Confident in his powers as Spider-Man, Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) embraces his new role as a hero and spends time with Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) in between protecting New York from criminals. However, his greatest battle yet is about to begin. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront an enemy far more powerful than he is. And when his old friend Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) returns, Peter comes to realize that all his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp.

Critics Consensus

While the cast is outstanding and the special effects are top-notch, the latest installment of the Spidey saga suffers from an unfocused narrative and an overabundance of characters.

David Sims

The Atlantic

Over-stuffed with plot and consequently struggles to invest the audience in any of it, since there's so much to get through and so many future films and spinoffs to set up.

Flavorwire

'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' will certainly make a bazillion dollars, but after you sit through it - all 142 minutes of it - it's very hard to work up a compelling reason that it needed to exist, aside from the aforementioned bazillion dollars.

New Yorker

Despite the efforts of Electro, the franchise is running shockingly low on juice.

While it doesn't attempt anything new (or incredible, or surprising), The Amazing Spider-Man 2 reaffirms the formula with Webb's solid direction and a couple of protagonists that look infinitely more comfortable in their roles. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 6/10

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

Despite the charm and chemistry between the two leads, this attempt to reinvent the series fails to ever justify its own existence.

Rated: 2/5

For the Win (USA Today)

While The Amazing Spider-Man 2 isn’t that much of an improvement over its predecessor, Jamie Foxx’s Electro (and the craft that accompanied it) was a big boost over how the first film used its villain.

Mr. Hollywood

What a bloated mess. The first didnt justify its existence and this one thinks by adding more and more storylines itll hide that fact. It doesnt. And to top it all off the mystery about Parkers parents ends with a thats it? Boeing unoriginal

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Best ensemble of all Spiderman installments well acted & humanistic portrayal of the superhero complex. Arguably, the best Spiderman movie of all time, has Academy Award recognition 10 years ago.
