I liked Garfield in this one more than I did in the first, I felt he was way too cocky in the first one. Too much banter in his crime fighting for my taste, though there was some of that in this one as well. I know he is supposed to be a playful super hero, just sometimes I could do with less.
Other than the fact they killed off Gwen Stacy I was a fan of this movie. I am sure they had to do it as poor Peter can never have a successful love interest, just sucks, I really liked her in that role.
