Pardew Review Rating: 7/10
The general consensus of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is that it is sub-par. I would have to agree. Spider-Man was always my favorite super hero. So I am somewhat disappointed, but there are still some spectacular scenes that will keep me a fan. The standoff with Electro was was absolutely electrifying to see ;).
By the way, and this is important; if you wait until the end of the credits for a rumored sneak peek of X-Men or bonus footage for the next Spider-Man you may be disappointed. Depending on where you are, the scene may not be there. Instead they want you to pull out your phone during the credits and use the app Shazam. By "Shazaming" the song that plays during the credits you will be able to access the bonus material on your phone.
The thing that I like about Spider-Man is that he is not the perfect hero. Spider-Man makes mistakes and has to learn from them. This lack of perfection makes it so that he is unable to save everyone all the time.
Nearly every comic book super hero has to deal with the death of a family member. The difference is that these other super hero's do not become hero's until much later in their lives. Peter Parker on the other hand is becoming a super hero at a younger age. People he cares about die while he is a super hero causing him to question who he is, or what he is trying to become. Even with his biggest downfalls and his greatest losses, he is able to pick himself back up, learn from all of it and become a better hero.
I think that most everyone wants to do something great in their lives. Leave their mark on the world. Having ambition is a great thing. In all the efforts that you may have to be a great somebody, you might trip a time or two. You might find yourself in an emotional free-fall. You may start questioning who you are and what you are trying to become. It's okay to go through all that. Every time you pick yourself back up, kick the dust off your shoes and push forward towards your own personal greatness, you gain a better sense of who you are and who you are going to become. With that, you are on your way.
