Jamie Foxx's 'Electro' Gets The Spotlight In New THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Featurette

It's about time. I feel like they haven't been promoting this movie very much.

@themidnightking

The movie overall wasn't good. One too many subplots and forced storylines. There was no balance in this movie. Electro was pretty much shoehorned into this movie. Rhino was forgettable.

^ that's quite a pile of shit indeed!

i will see tasm2 anyway. it can't be as predictable as the 1st one

Yeah it wasn't complete shit but it wasn't very good either. The score when Electro is in Times Square is laughable ("They shot at me, they lied to me..."), as is his motivation. This movie seems like the result of one of those "too many chefs in the kitchen" scenarios that plague tentpole films. The best part of the movie was the third act. ALSO this movie suffers from Dark Knight Rises syndrome where Spiderman is absent for a lot of the film.

I will admit, I liked Dane DeHann's performance as Harry, just not as Goblin

@midnight : which SM movie would you say it can compare ? (quality-wise)

@JimmyCorrigan
Honestly, I would compare it to Spider-Man 3 due to the forced subplots and villains.

"He's an amazing villain."

Pun intended, Andrew? Well, he certainly looked amazing. Just a pity he was so goofy otherwise.

I still think it's better than WS. Character development for Spidey and Gwen is all there. This movie was just a setup for things to come which I did find cool and different.

I only real gripe I had with the movie is the music. Was pretty bad. Kids will like this movie. Glad they some what clered up things about the parents though all of that could have been done in the first flick and would have had more room to do what they wanted in this one. Dehaan was great as Harry. Better than Franco and we better get a lot of drama between him and Parker after the way they ended that fight. This movie is somewhat of a mess but I laughed out loud at some parts and the movements for spidey and the way he's portrayed physically is what I think fans of spidey have always wanted.

People on this site need to learn the meaning of a LOT of words, "shoehorned" being one of them. You know when you're reading a comic and Spidey is fighting a lower league villain at the start for only a few panels, that has nothing to do with the rest of the story but still shows him going about his daily superheroic life?

THAT WAS WHAT RHINO WAS FOR IN THIS. He's not MEANT to be one of the main villains at all (never mind what the marketing people do, they always have different intentions than the film makers)

Yes Goblin's suiting up was quick, but Harry had been pretty well developed throughout the film, so it was only the Goblin element that felt rushed.

"What was the point of having Alistair Smythe and Felicia Hardy Hardy in the movie" you colossal idiot, what did you want, Spider slayers and Black Cat TOO? No, they put them in there as smaller roles to set up future movies. They could have just as easily been throwaway characters but no, Webb decided to put these characters in for potential in the future.

I swear, this film has genuine flaws i'll grant you, but it's still a great, fun film. Most of the other flaws people come up with are the stupidest, most nitpicky shite I've ever seen.

@JaySin420 What??? I thought that was ingenious as well as the ring tone.

@TheSonicScrew. Right? It was awesome and the sound made by the electricity was very Starwaresque (those space mines) and cool.

Goblin sang Itsy Bitsy Spider in the first film. Why does no one remember that. Yet they bash this movie for having it.
