The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) Review | So Much To Love & Hate 

Thank You For Watching! Leave Me Your HONEST Thoughts On The Amazing Spider Man 2?! LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!!

Yeah I remember liking both Amazing Spider-man movies. I think being released so close after the Raimi movies screwed things up. I remember thinking "Yeah this is cool. They should've just done Spider-man 4 though." The reboot never felt justified.

I personally love this film. Yes it’s filled with multiple plots and does a bit too much world building but it knocked it out of the park with the performances (Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Sally Field, and Dane DeHaan), the score by Hans Zimmer (my favorite in the series), the cinematography, the visual effects, the web slinging, and the emotional punch in the end gets me every time. This film makes me feel like I’ve entered the world of Spider-Man

I think Hans Zimmer's score fits Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man the best just like how Danny Elfman fits with Tobey's Spidey

Definitely has the saddest ending in any Spider-Man film

I agree the story was a huge failure but the cgi, soundtrack and relationship with Andrew and Emma were a 10/10

I'm surprised a lot of people didn't like it, I thought Electro was freaking great

I do actually really like this movie even tho it has a lot of problems Emma Stone and her as Gwen Stacy and her relationship with Andrew as Peter is probably one of the best things to come out of these two movies and I love the visuals so much and it makes me want a multiverse live action show or movie with Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy since she was perfectly casted for the role.

I adore TASM movies, I remember seeing them in theaters and being so hyped. I didn’t understand why ppl just hated it. I love Andrews smart mouth ass Spider-Man and his movements in the suit. That death with Gwen broke me. I went to see these movies with my parents and they even went to see the Toby movies too and my mom cried when Harry died in the third one, and she just lost it when Gwen dies in this one. I remember walking out of the movies and my mom was just like “no puedo creer que mataron a la pobre niña así”

This film had all the stepping stones to be the best Spider-Man film ever, However It's everything wrong with film making ; Studio Intervention. They took a fantastic director, and an *AMAZING* cast, and just used it to set up their sony-verse (look how thatwent). I wish they let Mark Webb do his thing. #TheAmazingSpiderWebbCut

Thank god that Electro is gonna be redeemed in No Way Home.

I will admit, this movie is a mess, but there are still some solid things about it. Like Andrew Garfield is still pretty good as Spider-Man and the romance between him and Gwen is legitimately sweet and engaging. Plus, the action sequences were also legitimately great, It’s just a shame that all got buried when Sony tried to shove in as many plot points as possible in order to compete with the MCU.

I actually love the Amazing Spider-Man 2. While I do consider myself a child of the Amazing Spider-Man era, it’s still “amazing” even without my nostalgia. It has some fantastic fight scenes, an insanely cool score, a nearly perfect Spider-Man suit, and perfect casting. I would’ve loved to see Amazing Spider-Man 3 and I can’t wait to see Andrew back in NWH.

This movie looked amazing, web swinging is still unmatched. I feel like the hate for this movie is just a trend and isn’t realistic

For me after the movie came out, I loved the movie but road the wave of hating this movie until i realized that I shouldn't care what people think. I really like this movie

this movie was hated on just too hard, sure it has some problems and there are better Spider-Man films, but it was still a good movie with a lot of heart and I am happy that lately people starting making reviews of this film and actually seeing the good parts of it 💪

I’m in the minority who actually like this movie a lot , it’s not good but it is fun and I respect that ! ✊ ❤️

I really hope Andrew get his chance to play Spider-Man in No Way Home. I liked his version of Peter Parker

I feel you missed out on talking about that deleted scene of Perers dad still being alive and visiting him at the grave of Gwen finding out about that being a deleted scene messed with me so much. Like who thought of that as a good idea? Love your videos man keep em up xx

I honestly love this movie as a little kid and now I still feel bad for my Boy Max DILLON 😔😭

I will all ways love this movie cause yes there are flaws but these’s a lot to love like the suit, the cgi, and music

I wish that some of the deleted scenes were part of the movie, especially the ones revolving around Green Goblin and Max before he became Electro.

I honestly really liked this movie. I like the banter Spider-Man has with the villains, but a lot of it is just at the wrong times. The whole car chase scene just was too long, and our introduction to Electro just was weird. I do like the graduation speech and how it effects him later after Gwen dies. Seeing Peter struggle with his relationship and how he knows he shouldn't be with her but still does try is really good. Something I like a lot is the connection between the actor for May and Andrew, it feels real.

