Rhino was wasted, he was exactly as I figured. All those clips you see with Rhino/Paul Giamatti are right at the beginning of the movie and right at the end of the movie. When he spins the sewer covers and hits Rhino in the side of the head thats the last shot.

It took a bit for the villains to catch their stride but I liked Dane Dehaan as Green Goblin/Harry and I liked Electro, I don't know what the critics are really talking about. Electro has the best action scenes in the movie with the Times Square scene and the Power Plant scene towards the end. In the Times Square scene he hears voices and metal music as he shreds the entire place, it's a pretty badass way to introduce his psychotic side instead of the Lizard just hearing an evil side. I really loved the power plant scene how it goes from Electro fight directly in Green Goblin fight. BUT Green Goblin just gets his ass kicked really quickly, the worst thing he does is nab Gwen Stacy. And speaking of that scene.... scroll down if you want to be spoiled...




















































She dies. Painfully too. She falls and Spidey catches her by the chest with his webbing but when her head snaps back it still hits the floor even though he caught her body right before she hit the ground so in a way it's similar to the comics but with a cool twist. But the sound that it makes when her head snaps back and hits the ground..... OUCH. Painful sound. Also after that it follows the predictable ending from the first one. Gwen's graduation speech "inspires" him to continue being Spiderman... kinda lame. And how the hell did Harry look all badass and Goblin in the final fight and then look normal in Ravencroft? Explain that one to me, seems the Spider Venom would've deformed him forever.

Then the Rhino end scene, like Rhino would just stop for Spiderman to talk to the kid, and as if a ton of bystanders would be just sitting behind a police barrier as machine guns and rockets are fired 100 feet away from them.

Spoiler!

Giamatti talked about this long ago. He said that his appearance was really just a cameo and to set up for being featured in the future.

Have to see the Gwen scene again, but all the clock parts falling would have done her in anyway- somehow they magically never fall all the way to the ground?
