Spoilers for Amazing Spider-Man 2

I just don't know how to summarize that movie in a sentence. "Spider-Man for some reason pisses off a lot of people and they kill his girlfriend" is the best I can come up with. I'm struggling to think of an actual plot that the film had. Days of Future Past had a clear act structure, a clear climax, and clear conflict. Just the fact that it has that going for it makes it better by default.

The first encounter with Rhino served no purpose whatsoever, while the first conflict in DoFP showed the audience what the world had turned into, what they're up against, and how they could possibly defeat this threat. The first 20 minutes of Spider-Man was a complete waste of time, while DoFP perfectly set the stage.
