Amazing Spider-Man 2-5/10
Just as I feared. Too much going on, too many characters, and not enough time to flesh anything out. Everything was really rushed. Electro could have been a pretty tragic character, but he turned heel instantly rather than building towards it. Goblin was a waste. Rhino was a hammy acting job. Still love the chemistry between Peter and Gwen. Harry and Peter on the other hand had no chemistry, and trying to get us to buy into them being good friends 8 yrs or so prior to this film flopped. They did not, in fact, learn from the over stuffed Spider-Man 3. I did, however, enjoy the score very much.
GODZILLA-8/10
Loved it. Agree with a lot of the critical comments of not really investing a lot in the films characters, but it's still a really well done Godzilla flick. Well paced, and Godzilla was the fucking man. Love the score, too. Saw they're doing a sequel. Interesting how that's going to work.
