As with the too-early franchise reboot in 2012, this sequel struggles to balance the demands of a teen romance with a

superhero blockbuster. The interpersonal storylines are sharply written and skilfully played by the gifted cast, but the

eye-catching effects sequences feel like little more than a shiny distraction. Action fans will love the way digitally animated

Spidey swings more realistically than ever down the streets of New York, but the fact remains that these scenes are

cartoons. And a new template is badly needed for this genre.

It kicks off as Peter (Andrew Garfield) nearly misses his high school graduation to save the city from another crazed

nutcase. His girlfriend Gwen (Emma Stone) is fed up, and then crushed when Peter breaks up with her because he's

worried about her safety. So she considers taking a place at Oxford University to get away. Meanwhile, Peter is also trying

to understand the truth about why his parents (Campbell Scott and Embeth Davidtz) left him to be raised by his Aunt May

(Sally Field). But he's interrupted from all of this by the arrival of old pal Harry (Dane DeHaan), back in town to inherit the

family business from his dying dad (Chris Cooper) and in need of moral support from Peter.

In each of these three plot strands, Peter faces a significant dilemma that's beautifully played by Garfield as a cheeky,

good guy who worries about the darkness all around him. And there's also a nefarious side-plot trying to take over the

movie, as nerdy technician Max (Jamie Foxx) is transformed by an electric shock from Spider-man's biggest fan to a

spark-emitting villain called Electro. This shift doesn't make sense on any level, and Harry also has a sudden personality

change that's badly under-explained, forcing the film into a series of huge action showdowns along with a completely

irrelevant aside about two colliding airplanes that feels tacked on to up the human stakes.

The problem is that this mix of personal drama and enormous spectacle is unlikely to truly please anyone. Action fans will

hate dramatic emotional scenes that are cleverly underplayed by Garfield, Stone, Field and DeHaan, while more discerning

filmgoers will grow impatient with the flashy battles and rampant destruction. Of course, this also means that there's

something both audiences can enjoy as well. But is this enough to build anticipation for a third instalment in the saga? Let's

hope gifted filmmaker Marc Webb can come up with a new formula.
