The villains in this were all half baked. Harry was badly casted, looked like a a goth/emo boy and it was obvious that he was going to be a bad guy from the start, did not have the right look. He was also defeated far too quickly and far too easily, so we have all this build up for very little reward.
Electro had potential but his dialog was cringe worthy and his motivation for hating Spider-Man after initially liking him was stupid and forced. The first fight scene was also very awkwardly staged. He just doesn't have enough to do, and again he gets defeated quickly with not a lot of difficulty.
Don't even get me started on the corny rhino which felt like he was just thrown in there at the last minute.
The action was not even amazing, it lacked weight and emotion, it felt flashy and gimmicky with the slow-motion effects all to capitalize on the 3D aspect. In other words all style and no substance.
This is a mediocre film in every sense of the word. The only positives I can think of is that at least its bigger in scale and better looking than the small, cheap looking, bleak and dull affair of the first Amazing SPider-Man. It's also more entertaining despite its mediocrity. The first one was so badly made as well as boring.
