Spider-Man has always been more comedic and witty in comparison to other Marvel superheroes, and it’s obvious from the one-liners and cheeky dialogue that Andrew Garfield is having fun with his part whilst battling the criminals of New York.
There are plenty of things for fans of the comics to be pleased about here: one is the archetypal element of Spider-Man’s personality as a superhero, and the other is the Easter eggs for the Sinister Six (Doc Oc’s armour makes a brief cameo).

Only the heart-stopping events in the last part of the movie cause us to realise exactly why the creators had us rooting for Gwen Stacey. It’s evident from the amount of effort that’s gone into creating the passion and tension between the two that Stacey’s fate hangs in the balance. One factor that’s worth celebrating about The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the sparks that fly between Garfield’s Peter Parker and Stone’s Gwen Stacey. Despite this the narrative in director Mark Webb’s comic-based film doesn’t flow naturally and in some places it feels like it’s stilted. That having been said, not every movie to come out of a huge consumer-franchise has to feel like an action packed romp. Despite this, there are still many flaws to the villain filled sequel. Maybe it’s because Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier packed such a punch, though you can’t help but notice that two thirds of the film feels like it’s lasting for an eternity. Marvel’s second film in the web-slinging superhero’s reboot, which hit UK cinemas this weekend, owes its successes to the on-screen chemistry between off-screen couple Andrew Garfield (Peter Parker) and Emma Stone (Gwen Stacey).
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 may not keep you on the edge of your seat, but it will break your heart.
