Much of what made "The Amazing Spider-Man" a little underwhelming (retelling Spidey's origin story) is now out of the way with this sequel from director Marc Webb. Andrew Garfield is the best Spider-Man we've seen, nailing all of the web-slinger's mannerisms along with his signature sarcasm. His chemistry with Emma Stone as Gwen Stacey is even more endearing and believable this time around which makes it easy to invest in their characters and relationship. Unfortunately, the script is over-stuffed with characters and subplots which bog down the narrative flow of the film and distract from the really compelling elements. Regardless, this is a funny, exciting, and at times heart-breaking take on the Spider-Man mythos and is worth a look.
