The Amazing Spider-Man 2 PG-13
Looking forward to his high school graduation, Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) hungers to spend more time with girlfriend Gwen (Emma Stone), but worries he won’t be able to protect her from the powerful villains looking to rid Manhattan of Peter’s alter ego Spider-Man. Jamie Foxx is electrifying as Electro, a villain created by an industrial accident during an experiment on electric eels. Peter’s old pal Harry Osborn (Dane Dehaan) is transformed into the hate-mongering Green Goblin, while Paul Giamatti is smashing wearing a metal suite for his role as cranky super-villain Rhino. (Lisa Miller)
