Here are a bunch of exit reaction tweets from the first U.K. screening of The Amazing Spider-Man 2:
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2: Terrible. Not so much a movie as a bunch of scenes, almost none of which are any good.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is better than The Amazing Spider-Man.

Really enjoyed Amazing Spider-Man 2. But make no mistake the real star of the show is Peter Parker. Spidey definitely plays second fiddle

Spider-Man 2 is ridiculously amazing! And proves my theory that you should never trust a man with a side parting #SpiderMan

The Amazing #SpiderMan 2 truly “Amazing”. Will do for Spidey what Skyfall did for Bond. @SonyPicturesUK pic.twitter.com/czTIpJWOAJ

Amazing Spider-Man 2 was almost amazing. Far too much Avengers style world building and tone is all over the place but still V good

It’s a touch too long, but The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is still a strong sequel that delivers on spectacle and emotion.

Really enjoyed The Amazing #SpiderMan 2. Andrew Garfield is fantastic. The closest comic book to screen Spidey so far.

The Amazing #SpiderMan 2 is so funny, so moving, and the chemistry between Peter and Gwen is incredible. Go see it!

Amazing #Spiderman 2 is amazing. A couple of things annoyed the Spider-Man nerd in me but I loved it. Loved what they did with Harry Osborn

Overall, those tweets seem pretty positive but then there’s that one tweet from a writer on The Playlist which combines all our worst fears.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens May 2 in the U.S. and April 16 in the U.K. Here’s the official plot description:
It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.
