Just got back from seeing Amazing Spider-Man 2 and....its fantastic. The endless amounts of trailers and promos may make you think that you've practically seen the movie already but in reality there's some great stuff they've kept under wraps. I'm trying to say as little as possible because this is a film best seen blind.

Garfield is still on top form, encompassing all the best aspects of Spidey in a way Macguire can only dream of - the wisecracker, the tragic hero and also the people's hero. Emma Stone is also as great as ever, but its Dane DeHaan that really steals the show. REALLY did not expect to like this Harry Osbourne as much as I did.

As is the case with most multi-villain films there is a lot of going on which means some characters don't get as much focus as they should, but the narrative they're going for in this new Spider-Man film series makes it work. This direction sometimes isn't necessarily what you'd expect from a Spider-Man film, but I commend it for not treading the same old ground and making the films interesting while at the same time doing the source material justice.

Just one spoiler mention, re Rhino (since its been a burning question) - He's barely in it so I have no idea why he was promoted so heavily. In reality it's actually setting up the next film.
