I read a film review criticizing the Amazing Spider-Man 2, pointing out how Sony is attempting to create a whole new Spider-Man movie universe with the new reboot series, and to be honest, I agree with him. I haven't seen the sequel yet, but I'm not planning to. I liked the idea of a reboot Spider-Man movie at first, but later on, I realized how bad it was in contrast to the Spidey movies directed by Raimi. The reboot seems more villain-centered, with the writers trying to make a mysterious connection between Spidey and some weird villain, kind of like Ultimate Spider-Man. The designs aren't great either, starting with Spidey's costume and the Lizard in the first movie. It comes to the realization that directors are doing this garbage as inspiration from the Avengers, which is one of my favorite movies, even though they made an announcement about making a Spidey reboot 2 years earlier before the Avengers' release. That's the thing about reboots, they try to start fresh but always in a wrong direction. I know the reboot for Planet of the Apes turned out pretty spectacular and even Godzilla will be extremely promising.

But this is only my opinion. Feel free to express what you think whether you've seen the sequel or not.
