FILM REVIEW

Peter Parker's father Richard (Campbell Scott) was a scientist working on a secret project. While Peter was a child, Peter's parents were attacked on a plane killing them but not before he was able to upload a computer file. Peter (Andrew Garfield) and Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) are graduating from high school. However it's getting too dangerous and he breaks up with her. Max Dillon (Jamie Foxx) is a lowly electrical engineer working at Oscorp. He gets electrocuted and bitten by an electric eel becoming Electro. Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) returns home to take over from his dying father as CEO of Oscorp and eventually becomes Green Goblin. Felicia (Felicity Jones) was his father's assistant and now is Harry's. Donald Menken (Colm Feore) is Oscorp vice-president. At the end, Russian gangster Aleksei Sytsevich (Paul Giamatti) is turned into Rhino.

Everything is so choppy. It's like the movie needed to hit so many specific plot points. The movie has no flow. The plot developments keep coming and coming without letting the characters breathe. The best part by far is the chemistry between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. The movie is better every time they are together on the screen. Without them, I would definitely fail this because this is generally a mess. Jamie Foxx is being a ridiculous cartoon as Max Dillon. As Electro, he's much better. Dane DeHaan is very good but Green Goblin is completely rushed. Again the movie is jamming so much into this. Also I don't know why people keep hanging around to watch as chaos ensues. Electro is wrecking Time Square and people are gathered around to cheer like it's New Year's Eve. There are so many ideas going on like Peter's parents and corporate intrigue. There is enough material for two movies and would probably be better as that.
