Uh. Okay. So this was pretty awful..and before the regulars get on me, I did not want to hate it. But everything I saw from pics/trailers/plot that I hated turned out to be true. My review is below.
I'm going to give it another shot to solidify my opinion....but I did not think highly of this at all. Andrew Garfield was solid, as was Emma Stone (big shock there). Dane Dehaan gave a pretty good performance as Harry Osborn..or more appropriately Norman (who BTW should've just turned into Hulk-Goblin, he looked just like him in his death bed and I would've preferred that instead lol), but unfortunately all we saw was the "dark" side of Harry, and I didn't believe him & Peter were truly childhood best friends. Once he turns into the Green Goblin (for all 45 seconds we saw of him), he was over-acting. Also HATE that once again Harry gets knocked out from something to end the fight. Wtf. -.- Max Dillion was all kinds god awful- how Jamie Foxx managed to go from Django to this is...wow. Four minutes or not, Rhino was the cheesiest villain since freakin' Bane from B&R. It's a sad day when I can say that WB's Green Lantern had better developed villains than the 5th Spider-Man film. The Action was underwhelming, the plot meanders, and virtually every idea in the film is either half-baked, or the writers must have been baked themselves when they wrote this. How someone can dislike the Raimi films, but like this is way beyond me. This takes everything Raimi's films did (sans the dancing), and just completely amplified it to the 100th degree. Garfield, Stone, and Spidey himself deserve so much better than this.
As of right now, and having had about an hour to think about this, I'd probably give it a 4/10.
I liked Electro and all. But he was NOT the main villain. The plot revolved so much more around Oscorp.
