There is still Spider-Man's personal turmoil, crises of romance and loyalty, that Webb occasionally holds a few beats too long. Yet the performances ring true, with arresting chemistry where it counts.
Aerial sequences are often thrilling. However, interpersonal relations are front and center in this installment.

Lacks the origin-story freshness of its predecessor (even if the inaugural Garfield Spider-Man came only five years after the final installment of the Sam Raimi-directed Tobey Maguire Spider-Man trilogy). It lacks a charismatic central character, too.
Even at a hefty 142 minutes, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hasn’t the time for its surfeit of plot, nor for the sprawling ensemble of supporting characters caught in the sticky web Webb weaves.
Folks, I confess: I'm coping with a mild case of arachno-apatha-phobia, defined as the fear of another so-so "Spider-Man" sequel.
Ultimately, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is noteworthy for one thing—not waiting until the third or fourth film to achieve the overstuffed, increasingly garish look one associates with less popular (2007’s Spider-Man 3) and outright ridiculed (1997’s Batman and Robin) franchise efforts.
The project as a whole conveys a drab sense of bureaucratic necessity, a "let's get this over with" wheeziness.
Film a mio parere bellissimo, livello di recitazione alto, la regia poteva essere migliore, ma quello che i critici non capiscono è il fatto che devono dare la colpa alla Sony, tutti lo criticano perché ha gettato troppe basi per il futuro che non si sono realizzate… ma il film è fantastico, la tuta di Peter è AMAZING e il rapporto che ha con Gwen si sente davvero, le colonne sonore sono inimmaginabili, il design di Electro originale, forse hanno fatto male ad introdurre Rhino ma anche il mini-combattimento con New Goblin è carino

Mato la saga.

The movie has many themes, weak evil and a bad story twist in Ranjeh.
The film tries to keep the theme of time, responsibility and romance in balance, which falls flat on its head. It also wants to establish a balance between the moments of humor, epic, emotion, etc., which cannot be restored. What James Gunn did perfectly in Guardians of the Galaxy Did.
Both the villains of the movie have weaknesses. Electro is a complex person who is easy to identify with, but neither his appearance nor his motivation to hurt people can be understood. Harry is also not loyal to the comics. That is, the person who has schizophrenia is superior and oppressed. Terin is a comic book patient, he has become a snarling teenager who kills Gwen!
The ending movie makes up for the previous time. But in the comic world, Peter accidentally became Spider-Man. Here, it was revealed that his father's DNA sample was injected into those spiders!!!
Other than this, all the actors, chemistry, special effects, etc. are excellent.
In general, it could be among the best and a masterpiece, but alas...

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an even bigger mess than Spider-Man 3. Like Spider-Man 3, this film has multiple unlikable villains that drag the plot all over the place. Unlike Spider-Man 3, it's also tasked with the unenviable position of setting up a Marvel-like cinematic universe comprised of only Spider-Man characters. If they tried (and failed) to recreate Batman Begins' success with the first Amazing Spider-Man, Sony wants the second one to be their Avengers-like payday. Every bit of it falls flat on its face.

Ok, I will be honest this movie is more rewatchable than the first one as I like the tone much better even though it doesn't match at all with the first. But the movie is a huge mess and is in my opinion the worst Spiderman movie ever made. There were like 15 storylines going on at once which unfortunately caused the villain not to be very well developed and they just feel like CGI and boring characters. Also, there are just unnecessary things that just needed to be cut.
