- TriviaThe humorously hateful news boss J. Jonah Jameson, one of the most iconic characters in Spider-Man's mythos, was never mentioned in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012). In this sequel he is spoken of frequently but never appears. The producers claimed they could not find an actor to measure up to J.K. Simmons' legendary portrayal of this character in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films. Stan Lee, the writer who came up with the idea for these characters and makes cameo appearances in all the films, has often said he would volunteer to play Jameson if he (Lee) were 30 or 40 years younger. Ironically, when casting Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019), they could still think of no one better than Simmons, so he resumed his role as Jameson.
- Goofs(at around 41 mins) When Harry Osborn and Peter Parker are walking though the park, the camera crew and boom are reflected in Harry's mirrored sunglasses.

Featured review
"A Web of Overambition"
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 aimed to expand the universe established in its predecessor but ultimately became entangled in its own web of complexity.
The film continued to explore Peter Parker's (Andrew Garfield) personal struggles, delving deeper into his relationship with Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). Their chemistry remained a highlight, and the film's emotional core was undeniably strong.
The introduction of multiple villains proved to be a misstep. Electro (Jamie Foxx), while visually striking, lacked depth, and his character arc felt rushed. Harry Osborn's (Dane DeHaan) transformation into the Green Goblin was foreshadowed but executed hastily, depriving the villain of a compelling backstory.
The film hinted at a larger Sinister Six plot with the appearance of Rhino and a tease of other villains. However, this setup felt rushed and overshadowed the core narrative.
The film's action sequences were visually impressive, and the web-slinging sequences continued to be a standout. However, the pacing was uneven, with some scenes feeling drawn out while others rushed.
The tragic climax involving Gwen Stacy was undoubtedly heartbreaking, but it also felt manipulative and predictable. While it served as a significant turning point for Peter Parker, it overshadowed other elements of the film.
Despite these flaws, the film showcased impressive action sequences, particularly the electric-charged battles involving Electro. The chemistry between Garfield and Stone remained a highlight, and their performances elevated the film's emotional impact.
Ultimately, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a victim of its own ambition. While it offered some thrilling moments, the overstuffed plot and underdeveloped villains hindered its overall potential. The tragic death of Gwen Stacy, though heartbreaking, felt like a forced climax that overshadowed the rest of the film.
