The beauty is dead, will the hero be reborn from the ashes?

The impression of the old version of Spider-Man seems to have been blurred, and the "The Amazing Spider-Man" series was born 2 years ago. More modern special effects and sophisticated production, closer to the young and handsome male protagonist and the beautiful stone sister. I've been deeply fascinated by this Marvel blockbuster.

In the first part, it has been explained how the male protagonist transforms into a Spider-Man with superpowers, kills Dr. Lizard without bloodshed, and also captures the hearts of beautiful classmates. At the beginning of the second part, Spider-Man shuttles through the city's high-rise buildings, punishing criminals who the police can't handle, with a light-hearted rhythm and some small humor inherent in American blockbusters. However, behind the seemingly innocuous plot, there is a huge crisis. The emergence of these crises has some origins with Spider-Man itself.

The Electric Man was originally a little engineer of the Osborn Group. No one remembered his name. He was a pure diaosi. Spider-Man saved his life while catching a criminal and called out his name. For this, he was very excited. He didn't expect that this city hero would still care about his small company employee. It is because of an accident that he thinks he has turned into a monster and been tricked by Spider-Man. The hope in the heart is shattered, and the superpower becomes a disaster for the city.

After that, his friend, the little boss, also thought that Spider-Man deceived him, and his hope of friendship and survival was destroyed, so he used the electric man to embark on the road of revenge. The two villains in the film are normal people with good hopes, but they are hurt by hope. Just like the heroine's speech at the graduation ceremony, it also emphasized the meaning of hope. As for Spider-Man, the thing he had been afraid of finally failed to escape, and the heroine left with regret. The beautiful world he used to live in suddenly turned desperate. But he couldn't give up because he was the city's hope.

The biggest highlight of the film is undoubtedly the shocking scene of the battle between Electron and Spider-Man. The highly impactful subjective perspective and the grand objective perspective are alternately presented, making people excited, as if riding a roller coaster, thrilling and exciting. The spectacle of power outages and electricity throughout New York City is also quite realistic. I have to admire the ingenuity of Marvel blockbusters in special effects production. The final villain equipment is skipped one by one, and the design of the character equipment also has its own characteristics. Including his discovery of the secret of his father's experiments, these are all suspenseful.

Easy beginning, sad ending, Spider-Man lost his favorite girlfriend, and the lovely Sister Stone bid farewell to the audience like this, which is really a pity. Tribulations seem to be teaching Spider-Man to grow up. Reborn from the ashes, looking forward to the next one!
