The above is just one example of how poorly The Amazing Spider-Man 2 handled Electro. When he was first announced as playing the villain, superhero fans could not have been more excited, especially after Jamie Foxx’s stellar performance in Django Unchained.
The actor was appalling here, and that was not helped by the fact that he was saddled with some appalling dialogue. The same goes for Paul Giamatti’s Rhino, and the script as a whole was full of this type of thing.
It’s no surprise that writing partners Roberto Orci and Alexander Kurtzman split after The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was released, and the messy story has resulted in plans for the franchise being put on hold as Sony struggle to come up for an idea about what to do next.
