The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Second film today and this was the main feature. This one carries on with Andrew Garfields Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and in this one (initially at least) he's fully accepted his powers. Still a bit miffed with his parents 'doing a runner' and the promise he made to his girlfriends dad to stay away from her.. Enter into the fray Mr Osbourne (he of Oscorp) and son (the excellent Dane DeHann) and Jammie Foxx's Electro and you know the routine...

Again we have another 'trailer spoils film' routine here.. This one was particularly bad regarding a certain character and his tacked on appearance at the end.. Well that's what it felt like.. And again the film was just too long.. In it's defence the money was up there on the screen. The set pieces were excellent, but again if you've seen the trailer... 

I wasn't a big fan of the first Amazing Spider-Man.. It was ok.. As was this. Should have been better though..
Another disappointing **1/2

And as for the obligatory Marvel credit sting.. **spoiler** it was an 'X-Men:days of future past' snippet.. I couldn't be arsed to wait for the very end of the credits...
