What to Know

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.

Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's fun. It's still 142 minutes long, which it doesn't need to be. Sep 9, 2024 Full Review David Sims 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. Sep 22, 2016 Full Review Jason Bailey 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. Jun 18, 2016 Full Review Benjamín Harguindey 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 Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh 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 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) While The Amazing Spider-Man 2 isn’t that much of an improvement over its predecessor, Jamie Foxx’s Electro (and the craft that accompanied it) was a big boost over how the first film used its villain.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Mr. Hollywood What a bloated mess. The first didnt justify its existence and this one thinks by adding more and more storylines itll hide that fact. It doesnt. And to top it all off the mystery about Parkers parents ends with a thats it? Boeing unoriginal Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review TIM C Best ensemble of all Spiderman installments well acted & humanistic portrayal of the superhero complex. Arguably, the best Spiderman movie of all time, has Academy Award recognition 10 years ago. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
