I don't see how we can't have something to change up the pace occasionally tbh.

You guys know how people like me started to appreciate Spiderman 3 years later in spite of it's flaws, well weirdly I have been feeling the same about TASM2, somewhat. Basically yes the film suffers the same issues 3 had and than some but with a less experienced director at the helm it did not turn out as well and was a bit more of a mess. The attempts to force in a Cinematic universe which was popular at the time for everyone to do were just too blatant and got in the way of the story line and characters and their paths were rushed in and made the plot feel too convoluted and badly paced. I would say for these reasons TASM 2 suffers worse than Spiderman 3 does, however I was surprised how most of the issues I had with it were there from when I first watched and yet I found more to like instead of more to dislike in my rewatch.
One thing that is off from the first Amazing film is the tone being more lighter and campy like the Raimi films were compared to the more serious and grounded tone it had before. Sometimes it even went as far as feeling almost Schumacher-like with Electro in the start which I will admit were going pretty far, but I felt like a lot of it helped Garfield to capture Spidey's more joking side better and speaking of that I love how they did Spidey's abilities here, scenes like the first scene we see him in action along with the first fight against Electro and than the final battle are great and in my opinion, match up to the best of Raimi's trilogy. The film visually looks great even today and while different from the first film's more grounded look I prefer it as it still feels darker and grounded in some areas but also more comic book like without feeling cartoony and shallow like so many MC flicks do. Peter and Gwen's relationship is as great here as it is in the first and they continue to make me both like and care for their characters which helps to make the climax and Gwen's death hit hard like it should, even if it may have felt rushed to have it happen this soon it at least is one of the film's better played out story lines. Unfortunately most of the film's plot lines are either underdeveloped or only there as teasers for future productions that never came to be, as if forcing in characters and events for later does not pay off if you blow your wad too early. At least it's not BVS tier bad but it is still a mess that brings the film down when it could have been far greater, especially in regards to he villains who suffer even worse in development than the ones in 3 did.
I honestly liked what they were going for with Electro overall with him longing to be recognized by others who care enough for him and feeling like Spiderman was that person only for his mental issues combined with his new powers causing him to feel betrayed and lash out. I just wish he got a redemption like so many other villains before him did instead of just getting taken out to presumably feature in future films. Harry suffers as bad here in that he should have at least been talked about before coming into the story as Peter's Friend and his story line of trying to prevent himself from dying should have been better explained because we only know his "Goblin disease" killed his father in his old age, his paranoia felt too rushed and illogical along with his hatred of Spiderman for not helping him when the execs of Osborn's company did more to outright harm him than Spidey ever did. At least the film is entertaining either in spite or even because of the convoluted story lines in that I almost never felt bored so it may have been a wreck but it was fun wreck to watch. Han Zimmer's score here was also better than I remember and felt more like classic film scores than the typical Dark Knight rip offs he seems intent to use over and over nowadays.
Basically this film is the worst example of Sony fucking up their own product due to getting greedy and overly ambitious. If they had chilled out on their attempts to make a "Cinematic Universe" and just let Webb direct his damn movie with only slight hints on what was to come it would have turned out far better. I really do hope Garfield can get his second chance to play the character after NWH and Webb can finish the trilogy he wanted in the first place.

IBO was one of the most boring and wasteful series I ever had to sit through.
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
Another Bible figure I always liked was Ehud and the story of how he killed King Eglon
Before meeting the king, his bodyguards checked Ehud’s left thigh where one usually draws their sword from.
Turns out, Ehud was left-handed and kept his blade hidden on his right thigh which he used to slaughter the king after telling him “He had a message from God for him.”

The aftermath of that incident was particularly gruesome to read, even by biblical standards.
