The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

    Since our hero never heard the words that inspired him, did he continue to be..


THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

STORY
Set a mere two tears after The Amazing-Spider-Man.  Everything is going well for Peter Parker, as he is a symbol of hope to the city, he finaly graduated high school, and is with the girl of his dreams.  Around this time, Harry Osborne, is called to see his estranged father Norman Osborn, founder of OsCorp(the lab that Dr. Connors was employed) in his final moments.  When he dies, the company is left to Harry, and Peter an old friend of Harry's comes and reintroduces himself.  Around that time Max Dillon, an OsCorp electrician is "killed" in a accedent, but when he arises from what was more like a coma, he's blue and can absorb and control electricity.  Spider-Man will once again have to rise to save the day!(because who else would?)

CONTENT
Again as with all the films i've reviewed so far, this is a action film.  That means it's violent, but it does maintain the PG-13 rating by a long shot.  Electro kills people with electricity, is mad at spidey for some reason, and wants to be seen.  The film deals with what it is exactly that drives heroes to do what they do, just more tragicly than normal.  Again lot's of kissing spread throughout the film.  Languge is again light when compared to the recent Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but still present.

CONCLUSION
It's a fun film, and I went to see it last friday(opening night), and had a blast.  It took me awhile to muster up the courage to write this review, as the original Spider-Man 2 is my favorite Marvel film, and 2, how it left me thinking after the end.  I've followed Spidey's adventures in film, games, and comics(off and on) for the last ten years, and I can tell you this is really good movie, but not the best of the series.  It's main plot is good, but it also expands on Richard and Mary Parkers deaths a bit more, and introduces Rhino and Green Goblin for the next movie, so at times it feels as though it's just there to be there for no reason, but I know these things will be expanded on the next part.  The bad reviews that have popped up, are from haters of the first entry of the series, and so alot of them are biased that the original Spider-Man 2 was better, and I'm here to say yes it is, but we're not talking about the old series we're talking about the new film having improved over the last one, and yes it did.
So with a non biased review from a biased person I give this one...

7 out of 10

The improvement may be small, but I bet that The Amazing Spider-Man 3 will be...
AMAZING
