Media AS Summer Work- The Amazing Spider-Man 2
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Movie Review
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a film which brings a different
element this time. The genre of this film is an action adventure. Although there
are many different versions and squeals to Spiderman; it draws the audience in
with the sense of adventure conveyed. Spiderman is originally based on Peter
Parker and his internal battles to the double life he leads. A life which is
situated onto a being lead as a normal teenager trying to graduate high school.
Another life which is dedicated into saving the innocent people of his city. We
are presented with how Peter Parker hides his true identity to prevent being
exposed to the enemies and villains. The struggle he faces when memories of
parents; moreover his father. After he stumbles across his father’s
discoveries. His emotions are mixed as he is confused about his new found
spider like abilities. The target audience for this film is targeted at the
suitable age limit which is 12A. Indicating that this film contains mild language
and intimacy and is only suitable for people which are 12 and over. However the
target audience is mostly directed at people who enjoy suspense and the action.
Although this film is based on Peter Parker and his journey
into being a hero; we return back to the different element included into the
film. This is the return of Peter’s old friend Harry Osborne. However Harry is dying
and Peter must make decision whether or not to help him. The tension rises as
an unexpected tragedy occurs. Peter Parker only trusts one person with his
secret- Gwen Stacy. Together the two are spiralled into a journey filled with
heart-warming moments and danger. Throughout the film, there is a consistent
use of long shots. This shows the character is distanced away from the camera. We
are able to take in the surroundings around the character. Examples are of
Spiderman swinging throughout the city. The use of medium shots indicates
people coming together and intimacy. The use of close up shots were focused on
certain things. All of these shots show great detail; making the film seem like
a reality. Overall The Amazing Spiderman 2 is an amazing film which exceeds the
audience’s expectation. Based on upon the exceptional hard work and filming to
create an exciting, new and adventurous film.
