Upon release, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. Rotten Tomatoes summarizes the consensus, stating: "While the cast is outstanding and the special effects are top-notch, the latest installment of the Spidey saga suffers from an unfocused narrative and an overabundance of characters" . Many reviewers felt that the film was overstuffed, trying to set up too many future sequels and spin-offs (like the Sinister Six ) at the expense of its core story.
