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.

Xavier

very much enjoyed this, although I feel too much was cut out from a certain character's back story

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Sloppy, aimless, and lame except for a few great scenes. They didn't even get the death of Gwen right -- it made Spidey look incompetent instead of arrogant. And what was that ending? Sesame Street science fiction?! It just shows that Spidey still hasn't grown up much, giving him attitude and dialog more suited to Deadpool.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

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.

Jason Bailey

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.

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.

Cory Woodroof

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.

Keith Garlington

Keith & the Movies

Several of the film’s components work really well while others drag the film down or hinder the storytelling. Perhaps the biggest problem is that the movie tries to cram in too much story and too many characters.

Rated: 2/5
