The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014 movie)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a 2014 superhero film. It is a sequel to the reeboted Spider-Man series. This is what I think will happen in the film.

Synopsis
Life is great for Peter Parker. With graduation on the way, he has a bright future ahead of him. However, his life is made more difficult when the love of his life, Gwen Stacy, is up for a scholarship in England. Not wanting to lose her, Peter does everything in his power to stop her from leaving. Meanwhile, Peter's old friend, Harry Osborn, reveals that the multi-billion dollar scientific research company, Oscorp, is not all that it seems. A freak accident in one of Oscorp's genetics labs turns vulnerable Oscorp employee, Max Dillon, into Electro, a glowing blue monster with the power to control electricity. Time is running out for Spider-Man as he risks the lives of the ones he loves to save New York from being reduced to a pile of ashes.

Plot
The film opening coincides with the first film's opening. Richard and Mary Parker leave Peter at Ben and May's house. They manage to organise a flight out of the country. However, an Oscorp spy has infiltrated the plane and kills Mary mid-flight. Richard sacrifices himself by shooting out the planes' windows, causing it to go down.

Present day, Spidey in freefall. He is on his way to his graduation when he spots a large truck bellowing through the streets of New York. He gives chase whilst saving numerous civilians on the way including Max Dillon, a low-level Oscorp employee who considers himself a nobody. The truck is carrying plutonium stolen from Oscorp by Russian mob members to sell in the black market. Spidey manages to stop the truck getting away with the plutonium and ties up the thugs, including Aleksei Sytsevich.

Peter arrives at the graduation, albeit late. As he talks to Gwen he sees a vision of Gwen's dead father, reminding him of his broken promise. After the graduation, Peter meets up with his childhood friend Harry Osborn after hearing the news of Harry's father's death, Norman Osborn. The two soon start getting along again.

Max has become obssessed with Spider-Man. He has posters of the hero all around his room and considers himself Spidey's partner. It's Max's birthday but no one remembers, not even his mother. So Max decides to buy a birthday card and cake for himself. Things go bad when Max loses his tablet on a subway and falls out with his mother. That night, Max is called in to filter Oscorp's tanks containing genetically altered electric eels. Suddenly, he sees sparks falling from the ceiling and investigates. A wire has come loose. Max attempts to reinsert it but instead, he is electrocuted by it. He falls, dragging the wire with him, into one of the eel tanks. They sting him multiple times until the tank shatters. Max's body is found and taken to a morgue.

Gwen becomes suspicious of Oscorp's actions. She sneaks into Oscorp with the help of Peter to find out more about Max's accident, but doesn't find any information.

That night, Max awakens and escapes the morgue in a black hoodie. His skin has turned a glowing blue. Feeling weak, he heads to Times Square where he 'recharges' himself with electircity from a wire. Whilst doing this, he accidently stuns a cop with an electrical shock. The NYPD fill the area and take aim at Max, who causes mass panic in order to defend himself.

Peter and Gwen meet up in Chinatown. Gwen reveals that she is up for a scholarship in Oxford. Peter doesn't want Gwen to go all the way to England when he spots the commotion in Times Square. He swings there as Spidey and sees Max but doesn't remember his name. Angered that his hero forgot his name. Max starts to lose trust in Spidey. Whilst Spider-Man tries to help Max with his problem, Max accidently discharges electricity after stepping into a puddle, forcing a nearby police sniper to shoot him. Max kills the sniper and, feeling that he was lied to by Spidey, goes on an electrical rampage through Times Square before dissapearing in a massive explosion.

Peter remembers that Max works at Oscorp and decides to talk to Harry, who has now become the new CEO of Oscorp, for intel. Instead, Harry reveals that Oscorp have been watching Peter for a long time. Spooked, Peter leaves. Harry investigates into Peter's life and soon finds out that he is in fact Spider-Man. He tells his dying father, who faked his death for unknown reasons, who recalls Richard Parker's work on a 'super-serum' that could have cured Norman's illness. However, Richard's research perished with him in the plane crash. Norman and Harry figure that if Peter is a super-human, perhaps he has a super serum pumping through his blood.

Oscorp hires Aleksei Sytsevich to kill Spidey. Aleksei is put in a mechanical rhino suit powered by plutonium, made by Alistair Smythe, and attempts to kill Spidey. Spidey gains the upper hand, however, and pulls Aleksei out of the suit.

Max has been found in a scrap yard by Ravencroft and is being observed in a container cell. It is revealed that Oscorp set Max up in the eel lab in order to create a weapon to kill Spider-Man. He has had a control chip placed in the side of his head to stop himself overcharging like he did in Times Square.

Peter asks Aunt May if she knows anything about his past in order to investigate Oscorp. May reveals that she knew that Oscorp had been watching them and that they knew something about Richard's death. Peter tracks down Richard's underground lab where a recorded video  of Richard states that Oscorp were going to use Richard's super serum for sinister purposes. So, he injected the only completed serum into Peter when he was a child. The radioactive spider bite must have triggered the serum.

Norman hires Donald Menken, a successful Oscorp scientist, to be the new CEO of Oscorp as he feels that Harry isn't capable enough for the job. Wanting to prove himself to his father, Harry forms a partnership with Max to kill Spider-Man before breaking into Oscorp's secret laborotory which houses Oscorp's plans to kill Spider-Man. Harry kills Menken and then injects himself with a serum that turns him into a monster. He steals a glider and leaves.

Max, now donning himself Electro, challenges Spidey to battle at Oscorp's power plant. This convinces Gwen to stay in New York and not go to England. She tries to help Peter, but he stops her. Spidey and Electro battle at the power plant. Spidey gains the upper hand by yanking Electro's control chip out of his head, causing him to overcharge and disappear.

Harry kidnaps Gwen and takes her to a clock tower near the power plant. Spidey sees this and fights Harry. Harry drops Gwen from a great height but Spidey manages to catch her with a web. Gwen is left haning off the clock tower as Spidey and Harry fight. Soon, Spidey knocks Harry out but the web holding Gwen snaps. Spidey fires another web at her leg but the force of the web stopping her breaks her neck. Distraught, Peter weeps over her dead body. Harry is sent to Ravencroft as the credits roll.

After the credits, the man in the shadows enters Oscorp and opens a multiple doors, one of them containing Norman Osborn's head in a container.
