Not even the talents of Oscar winner Jamie Foxx were able to elevate the thinly-written supervillain Electro in the worst Spider-Man movie to date.

Foxx is woefully miscast as creepy weirdo Maxwell Dillon, playing the part as far too hyperactive and irritating to be particularly sympathetic, and things only get worse once he actually becomes Electro.

Yes, the material is very, very bad for the most part, but even so, Foxx misjudges the tone of the material and fails to make the villain even passably amusing. Worse than anything, he's incredibly boring, and it's insane that an actor as charismatic as Foxx could get it so, so wrong.