This was a great movie. The action, performances (particularly Andrew Garfield, Jamie Foxx, Emma Stone, and Paul Giamatti), groundbreaking visual effects, and cinematography are top-notch and the soundtrack is 100% perfection.

I'm going to be honest, in NWH if they send Tobey and Andrew back to their universes, I hope Dr. Strange can send Andrew's Spiderman back to before Gwen died so he can get his happy ending.

Im actually very surprised that you didn't see the gigantic amount of deleted scenes that would have made this movie better and here is one of them that's going to make you wonder WHY THE HELL THIS SCENE WASN'T INCLUDED !? The scene was basically this : PETER was standing at GWEN's grave and then out of no where PETER's father shows up speaking to PETER and PETER is confused and he doesn't believe him and the scene was perfectly well done it was soo dramatic , soo hurt warming and them PETER and his dad walk a little bit and then they set on a chair and then his father says the legendary line ( WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY ) this literally made me tear up this father and son moment was actually well made and man if this scene was in the movie it would have been good it's not just that scene there were gigantic amount of deleted scenes just like the first AMAZING SPIDER MAN movie but over all i don't think it's a bad movie it's just the deleted scenes could have made it better btw if you want to check out some of these deleted scenes there is a youtube channel that shows them

I agree with this. I loved TASM2 but there was a few problems with this like more of the parents origin story. Teasing rhino in all those trailers and teasers for nothing but 5 seconds of total screen time...

I really hope that the theory we have about no way home is true that Andrew Garfield will be the one to save Zendaya I know that the hand we see is Tom's but hopefully they edited in with CGI

To be honest, I feel like all the worst reviewed Spider-Man movies, like this one and Spider-Man 3, are very underrated. I think critics were just being critics. Even though they’re not the best, they’re not the worst either. Except for that Japanese rip-off. That one does suck!

i really like this movie, has some really cool fight scenes and a brilliant score

Despite what alot of people say about this movie I thought there were really good elements in it.And the costume is gorgeous!

I actually really liked this one, I prefer it over the first. Electro's music was also great to me

I rewatched all the Spider-Man movies and I genuinely don’t think there’s a bad one in the bunch

Honestly I actually like the conversation scene with Harry and electro even as a kid I felt bad for Harry when he beged for him and said i "I know what it's like to be thrown away but that's my opinion

Man i just love cris he makes anything enjoyable and love his humor and “cringe” intros i find them funny tbh ❤️

This movie had so much potential since the first one was so good (to me anyway) and they really messed it up. Thanks Sony, you ruined another Spider-Man. Although the opening swing is absolutely fantastic.

I personally don’t get all the hate. It was my favorite Spider-Man movie to date and probably still is. It has great action and villains

I never understood the hate that this awesome movie gets. I absolutely love this movie. I recently rewatched it and I still absolutely love this movie. I know I'm going to get crap for this but I find this movie to be a lot more better than far from home. It's a fun movie and the performances from Andrew, Emma, Jamie, Sally, and Dane were great. This is by far the most underrated Spiderman movie ever and I wish it would get more respect.

Sad to see Andrew never got his own perfect trilogy, maybe NWH could partially be Andrew's TASM3.

I love how you always go into deep detail in these reviews, and every time you talk about with great detail, I always agree with what ever you say. Even on the part where you say that you can't believe that this movie was hated by hardcore Spider-Man fans, and that you loved the swinging and hated everything that you felt negative about. But could we all agree that the electro goes hard with the music?(not including the vocals)

I didn’t really like the movies but I rewatched it again recently and the thing that made this movie for me was my Sympathy for electro the sound track the relationship with Peter and Gwen and visual effects

Garfield: "Hey, my name is Spider-Man, you can call me Web-Head, you can call me Amazing, just don't call me 'late for dinner'."

I enjoyed amazing spider-man 2 and also loved the connection they shared. I was kinda hoping they would have shown a credit scene of someone like prof. Miles Warren having a vial of maybe Peter's and Gwen's DNA or blood as a sign they would do the clone saga!! Sadly that wasn't the case.

I love this movie just cuz of the electro theme, the vfx swinging scenes, the suit, the final fight and the mystery man in the hat at the end of the movie.

