Despite of what everybody says...
I had a lot of fun with this movie. A LOT. Especially when I first saw it in the theatre.
Now I agree with critics that this script is a stinker, I really do hate the script. But I thought Marc Webb evolved a lot as a director from the boring first film. The only thing I do prefer from the first film over this one is the score.
Action scenes especially. The movie just has this epic sense of scale that the first one didnt have. Now I know that the first movie didnt try to be big. It tried to be this intimate story about Peter Parker. But I just thought that it was a reboot with barelly anything to add of newness.
Now getting back to ASM2, I do love this version of Harry Osbourne. Electro didnt feel like a waste because Jamie Foxx actually cared. I do think it was too easy of the scipt to suddenly put him and Spidey as enemies. But I did buy that because they just construct Electro as this completely insane guy. Again, more of an example of a weak script. But it worked! At least for me.
Anyway I thought overall this movie was much more effective than the first and dare I say it, more effective than Homecoming.
