United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Redundancy remains a problem, but this overlong superhero sequel gets by on sound, fury and star chemistry."	NEU
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"The plot gets itself tangled up in multiple villain strands, but in the main this installment is emotionally weightier and more satisfying than its predecessor."	NEU
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"Webb's film is bold and bright and possesses charm in abundance. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"A sequel that, until a late, lamentably foolish turn, balances blockbuster bombast with human-scale drama, child-friendly comedy and gushers of tears."	NEU
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"Folks, I confess: I'm coping with a mild case of arachno-apatha-phobia, defined as the fear of another so-so 'Spider-Man' sequel. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Aerial sequences are often thrilling. However, interpersonal relations are front and center in this installment. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"[It] is overlong, underwhelming, unnecessary and sure to be a hot ticket. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"Marc Webb (...) again shows a better feel for the relationships than he does for juggling all the overlapping story elements. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Mark Adams Screendaily	"An enjoyable (...) adventure romp."	POS
United Kingdom	Emma Dibdin Total Film	"Bright, punchy and earnest, Webb’s affable sequel is tough to dislike despite its tonal whiplash and clumsy script, which is redeemed by Garfield, Stone and DeHaan’s powerhouse trio. Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
