The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hit theaters early in May. The cast featured the return of the dynamic duo Andrew Garfield and and Emma Stone, as well as new characters such as Jamie Foxx as the villain Electro.

I absolutely loved the movie. To be perfectly honest, I have not followed Spider-Man from the comic strips or even the first Tobey Maguire movies. Free of expectations, I thought the first Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movie was awesome. The second movie was equally as awesome, or even better.

The cinematography was astounding. The shots of Garfield swinging through New York streets were absolutely stunning. The CGI was amazing, and Spider-Man’s action stunts were great to watch.

Key plot points from the first Amazing Spider-Man movie carried into the bulk of the movie, especially focusing on the deaths of both Peter’s and Gwen’s fathers.

This movie featured themes of excitement, action and a plotline that surpassed my expectations. The movie revolved around the concepts of vitality and time.

I won’t spoil the ending, but you will either love it or hate it. Hopefully you will go see the movie and join the side of Amazing Spider-Man enthusiasts everywhere!
