You really have to marvel at the audacity Sony had back when they were making The Amazing Spider-Man 2. They'd already unveiled plans for their Spider-Man universe as an answer to the MCU and they were beginning to announce movies for it. Sadly, they also seemingly saw this sequel as an opportunity to seed those movies rather than focusing primarily on making a good Spider-Man movie.

The sequel is not entirely irredeemable (and nor is the performance by Jamie Foxx as Electro that gets WAY too much hate), but it struggles for exactly the same reasons that Raimi's Spider-Man 3 was counted as such a failure (ridiculous as that is to think now). It had too many villains, too much unnecessary plot and the ending was a let-down.

Ultimately, this was the movie that gave us the MCU Spider-Man, so we should be thankful, but it was still a major missed opportunity for Sony.
