The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

Contains major spoiler:


My earlier expectation was, I may not enjoy the film because 3 villains maybe too much for 1 superhero.  To my own shock though, it went beyond from being a disappointing film to (in my opinion) a horrible comic book adaptation.  Yes, there were a lot of bad superhero flicks (Green Lantern anyone?) but I did not count that this will happen happen to our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

The good things
  1. Sally Field played the lovable Aunt May.
  2. We know that Emma and Andrew are real life couple, hence the chemistry.
  3. Goodbye Gwen Stacy.
  4. Felicia who maybe the future Black Cat.
  5. The Oscorp inventions (preview of Rhino, Vulture, DocOc, etc.).
  6. The X-Men mid-end-credit-clip.
The bad things
  1. Just like Iron Man 3, the trailers/teasers were deceiving or maybe I misinterpreted it.
  2. I don't want the emo-type Peter Parker and Harry Osborne.
  3. There's just too much romance going on.  
  4. The film lasted close to 2.5 hours - the shows how bad the editing was.
  5. Cheesy dialogues.
I am having a hard time also not to compare Tobey-James-Kirsten with the new trio.  I always find myself favoring the Sam Raimi trilogy.

By the way, I love Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield.
