Saw Amazing Spiderman 2 and LOVED it. It's the type of superherop movie I've been wanting to see for awhile.
Sometimes in these superhero movies it feels like the filmakers are more interested in the human parts and leave the costume action for the money shots of the film, here it feels like the movie was about SPIDER-MAN, and feeling that Peter and Spider-Man are the same guy. Not here's a Peter Parker movie and he sometimes dresses up as Spider-Man when we need an action sequence.

Also I really liked how they made Spider-Man heroic here. He saves lives big and small, he actually tries to help Max and talk him down rather than swing in with punches right off the bat. He treats that kid with the wind turbine wonderfully. He tries to work at his relationship with Gwen, he wants to save his friend, ect. I got the feeling that his friends had more of the problem with him being Spiderman than Spiderman being the problem.

Electro was neat as hell. His background music was cool and it added a fun factor to his screen time. I reckoned it to thought balloons in comic, kind of what he's thinking while doing stuff and gives electric energy to his thoughts. I felt bad for him when he was human all the way up to him killing his first guy.

Felicia- God I hope we get Black Cat. It's a stretch, I don't hate MJ but I was rooting for Pete and Felicia to hook up back in the 90's cartoon. I good chunk of Spidey's problems would disappear if he hooked up with another superhero.

Gwen was ok. We had the theater to ourselves, so I didn't get to see any crowd reaction. My girlfriend was like '... ... did they just kill Gwen?' then when Gwen didn't wake up, ' That's bullshit'. They handled it well I thought. They set it up typical movie like, when the person comes to and makes a quip, but nope she stayed dead. Good for them.

Harry could have been handled a bit slower, but other wise alright. I still want to see THE Goblin costume with an actual Goblin Mask

One thing I really liked was the amount of villians. I know there's some rule there can only be so many characters to juggle, but I want to see a superhero movie with lots of villains popping up. Maybe a montage of the hero fighting his rogues gallery or something. And if they're setting up the Sinister Six...

All in all it felt like a Good Spider-Man movie. Lots of great effects. Great characters, Great action scenes. The pacing does slow down in places then picks back up.
It felt long, but they had to cram a lot of stuff into this thing, not only to tell it's own story, but to add to the first one and build up for the number 3. But very little felt wrong or out of place, however it does mean that some of the characters don't get time to develop as much.
