It's way better than the original trilogy ever was, and we get characters acting like, well, characters. It always feels like people are pissed we don't have the ~OMG popular~ villains out in the forefront, or that our hero doesn't spent 99% of the time angsting. :/ The villains are rounded people with actual fucking backstory outside of being the Goblin and Doc Oc.

I have read a lot of scathing reviews of the film, and you're the first person I've seen who's mentioned either of those things, so I don't know where you're getting "always" from.

=( I don't think it's better than the original Raimi trilogy. I actually like all five Spidey films, but I don't think this one is the worst one. I think the third Spidey film will always be the worst one, but a lot of things that made Spider-Man 3 not good, they were there in this new Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Too many villains who on the most basic level seem interesting but we're given almost nothing to work with. Nothing to make us feel invested in seeing them battle Spider-Man. There were too many things going on at once. It's not that I want to see the "popular" villains. It's that none of the villains are anything aside from these guys who are angry with Spider-Man for very weak reasons.
Don't get me wrong. There are things that I really liked in ASM2, like Aunt May and when she tells Peter why she doesn't want him to keep snooping into what happened to his parents. I loved Peter and Gwen. I love Dane DeHaan and I think he did a great job with what was given to him, but I really wished Sony would have had Harry in the first Amazing Spider-Man His character and friendship to Peter felt so tacked on. I liked a lot of the action in the film. As for Electro...I didn't understand why he would grow such a strong hate for Spider-Man so quickly. I understand he felt overlooked his whole life, but it was like blink and you'll miss why Electro decides that he hates Spider-Man. I also thought it wasn't a wise idea to make Max Dillon a total loser super dork. It seemed to suck out any interest in him as a character worth understanding and taking serious, even in the context of the film's universe.
Again, I don't hate the film, but I had a lot of issues with it.

Yeah, it's clear they want to get to the sinister six, and they are making the same mistakes that fucked it up last time, obviously having learned nothing after all. They took two movies and shoved them into one.

I liked ASM2, but it does feel like we've seen it all before. And while Peter/Gwen had really good chemistry, it wasn't enough for me to lift the overall storyline. And I still LOVE Raimi's Spider-man 2. IMO, ASM2 is better than ASM1, but doesn't touch Spider-man 2.

I was turned off of the first of these reboots because the 'new' Spidey seemed to do nothing *but* angst, lumping around in his dark hoodie being emo.

Umm are you trying to tell me that Alfred Molina's Doc Ock WASN'T a well rounded villain? He was lightyears ahead of anything that the reboot has had to offer. I'm also still pissed that they managed to wreck The Lizard by turning him into a stereotypical mad scientist and writing his family out entirely. While I'll admit that Andrew Garfield may be an improvement on Maguire, Raimi did the villains way more justice.