I honestly was 50/50 with The Amazing Spider-Man 2. When the first trailer came out I was very excited and specially that we would see a live version of Electro and Rhino and also a new version of the Green Goblin. But now I see why some people hate Sony’s version of Electro, Rhino and the Green Goblin. I honestly did like all three villains and had no problem with their design. But the plot for Norman Osborn was a little disappointing. I was actually hoping we would see Norman Osborn as the Green Goblin for The Amazing Spider-Man 3. Andrew Garfield did an excellent work as Spider-Man, but Sony was going for a very risky and dumb plot for The Amazing Spider-Man 3. I’m still disappointed that we never got to see Andrew Garfield do Spider-Man 3.

My problem with the amazing Spider-Man movies. They felt way too close to Sam Raimi‘s! Trying to do everything that’s already been done. And it did not work for me!

the electro suite is amazing to me. i love it so much. it should have genuinely have wayyyy more attention than it has rn. it's obviously as u said got a good beat and sound.. the reason it has the voices in them is because thats kind of like the voices in his head. going berserk. and he can't control it. we know this because we see that Max Dillan isn't.. mentally stable. so that explains the voices. that they are all in his head.

Found it interesting that Gwen was on the path to England before she died and that’s where Holland’s Spidey ended up at the end of FFH. No connection whatsoever, but felt like we came full circle. And that Elektro music was epic. It was a conglomeration of his madness and rage (kind of like the voices in his head being represented through the song).

I've always said that all the individual plot threads in this movie- Harry and his transformation, Electro, Peter and Gwen's relationship, the ongoing conspiracy with his parents, Hell even The Rhino, were handled perfectly well. There was just way too much. There was enough content here to fit into two, maybe even three movies, and considering they were working under the assumption they'd be making a third, it baffles me why they felt the need to dump everything into this one. Also, at 29:52 you can see the pattern on the upper arm of the Goblin suit emulating the scale pattern of his comic book costume. I always thought that was a nice touch.

That intro had me laughing🤣🤣🤣 and I was hoping for Rhino 🦏 to come back in tasm 3 with a more comic accurate look 😀👌🏽

For Jamie Foxx's electro, if you exclude that aspect of his character being a huge Spidey fan and just focused on how he is an underappreciated employee at Oscorp, that would have strengthened his motivations in this film a lot better, in my opinion.

For me I love Both Marvel and DC equally. I read all Marvel and DC comics as a kid. I loved The tasm universe. This universe feels so special for me. I love the tasm universe b/c it takes alot from the Ultimate universe comics of spiderman. The Ultimate universe spiderman comics is where andrew's spiderman came from that's why they are my favorite live action spiderman movies of all time. These films were made with heart by marc webb. The problem was is that sony mostly avi arad were doing so much studio interference with marc webb. so much footage and plot was cut from both tasm 1 and tasm 2. I'm only 19. and I remember the hate the tasm 2 got back in 2014. The hate was overboard and the movie did not deserve the hate at all. I'm in the minority the loves tasm 2. I just hope that one day. we can see Marc Webb's true vision of both tasm 1 and tasm 2.

Does he ever tell Gwen about the promise that he made to her father when he died?

I remember I was 8 and so hyped for this movie now that I look back I’m even more hyped for no way home

When I First Saw This It was Like The best spider man movie for me !!!!!! It has a soft corner. Great job Chris 👏 Saw the review fully.

The opening to this movie will always be his suit dissolving into frame then web swinging, mainly because I’ve blocked out Peters parents and that whole storyline from this movie in my head.

I don't mind TASM2 but because it had so much going on, I am kinda scared for no way home, no way home does look like it will have alot of stuff going on and make the movie the same place where TASM2 on the ranking board

Dane DeHaan is such a great actor. I especially love his role in Through The Never, he only has one line, and it's just him yelling "HEY, HEY", but he still blew it out of the park. But I think the crazier Harry becomes, the worst Dane's acting gets. And I personally like everything they did with Electro (minus the little imaginary freak out). I think his delusional psychotic behavior mixed with being push to his breaking point was a really nice villain set up. But when I first saw Spiderman's new suit, I really hated it (I have grown to really like it). It was mostly the eyes. I really liked the bronze sunglasses on the first suit. Plus the colors and material on the first suit were awesome. I also think that they should have waited kill Gwen until the third film. It would have been more impactful. All that being said, The Amazing Spiderman 2 currently makes it into my top 3 Spiderman films, and my top five Spiderman related films. I just wish they had made a third film (without the whole resurrection thing).

