I initially didn't like this movie's premise when it was out in theaters, but glad I watched it now. That's why I liked SM3 and this movie's villains. I liked that there was depth to this movie, the same with Spider-Man 3, having more than one plot or more than one villain is not a bad thing. Elektro and Sandman were at least fun to watch. In fact, him and Elektro has the same air as Venom and Sand-man in SM3. The way he appears is so anti-climatic compared to Spider-Man 3, where he became a good guy and did more for Spider-Man than here. He had the 90s emo to it, the modern Harry has that poseur new emo thing to it. Yes, the original Harry was rich and spoiled as well, but not overly sour with it. This movie's Harry Osborne didn't feel like that. To be both Peter's best friend and boost to Spider-Man's character. I think James Franco's Harry was much more the anti-villain/anti-hero he needed to be. Just sort of shows up, with both his introduction and the fight.

I felt Harry Osborne was rushed in to fill up the movie with villains (doing the same thing Spider-Man 3 did), felt like he had no reason to be in this movie when he was not even introduced in ASM1. Many heroes and villains like to use this power, as Tanor does, but every one of them uses it differently from each other in some way. I'm astraphiliac, so I love lightning and villains that gives this element some dimensional use. This fight with Spiderman was one of the highest points of the movie.

One reason is Elektro reminds me of The Beast and evil Cole MacGrath from the inFamous series. Very dark story and fights, interesting characters.
