Jamie Foxx is a gifted actor, yet subtlety is not a strength of his. Cue his performance as Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, a villainous turn more akin to his sketch comedy work where stereotype rules and a "swing big" mentality trumps smart acting decisions.

Whether rocking a dated Revenge of the Nerds shtick or husky voiced approached to super villainy that belongs in a Joel Schumacher Batman movie, Foxx indeed proves to be the weakest link in a film filled with many.
