]]>Jake Gyllenhaal has always been in my personal top 5 favorite actors and in this film he proves yet again why he is. This could have easily been another bland forgettable Netflix original but Gyllenhaal is just phenomenal like always. It’s a hard thing for an actor to carry an entire film being pretty much the only person on screen the entire time and not everyone can do it but Gyllenhaal proves he most definitely can. His screen presence is a force to be reckoned with and makes this film so captivating.
How does this man not have an Oscar yet?!?!

]]>This is such a hard movie to give a star rating to. There is things in this film that are 5/5 stars and some of the best Spidey content we have ever gotten in my opinion. However there is also stuff thats like 1 star and some of the worst Spidey content we have ever gotten.
Lets start with the negatives. This films biggest issue is that it's an over bloated mess. Sony wanted to try and set up an entire god damn universe with this one 2 hour movie. They just threw everything into this film. We got Harry introduced into this film as Peter's used to be best friend despite not even being mentioned before and it just felt like it came out of nowhere. Honestly though I actually thought Dane DeHaan did a good job as Harry and thought him and Garfields chemistry in their one scene together as friends worked. However they then rushed so fast into his change into Goblin that it felt so unearned and forced. Then you have Paul Giamatti who just annoyingly screams as a criminal at the beginning of the film and then comes back in the last 2 minutes in a giant mech Rhino suit that looks like something out of a Micheal Bay Transformers movie. Then they throw in a Felicia Hardy cameo because why the hell not every other Spider-Man characters in this movie already. Which by the way I think Felicity Jones would have been a great Black Cat and really wish we would of got to see that. Then they randomly throw in a tease for the sinister six in the last 30 minutes. This film practically tripped into it's third act because it wanted to do so much that nothing felt like it got a satisfying arc or conclusion (minus Peter and Gwen which will get to later) so by the time the final act started I was caught so off guard because it didn't feel earned or make any since. It feels so obvious that Sony was more interested in making money off of future projects then actually making a quality movie in the present and now after their disastrous recent Spidey universe it seems they didn't learn any lessons.
On top of that you also have the stuff with Peters parents that I didn't like in the first film but this movie has it take even more center stage and I just don't give a shit. Peter has always been raised by uncle Ben and aunt May and I don't anyone every asking or caring what happened to his parents. This film also makes this storyline even worse by adding in this thing about the reason Peter was able to become Spider-Man is because his dad made it to where it would only work with his DNA. One of the things that makes Peter Parker so cool is he's just a normal high school kid that happens to get bit by this radioactive spider and get these amazing powers but this film try's to turn him into some chosen one like Neo or Anakin where only he could be Spider-Man and thats just so not what the character of Spider-Man is supposed to be.
Now we have yet to mention the worst part of this film which Is Jaime Foxx's Electro. I love Jaime Foxx but I don't know what the hell he was doing in this movie. To be fair though it's more the writings fault then it is his. First off you have his really weird ass design where he looks like a giant blue popsicle but even weirder then that was their decision to make him be some sad loner that was a super fan of Spidey and after swimming with some eels decided to be a super villain because Spider-Man didn't like him back in his eyes. It's such a dumb and boring motivation for a villain. Then to top it off every line of dialogue that comes out of his mouth is something you could turn into a meme or put onto a t-shirt. It's such a laughably bad storyline that every time he's on screen your either yawning or laughing at how dumb it is. I'm glad Jaime Foxx got his redemption as this character in No Way Home because him in this movie has to be one of the worst comic book movie characters of all time.
Now onto the good. This is the best live action Spider-Man suit hands down for me. I know some will still pick Tobey's and his is great but this suit just oozes the Spidey comic feel and this suit is what I envision when I think of Spider-Man. The colors, the eyes, the symbol just everything is perfect. The action is also solid I will say theirs no swinging scenes in this film that wowed me like the first Amazing Spider-Man movie but it's still a good looking film. The final fight between Spider-Man and Electro has some gorgeous shots but then again it also has Electro using his powers to play Itsy Bitsy Spider sooo....yeah.
So you might be wondering why in the world did I give this movie 3.5 half stars. It surely can't just be because of an amazing looking suit and some solid visuals. Will your right it's not. Carrying this overstuffed mess of a film on their back is Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. They are incredible in the first film and their incredible in this one as well. They are the best romantic relationship we have ever gotten in a Spider-Man movie. Their chemistry is off the charts and every time their on screen together I am so much more invested and entertained. Garfield is in my opinion the best Spider-Man he just unfortunately has the weakest films and material to work with. His quips and one liners in the suit just makes him feel like Spider-Man in a way that Tom and Tobey were never able to achieve for me. He reminds me of the comics or even the insomniac games. His Peter is great to as he's able to do the nerdy side while also still being fun and courageous at times as those are also important traits of what makes Peter Parker who he is. His relationship with May in this film is great too and I think Sally Field is an underrated Aunt May as she does great in this movie as well. Emma Stone is one of my favorite actresses as she's so charismatic and natural which just makes it easy to fall in love with any character she plays. So her and Garfield in this film single handedly lift this films from a 1-2 star rating to a 3.5 star rating.
Now I can't talk about this movie without brining up what in my opinion is a top 10 comic book movie scene of all time. Gwens death scene deserves a 5 star rating on it's own. It gives me chills on every watch and never fails to hit on an emotional level. It's beautifully shot ripping s right out of the comic. And Andrew Garfield's performance in this scene alone showcases how incredible he is. His reaction to Gwens death gets me every time and he's able to make you feel all the things Peter's going through. The sadness, guilt, hopelessness, dread, anger, and more.
I might be higher on this film then most and that could partly be because I grew up on these 2 films. Spider-Man is my second favorite fictional character of all time and these were the first Spidey films I got to see in theaters. I grew up playing with the toys for these movies and rewatching them over and over right along with the Tobey films. So maybe I have some nostalgic bias towards it as I can totally recognize theirs some real bad stuff in this movie. However I really do believe that this film and hell really both of these Marc Webb Amazing Spider-Man movies deserve more credit because if you look through the rubble we got what I genuinely believe are two of the best comic book movie performances in these films with Garfield and Stone who just kill it as these 2 characters that I love and really do feel like their comic book counterparts brought too life.
