"The second installment of the Spider-Man story, directed by Marc Webb and expanding on the protagonist's relationship with his family, civilian life and love for Gwen Stacy. While Jamie Foxx's villian lacks depth, the special effects for Electro are breathtaking, not to mention the fight scene in Times Square. However, with too many themes and a lack of focus, the movie is lost. Even so, despite its flaws, it still does justice to the superhero's mythology."
