There is no sexual content, nudity, or explicit behavior; only a few brief, romantic kisses between Peter and Gwen are shown.

The film features moderate, frequent action violence. While there is no gore, scenes include intense electrocution, a high-altitude plane crash, gunfights, and a final battle involving a clock tower that results in a character's death.

Language is mild, with occasional uses of 'hell,' 'damn,' 'piss,' and a single usage of the 'f-word,' alongside infrequent misuses of the deity's name.

Substance use is mild and mostly limited to social drinking of wine by Harry Osborn and references to experimental 'spider drugs' used for medical purposes.

The film explores heavy themes of grief, parental abandonment, terminal illness, and the moral burden of protecting loved ones, which may be emotionally taxing for some viewers.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 runs 141 minutes, directed by Marc Webb, released in 2014.
