action
In a flashback, Mary and Richard Parker, Peter Parker's parents, find themselves on a plane, fleeing from an undetermined enemy. On the flight, a man kills the pilot, causing the plane to crash. Before he can parachute to safety, he tries to kill Mary and Richard, but is pushed off the plane by Richard. Before the plane crashes, Richard manages to upload important information to an unknown location using the code word “Roosevelt”.
Peter Parker aka Spider-Man is busy as New York's beloved hero. He stops a plutonium theft from criminal Alexei Sychevich and almost misses his own high school graduation ceremony, where his girlfriend Gwen Stacy gives the graduation speech. Both fight to reconcile Peter's double life and their love for one another, which is overshadowed by Peter's feelings of guilt because he promised Gwen's father, who was killed in Part 1, not to put them in danger. While Gwen is doing an internship at the industrial giant Oscorp, Peter saves the life of the unstable Oscorp electrician Max Dillon, who is now obsessed with Spider-Man.
In the meantime, the Oscorp patriarch Norman Osborn dies of an incurable disease. Shortly before death, he revealed to his son Harry that he would soon die of the same disease and bequeathed all of his research to him. Peter goes to his old school friend Harry and comforts him.
In an accident at work, Max Dillon falls into a tank of mutated electric eels , transforms into the living Blitz Electro and involuntarily lays Times Square to rubble and ashes, so that Spider-Man has to overpower him. Electro is arrested and his admiration for Spider-Man turns into hatred. Electro is imprisoned at the private Ravencroft Institute and used by the sadistic Dr. Kafka investigates.
Peter's investigation into his missing parents leads him to an abandoned subway station called Roosevelt, where Richard Parker left his legacy to his son. Peter learns that Oscorp is creating illegal human-animal chimeras : Norman Osborn wanted to cure his illness in this way. These hybrid beings include a. Dillon's electric eels and the spider that gave Peter his Spider-Man superpowers. Peter learns that his parents left him to protect him; Richard Parker realized that Oscorp made biological weapons , which he could not reconcile with his conscience, and knew that Norman Osborn would rather kill him than let go. Peter also learns that the spider chimera is based on Richard Parker's genetic makeup and therefore only works flawlessly with his blood relatives.
Harry meanwhile learns that Spider-Man was bitten by an Oscorp spider and believes it is his last chance to survive. However, after the events of Part 1, all of these spiders were killed to cover up the activities. So he asks Spider-Man for a blood donation , which the latter refuses because of the uncertain consequences, much to Harry's anger. Harry then frees Electro; In return, Electro gives Harry access to a secret laboratory in the Oscorp building. There Harry finds the spider poison and injects it into himself. There are serious complications when taking it, as Harry's body does not tolerate the Parker-based serum. He goes insane and becomes a mad green goblin .
Meanwhile, Electro cuts the power off all of New York and attacks Spider-Man. With Gwen's help, the latter can defeat Electro. Then Green Goblin shows up, who concludes that Peter and Spider-Man are the same person, and kidnaps Gwen. In a battle inside a clock tower, Spider-Man defeats Green Goblin, but Gwen falls into the depths. Spider-Man still manages to catch her with his net beam immediately before hitting the ground, but she breaks her neck and dies anyway. After Gwen's funeral, Peter sinks into grief and gives up Spider-Man for five months, after which the city sinks into crime. When Peter watches Gwen's closing speech, he finally realizes that Spider-Man is giving hope to all of New York.
Harry is meanwhile trapped in the Ravencroft Institute, but initiates the building of an army from the prison cell with the help of a middleman. The first volunteer is Alexei Sychevich, who, freed from prison by Harry, is equipped with an exoskeleton and threatens New York as the super villain Rhino . Spider-Man returns and attacks Rhino. The film ends with the fight between the two.
background
Filming began on February 4 and ended on June 25, 2013. The film was shot entirely in New York City and was also the largest film production to date in the city. The shooting dates in Brooklyn during Passover were criticized, but were later postponed with the agreement of the city.
Spider-Man inventor Stan Lee made a cameo as a visitor to Gwen and Peter's high school graduation.
Actress Shailene Woodley was supposed to play the role of Mary Jane in the film. After filming was completed, however, all of her recordings were cut from the film. Director Marc Webb justified this as a creative decision to streamline the film and put the focus on Gwen.
The film grossed over $ 709 million at box offices worldwide on a budget of $ 255 million.
Film and comic
- The figure Electro was based on the appearance of the comics from The Ultimate Spider-Man , from which, among other things, the blue skin twitched by electrical tension comes. The classic electro, which first appeared in the 1964 comic book Amazing Spider-Man # 9 , is not African American and always keeps its normal appearance. He is also wearing a yellow-green costume with a lightning mask.
- The figure of the Green Goblin was already used in the film adaptation from 2002 , this time it is not Norman Osborn, but his son Harry who assumes this identity: In the first comic series, Norman Osborn becomes the Green Goblin in 1964, Harry Osborn becomes the year 1974 his successor. In most other comic series, too, everything usually starts with Norman and is continued by Harry.
- In the scene in which Gwen Stacy falls to her death, the time 1:21 can be seen on the clock tower . This is a reference to The Amazing Spider-Man issue # 121, which is about Gwen's death. Gwen's Fate is also intended as a tribute to Gerry Conway's two issues # 121-122 (June and July 1973) .
- Dillon's boss is called Alistair Smythe, who is the super villain Spider-Slayer in the comics .
- The name of Harry Osborn's secretary is Felicia. In the comics, whether it's the actual Marvel universe or reinterpretations, there is a character named Felicia Hardy who becomes the master thief Black Cat .
- The Ravencroft Institute supervillain psychiatry is also featured in the film by a person named Dr. Kafka headed. However, the original character is feminine and with integrity, while the film version is masculine and criminal.
- As in The Ultimate Spider-Man, Rhino wears high-tech armor, which, in contrast to these comics, is more reminiscent of a mech - a mechanical vehicle - than a combat suit. The original character from the main comic series is not a little bug, but a muscular giant who became the victim of a voluntary experiment to increase strength. As a result, this "second skin" fused with its wearer, giving him superhuman strength and enormous resilience, but driving him insane.
- In the Oscorp secret laboratory, the arms of Dr. See Octopus and the Vulture's Wings , two other enemies of Spider-Man.
- The ringtone on Peter Parker's mobile phone is the theme song for the Spider-Man cartoon series , which ran from 1967 to 1970.

reception
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 received rather positive feedback for a blockbuster, but it was not free from criticism. Cinema praised director Marc Webb for making use of the freedom of a sequel in this film with relish. They summed up a "visually and trick-technically successful comic film adaptation" which brings "many surprises, but unfortunately also some lengths" with it.
The film service found that the sequel entertains "with good actors and spectacular 3D action". However, "the film overloads the plot so much that the narrative threads threaten to stifle each other."