Chris you da man. All the work you put into these videos and your “cringtros” are just awesome man. Been with the channel since early 2019 and I’m so happy to see how far you’ve come man. Can’t wait to see where you go in life brother🤟

Don’t get me wrong, this movie isn’t that great, but when it’s good it’s GOOD. I’ll always have a soft spot for this film

When I watched this in theaters, I was happy and confused at the same time, and rewatching it later on, I come to grips on being the Best action pack for a Spiderman movie, but a disappoint one that even fans really agree that it was rushed or force by the studio, Webb is a stylish artist, this does have much artist, but it's really lazy writing

I am so happy that Electro is gonna get another chance in No Way Home.

After rewatching this movie I can agree with everything you said and I thought it was good for what it was and it sucks knowing that the mismanagement of this film was the downfall of this film

Honestly even rewatching this I loved it, especially the clock tower scene and it still made me cry

This movie did not deserve the hate it got, still an amazing movie:)

I’m about to go in a parade wearing my TASM 1 suit. That’s how much I love this spiderman. The first film anyway. I’m also wearing it to the iMAX theatres Friday the 17th!!

For me the reason I love this movie is because It showed me who Spider-Man is a hero as a 8 year old who was basically obsessed with him not like electro don’t worry these movies felt special for me since they came out at the right time even if I grew up with the tobey films these made me love the character even more and even then I still love tobey and toms films but Andrew will be my favorite plus the suit is a fricking masterpiece I wore it 3 Halloweens in row, wow I am short

Chris, you and I have had almost the exact same opinions on all these Spider-Man films you've reviewed.

I hate that we as fans automatically compare the Spider-Men. When Andrew was Spider-Man I loved both films and loved him as Spider-Man. When Homecoming came out I loved it and then had my mind set that Tom was my favorite. It’s weird how it works for me but I just like to enjoy these films and not criticize them. But that’s just me.

In my opinion Andrew Garfield did an amazing job as spiderman. The only thing I didn't like was the design choice for Harry Osborn but overall I really loved it. My friend and I have been thinking about an awesome way to introduce Andrew back into the web of things, we thought what if in the new movie a portal opens and they show Andrew and the rhino going out of the portal at the same time, that's a perfect idea to introduce another villain into the MCU.

In the end credits it shows us the members of the sinister six. It shows 5 animal themed villains. Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Chameleon, Rhino and Vulture. The only villain who isn't a animal themed one is Kraven the Hunter, who hunts animals. Lol.

Gwen stacy's death was a bit more believable in this movie than it was in the comics. Having her bounce off the floor is so much more violent and therefore believable than gwen's neck breaking from spider-web whip lash. She could've survived that in real life. Injured for life perhaps, but yeah still alive.

The sad part is that this could've been the greatest Spider Man movie ever made but due to unfortunate interference of Sony it was degraded so much.

The Peter and Gwen storyline makes up for all the flaws imo. It's so good.

The intros are getting better and better. Keep up the amazing videos kris

I like this movie. I appreciate it for what it is because I'm sure we'll most likely never see anything like it again. Peter Parker having a musical montage in his room, Electro being badass with the dubstep, that great cgi with that spicy suit, Peter and Aunt May's scenes and Andrew Garfield with Emma Stone.

I know you won't see this but what I want to say is that this in POV is the one of the best Spiderman movies ever after Spiderman 3. Andrew Garfield was the best cast for being Spiderman to be honest I know it had its flaws but alot about this movie is so awesome This movie will always be my favourite movie, and Spiderman movie

That Far From Home joke got me so good 🤣🤣

To people curious why electro was blue here, In the ultimate comics electro's full power form is completely clue just like this. Ultimate comics make these movies so much better.

Andrew Garfield is by far the best spiderman and he is such an amazing actor he really feels like spiderman and Peter Parker. I love both his movies and despite there flaws I think they just capture the character so well.

