Between the glitz and glam, the fiery special effects, the villains and quite a handful of hints at future projects, The Amazing Spider-man 2 is an incredible film that transcends the super hero genre. Spiderman's narrative of love and loss is what really carries the film more so than the action and that is in no means a bad thing. The movie deals heavily with the grief peter feels over never seeing his parents again, over Gwen Stacy's father and the promise that he made him and a major tragedy that befalls our hero but what really is a key moment in this film is when Aunt May, portrayed by Sally Field, offers her own bit of comfort by explaining how to handle a grief that a young peter couldn't understand. This movie is about hope and set against many super hero films before it, Spider-man 2 is refreshing. You're actually beginning to witness the benefit of well rounded and fleshed out characters and they suddenly feel much more relatable. I have no doubt in my mind that this franchise will not only continue to draw a line for well done super hero films but, continue forward in an even more amazing series
