Marvel superhero
return to the big screen once again, this time with a 2 hours + blockbuster action
thriller of The
Amazing Spider-Man 2. Heading back to a premiere screening after
quite some time, the first thing that came to my mind while entering the
theatre was: how amazing can Spider-Man be? Being the most filmed Marvel
superhero, could Director Marc
Webb’s spider-Man escape the web of familiar storyline & cliché..
Storyline: “We've always known that Spider-Man's most
important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary
obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of
Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2™, Peter Parker finds that a greater
conflict lies ahead. It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there's
no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero,
and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a
price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable
villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter
must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry
Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realise that all of his enemies
have one thing in common: OsCorp.” (c) Columbia Pictures
Overall The Amazing
Spider-Man 2 is pretty much similar to its blockbuster debut in
2012, a perfect modern Hollywood blockbuster franchise film. With that being
said, despite the stunning visual & sounds, there’s still more to be expect
in the movie thanks to the strong performances from the entire cast. Having real-life
couple Andrew Garfield & Emma Stone gives a great boost in chemistry to the
movie & the ‘slightly-deviate-from-the-original’ story line involving Peter
Parker's parents is indeed a good attempt. The first-person shots of spidey featured
and some of the big exciting action scenes of Electro were pretty entertaining,
and the character of Spider-Man which made more human does worth some extra credits.
Though The Amazing
Spider-Man 2 wasn’t an outstanding masterpiece still this it is indeed
an entertaining & enjoyable action thriller. It is nice to see Spider-Man
onscreen again.