The storyline with his parents is one of the most interesting parts of thos series. Andrew Garfield is by far the best Spiderman

The problem with this movie is that it’s boring. Once he took out Electro in Times Square there wasn’t anymore Fight Scenes until the very end

thank you so much Cris for doing all this, maybe when the batman roles around maybe you should review all the live-action batman solo movies. i would suggest scream but its a little late for that. I agree this movie is in my top 3 favorite spiderman movies and I knew Gwen's death was coming right as she was captured. my list of top 3 spider mans are Spider man 3, Amazing spider man 2 then spider man far from home keep up the good work.

While this is easily my least favorite Spider-Man movie, it probably has the best Spider-Man comedy and action. Garfield clearly loved being Spidey and he was a bright light in this disappointing flick

I saw this movie as a kid and even thought nostalgia must be speaking, i really like, No i love this movie, the story as some flaws but the fights, the swinging scenes, spidey suit and the vilains (expect Rhino) were all Amazing in their own way and i really dig Andrew's Peter and Dane Deehan Harry frendship in this movie, it feels so natural and idk man there so much to love. If there's something that i hate, it's the ending, because even though it's a great thing to show that spidey will always be here to protect the innocents, i wish the had kept the end scene were we discover that Peter father is still alive, it was so emotional, and such great acting from Andrew in this one scene! Anyway, Hope they do electro good in no way home and we have a great conclusion to THE AMAZING SPIDER MAN that is Andrew Garfield.

Right as I was wondering when you'd upload this! Great Job, Chris! Less than a week to NWH!

Even though it’s been a couple years I very clearly remember this movie theatre experience. At the time I was just a kid, so I was able to see through the flaws and just enjoys the eye candy that is this movie. I remember actually loving this movie, and to this day I can recognize the huge flaws, but see through it to find a very fun Spiderman movie. This was the first time I cried watching a movie, Gwen’s death just hit so hard. The amazing spidermen movies though flawed, have a special place in my heart because I grew up with them, I didn’t grow up with Toby, but I can still recognize that he had pretty good movies. With the new Spiderman movies I don’t feel as connected to the characters, they just feel like they’re there for cheap jokes. If Ned or Michelle dies open no way home, I won’t be able to feel as sad or hurt because they just haven’t done enough for me to care.

"I'm really going to enjoy this"-Bully Maguire

Favorite lines from the Films: "He humiliated me by touching me " "YOU'RE A FRAUD SPIDERMAN" Doc Oct: NOOOOOO 😂

While I don’t like this movie there are something’s I like about it. Like the Spider-Man suit, Gwen’s and Peters Chemistry, visual effects, etc

When TASM 2 came out I watched it in theaters, it was my favorite movie. I mean I was ten so, not exactly the highest standards. But I still have a soft spot for it.

The story failed for me but the acting was incredible along with a few memorable scenes including the swinging opening and the action sequences also there wasn't enough spiderman in the film for me....Sadly I do think this is the worst spiderman movie but I'd rate it a 6.75. The acting and action scenes saved the movie for me because I see them as some of the best spiderman fights to this day especially the final battle

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ain't no legendary sequel and it's story structure does not come close to its predecessor, but the action is more enjoyable, the visuals are some of the best in Spider-Man movie, and the chemistry between Garfield's Parker and Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy is always amazing. It is enough for us to pardon Sony with their plot's identity crisis.

I’m gonna be honest. I kinda wanted to see TASM 3. Not because I thought it was gonna be good. I just want closure. I’ve just always wondered how it was gonna end rather than it just being talked about. Edit: Crap. Nevermind.

I just watched the TASM 1 Review and you mentioned being a freshman in high school when it came out in ‘12….how’re you a freshman in college in ‘14 if it was only 2-3 school years later…you’d be like a junior or a senior man 😭😭😂😂 Small gripe aside, I love the content and look forward to seeing you pop up as a notification for a new video. Gets me excited about things I can go see with my childhood friends and feel like I’m 12 again.

I love this movie for what it is but the thing that kills it really is just the plot and how it played out

I still think if they made Gwen SpiderGwen it would work with the how them hooking up and breaking up and have Spiderman eventually get over it as she proves capable of fighting bad guys by herself while still being with him.

Dude amazing video !! 👌 STOKED for No Way Home !! You doing another review before NWH comes out?

The deleted scene with his dad was a very great preformance tbh I even felt sad feeling his pain I really wish they keep it in the movie because it gave that "With Great Power comes Great Responsibility" speech

Unpopular opinion : Andrew and Emma Stone have better chemistry than Zendaya and Tom holland
