It’s easy enough to pretend that the 30something Garfield isn’t too old to be playing the teenaged Peter, or that that scene, and a few others, don’t demonstrate more emotional maturity than we should expect from a 17-year-old boy. Sorry, Spidey: you’re just not that amazing anymore. This feels like a campy Saturday-morning cartoon left over from the 1970s, and not the smart, relevant science-fiction action drama the genre has matured into on the big screen. This looks like a throwback to a time when comic book movies were kiddie stuff and nothing else. Except now we’ve had two more years of cogent, witty Avengers flicks, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suffers badly by comparison.

Two years on from the first pointless reboot of the Spider-Man story - a mere five years after the previous version had wrapped up - the pointless sequel has arrived. Watch The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Movie Online.
