About The Amazing Spider-Man 2

For Peter Parker, life is busy. Between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen Stacy, high school graduation cannot come quickly enough. Peter has not forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away, but that is a promise he cannot keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro, emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn, returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.

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.
