The Amazing Spider-Man 2
As I enjoyed watching the movie at the theater by myself, I decided to give it another try at home with my wife. Undoubtely I can say that the second viewing was much better than the first.
The CGI is gorgeous and the visuals are outstanding. The action sequences are a treat to the eye. The narrative is non linear with a few throwbacks to the past, but it is none convulsive or confusing to those unfamiliar with the franchise. I love the comedic vibe that Garfield gives to Spidey. He really portraits the character and his legendary New York wit well.
Although the villains leave a lot to be desired, the relationship between Peter and Gwen (Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone) is the highlight of the entire movie. It is definitely a love story that reaches a "Romeo and Juliette" climax with a lot of tact and respect for the source material. I believe that nothing else could have been done better to approach one of the most tragic events in Comic Book history, than the way done here. Definitely the sequel is better than the first film by a small margin, but a step forward nonetheless.
7.5/10 - Very Good
