Wow, Spider-Man AKA Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is back! This movie starts out with a bang! You are immediately drawn in for the plane ride of your life.
Also, when chaos ensues, Spider Man jumps into action and helps save New York City from impending doom.
This was a non-stop action thrill ride that will excite and entertain you.
As a high school senior on the verge of graduation, Peter Parker has many unanswered questions and unresolved issues concerning the death of his parents and the workings of his father and his fathers relationship with the powerful yet mysterious company Oscorp. He is driven to find out everything he can to try and put the pieces together about his parents and their untimely demise!
He is still smitten with the beautiful, sweet and intelligent class valedictorian Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) and she feels the same way about him.
A former acquaintance of Peter's is Harry Osborn AKA The Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan), son of the owner of Oscorp. He is called home to bid his estranged father farewell on his deathbed. His father informs him that he has inherited the very same rapid spreading disease as he has and because it is genetic, he won't live long either. He is desperate for a cure. He was already an angry young man because his father sent him away at sixteen to boarding school. He inherits his father's $200 Billion company and has absolutely no knowledge of how the company functions! Others on the board of directors try to intimidate and overthrow young Harry and he doesn't know where to turn. He remembers Peter and sends for him. They reunite, touch base and enjoy reminiscing.
Shortly thereafter, a new villain makes an unwelcome appearance with superpowers the likes of which no one has ever seen, Spider Man is once again on the scene fighting with all his might to confront this new menace named Electro AKA Max Dillon (Jamie Foxx) who actually has a kind disposition but is angry because he feels that Spider-Man has betrayed him! Electro was unexpectedly transformed and has no idea how to control his mega power!
Spider-Man is saying goodbye to Gwen when Electro strikes again. She stays with him and tries to fight too! She is sincere and compassionate and helps Spidey with everything she's got!
This is a fun and spellbinding story with some very touching sentimentality with both Gwen and Aunt May (Sally Field).
Peter Parker is a young man with a big heart who is torn and he tries desperately to make the right choices and to be there for everyone. I did feel that there were too many things going on in this story. There were so many adversaries that Spider-Man had more than his share of challenges. That being said, I still really enjoyed the story a lot.
Parents be advised: This is a PG-13 rated movie with a lot of violent action and some scary scenes that are very realistic and intense. I would not recommend this movie for young children. I think 12/13 year olds and older will enjoy it.
I am giving "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" three bags of popcorn.
