The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Movie Review!!!! SPOILERS!!!

   Finding time to write on here is getting harder and harder. But nonetheless!!! We have a new Amazing Spiderman movie to talk about and there was no way I was missing that. So I took my gf with me opening night right after work to catch it, mostly because I personally really liked the last one. I thought it was a great reboot to a "amazing" hero. Besides Superman, Spiderman is among my favorite comic book heroes. With that said, lets about the new one shall we.
   So The Amazing Spiderman 2 features Green Goblin, Electro, and Rhino. Also SPOILER!! Gwen Stacey's death. Everyone's biggest concern with this this movie was there possibly being too many villains, I can honestly tell you there is not. Much like avengers Marc Webb found a great way to space out the villains screen times making the movie very balanced I thought. Even the action was spaced out nicely. My only annoyance was that I personally felt that Gwen's death was rushed, but much like the first one Emma Stone does great as Gwen Stacey, we got to learn more about her but maybe it was just me maybe it wasn't(lets talk about that below). I really enjoyed how we got to see Spiderman the way we see him in the comics, very much a smart ass, very strong, fast and of course smart. Among the Sam Raimi Spiderman movies the thing I hated most was the time Peter Parker was on screen, thankfully Andrew Garfield does not cause this feeling, I actually enjoyed the Peter Parker scenes. I want to say its because there is actually a sense of depth to the character in this reboot that we didn't have before. Speaking of depth, lets talk Dane Dehaan, aka Harry Osborn, aka Green Goblin. I think Dane was a fantastic Harry and a terrifying Goblin. We don't get enough of him in this movie to make any serious judgments I don't think...while we are on the villain subject though lets talk about Jaime Foxx...before he became Electro I honestly could not stand his character Max. He was so crazy, showed no confidence, had a hard on Spiderman since he was saved by him at the start of the movie. As soon as he became Electro though...I think Jamie killed it. He was able to bring a sense of life to the character, making him likable and scary. And the final villain...Rhino, he has about 10 min of total screen time through the entire movie...but the ending scene Paul Giamatti rocks it. I just really hope we get to see more of him in Spiderman 3. 
   Obviously there is sooo much we could talk about for this movie but that would a lot to type, so lets end here and open it up to you all, what were your thoughts about this movie? I want to hear them!!
By the way....8.5/10!!!
