Will The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Be A Hit With US Audiences Despite The Critic's Mixed Reaction?

  • 03 May 2014

Finally, US audiences have been able to experience The Amazing Spider-Man 2 this weekend and from the looks of thing its been worth the wait. While Marc Webb’s sequel isn't perfect, it provides all the fun and excitement you’d expect from a big screen Spidey outing and movie-goers seem to agree.

Although early figures suggest that the Amazing Spider-man 2 probably wont be breaking any box office records this weekend it is expected to come out on top of the chart as Captain America: The Winter Soldier's dominance dies down.

So far, critics have given a somewhat mixed response to the superhero blockbuster which stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. Whilst Webb’s directing and the film’s impressive special effects have garnered praise, some have cited an all too busy script as the movie's main failing.

Whilst Spidey’s senses might tingle at the mixed reaction, US audiences are still expected to flock this weekend to catch him swing into action once again. With the summer of blockbusters now firmly underway expect Peter Parker to end up on top once again come Monday.
