Trying to process exactly what just happened in The Amazing
Spiderman 2: difficulty even trying to fathom it all.
It was 143 minutes of pure entertainment. I’m a big fan of
Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, and boy do they borrow a sizzle from their
off-screen romance and blast it up to amplified heats on. screen. There’s a huge transformation between the first and
second of the prequels – they’re both mature, they both know what they want,
and they’re both quite stubborn.
Peter has come into his skin, and this is portrayed
beautifully by such mind-blowing effects that make you feel like you’re
hitching a piggyback. One could only wish, hey? Humour is used throughout the
film (more so in my opinion than the previous) and it’s so refreshingly light
to tip-toe between drama and that comedic element that makes the film (and
Peter) so humble. The character of Gwen has obviously so ravishingly blossomed:
Gwen has always, in my view, had an aura of confidence about her that was
captivating, but, Stone definitely takes Gwen to the next level. There’s less
fickleness and more risks that make the movie so, so thrilling. Emma’s own personality definitely shines through for
that little element of sexy-but-innocent-sex-bomb-kinda vibe.
Jamie Foxx and Dane DeHaan are incredible. The villians ‘Electro’ and the ‘Green Goblin’ are
almost, ALMOST loveable they’re that
well portrayed. It’s always difficult with prequels to live up to an already
adapted character but boy was it good.
The story in itself broke my heart many-a-times, and I definitely shed my fair share of tears. I’m not made of ice. It was brutal towards the end but I guess things have to go wrong for them to go oh so right again (*no spoilers* but let’s not pretend we don’t know about Mary Jane…)
Last but not least was my OTP. The special effects and the
orchestra made the most alluring cinematic babies I have seen so far. It’s
genius in the way of synchronisation, genius in the incorporation of the
Spiderman theme tune (and Incy Winsy Spider alike!) and genius in the art of
breaking hearts and putting them back together again. Although I didn’t watch
this movie in 3D (I got tickets to Vue’s Xtreme screen) it would’ve probably
vamped up the movie to impossible reaches.
I do not have a bad word to say apart from the evident disappointment
I have that there’s probably never going to be another one… meh.
I highly recommend you go see it for yourself. But if you're still on the fence, why not check out the trailer right here?
