Amazing Spider-Man 2, Review

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was in itself, pardon the pun, an amazing film. The main issues I saw with it was the speed it went, the narrative seemed rushed and it relied on the spectacular (for the comic fans sorry for the the choice of adjectives) visual effects from Electro and Spider-Man. The battle sequences were made even more superior, (see what I did there?) to the last film with the use of slow motion and close, two shots of the characters. The film had a feel about it near the end that can only be described as "Middley", which to me means it felt like a middle film and it was leading to something bigger. To put this into comparison, the "Middley" feeling fans felt with The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, or Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, where no matter how much you enjoyed the film, you know something bigger is still to come. I would completly recommend the film to those who are not into the comics that much, but for the diehard comic fans, Amazing Spider-Man 2 is simply a tool to get the Sinister Six ready and hopefully a kick in the direction of Venom.
