Critics Consensus

While the cast is outstanding and the special effects are top-notch, the latest installment of the Spidey saga suffers from an unfocused narrative and an overabundance of characters.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

It's fun. It's still 142 minutes long, which it doesn't need to be.

The Atlantic

Over-stuffed with plot and consequently struggles to invest the audience in any of it, since there's so much to get through and so many future films and spinoffs to set up.

Flavorwire

'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' will certainly make a bazillion dollars, but after you sit through it - all 142 minutes of it - it's very hard to work up a compelling reason that it needed to exist, aside from the aforementioned bazillion dollars.

EscribiendoCine

While it doesn't attempt anything new (or incredible, or surprising), The Amazing Spider-Man 2 reaffirms the formula with Webb's solid direction and a couple of protagonists that look infinitely more comfortable in their roles. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 6/10

The Wolfman Cometh

Despite the charm and chemistry between the two leads, this attempt to reinvent the series fails to ever justify its own existence.

Rated: 2/5

Keith & the Movies

Several of the film’s components work really well while others drag the film down or hinder the storytelling. Perhaps the biggest problem is that the movie tries to cram in too much story and too many characters.

Rated: 2/5

Andrew Garfield is Spiderman, the movie sadly doesn’t always back up his acting. But his acting, along side Sally Field and Emma Stone backs up the rest of the plot and any issues the film presents.
