Our take on The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Marc Webb's 2014 superhero sequel finds Peter Parker juggling the everyday weight of high-school graduation, his romance with Gwen Stacy, and the promise he made to her late father to keep her safe. When a new threat named Electro emerges and his old friend Harry Osborn resurfaces, Peter starts unearthing clues about his own past. Slotting into action, adventure and science fiction, it leans hard on spectacle and the tug between duty and love. It suits viewers who want big-scale comic-book energy with an emotional streak, and anyone following this incarnation of the wall-crawler will find plenty to chew on here.
