Thoughts
If you liked the first Amazing Spider-Man, you will like this one. The plot is a little weak but Garfield and Stone play amazing roles. This film doesn't take itself as serious as other Spider-Man series. If you like Marvel Superheros, a definite must see.

Plot
When New York is put under siege by Oscorp, Spider-Man must step up to save the city and his loved ones he swore to protect.
