says he's dying from the same disease his father is but they never explain if he's going to die immediately or a long time away like his dad. His transformation from Peter's friend into his enemy was great as well.

But Green Goblin. When I saw him for the first time, I literally laughed out loud in the theater. He looked so fucking stupid. He wasn't full on mutant like Norman in the Ultimate universe, armored badass like New Goblin in Spiderman 3, nor was he a completed cartoon golin character like in the comics or the original Spiderman movie. He's this awkward middle of all 3 with his disgusting mutated pours and hair. I like his fight scene but I think he should have had one more fight, his Green Goblin transformation felt sort of rushed. He's well integrated into the plot, don't get me wrong. But Green Goblin was not.

While the movie was dragging out the suspense of Gwen's death and everybody knew they were going to do it, it still felt somber and respectful when it happened, except for that slow motion fucking web hand.

The Rhino felt badly placed. The impression I got from the trailers was that he was going to man on man fight Spidey and then get in his Power suit. But he shows up at the end as the super forced introduction to Oscorp's Sinister Six.
