I was very pleased with this film. I am a big Spider-man fan and this was by far the best film yet.
The film was very fast-paced; there was never a dull moment. At first, the movie seemed to progress too fast, but in the end I enjoyed this aspect because it made the film constantly exciting. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone do a very good job acting in general and portraying the love interest. Although there are a few bumps in their relationship, it is not overly dramatic like Maguire/Dunst in Spider-mans 1, 2 and 3, which was a relief.
People complain that there were too many villains, but this was not a problem at all. This film did well incorporating and introducing both villains and their action with Spider-man.
The only thing that disappointed me was the action–in reviews I had read that there was a lot and that it was well-done. The special effects were very well done, but the action between Spider-man and the main villains was limited. Additionally, the action between Spider-man and his villains still was not up to par with that of Spider-man 2 with Doc Ock. Although the action was not what I was expecting, it was still a great part of the film and very enjoyable.
Also, although Jamie Foxx did a good job in this film, using him seemed unnecessary, especially because he is the sparkling-blue Electro for most of the film, you can hardly tell that it is Jamie Foxx, and he doesn’t talk much while he is Electro. However, Foxx did a good job and contributed to the film.
In closing, I highly recommend this film. It is clearly the best Spider-man film until now and will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire film. It was very interesting, engaging, and exciting. You won’t be disappointed.
