Maybe I should stop reviewing comic book superhero flix, because I’ve lost all patience with the genre. The predictable stories, ho-hum opponents and noisy action all play out in this sequel. Luckily, Andrew Garfield (in the title role) has loads of charisma and charm that makes watching him enjoyable. Toss in his chemistry with Emma Stone and you have a bearable love interest. Other than that, there’s nothing new or special. Another downside of these films is the unnecessary length (2:22 in this case) that includes too much unnecessary drama and villainous posturing. I was never bored, but just tired of the uninspired formula.
