The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Not amazing. Did NOT like this. Unfortunately, Sam Raimi’s Spiderman 2 wrecked the franchise for me by raising the bar so high, no other Spidermans come close. I can’t really put my finger on why I disliked this, but I was bored. It lacked the pomp and circumstance. It lacked showmanship. It lacked humor. Spiderman isn’t symbolic of anything greater than himself. It was unemotional. There’s nothing specifically wrong with it. It just feels so artificial. So cynical and joyless. I miss Bruce Campbell. I miss MJ. I miss Raimi.
