That was fine with me. It was quite comicbook-y.

Hence why I didn't say it was the best shot.

I love the over-emphasis on the word "amazing" throughout the film. :D

Was this movie really real? I mean seriously? It does for Spider-Man what Batman & Robin did for Batman. It was just terrible. I felt so bad for Jamie Foxx, especially in the pre-Electro scenes. It was embarrassing. The saving grace is (obviously) Garfield and Stone who have such perfect chemistry. Without them this would be a total disaster. I am sure the third one will be even worse without Stone, honestly. I can't imagine it working.

It's not very good, however I could watch Stone and Garfield for hours.

Too bad we don't live in an age where special effects are cheap because I'd love to see a movie where the focus is not on Electro, Green Goblin and all the other shit. I mean, instead of a superhero flick with a dash of romance, I'd like to see a romantic drama with a dash of superhero- meaning to say, the action bits are brief and such and are more obstacles than the plot.

Maybe that's Webb's strong point. After all, he did 500 Days of Summer. The chemistry between the leads of course helps.

Otherwise, the script is weak. Electro and the Goblin have farcical origin stories. DeHaan does alright in the little he gets to play with and I'm surprised Foxx took this really laughable role as Electro...unless these are actually origin stories from the comics...then I'd say not everything needs to be adapted as is from them.

That sums up my feelings about the film pretty well.

Read through the thread and some points:

-Even if Stan Lee has been in every or most comic book movies from Marvel, I don't even recognize him.

-In no universe are Tobey and Kirsten comparable to Andrew and Emma. I can't remember the OT but even in all the time they are given to win us over/prove themselves, just a few scenes here, even just one scene between Andrew/Emma blows them completely to smithereens. I wish they didn't kill her off, and given that this franchise is pretty much dead in the water, they should just die her hair red and cast her as Mary Jane as I don't know who could follow and pull this amount of chemistry off- probably no one seeing as the actors are together in real life last I know/remember. #castemmastoneasmaryjane

-Someone, Magnus maybe, mentioned about the MCU not being scrutinized enough. How completely and unequivocally true. None of the relationships presented in the MCU so far has come even universal distance to the couple here. What was TWS's relationship? Him and Bucky? That was pathetic. Even Garfield/DeHaan have more chemistry than what we were supposed to care for in TWS. Also, good thing they had some flashback because I didn't even remember the character from CA. It's funny, I don't even like TASM2 all that much, and most of the points early in this thread are valid, but all conveniently avoided for CA:TWS. Immortality for Nick Fury? And Black Widow? And Cap? The Falcon helicopter slide? It was more solid than TASM2, but nothing in that movie is as memorable as or as strong/potent as any scene involving Andrew/Emma. If not for you, for me, it is a wonder how great chemistry can save a movie and how do we then accept anything less?

-TDKR sucked. Nolan. Batman. WOKJ. I get it. Still, it was pretty bad. I'd take TASM2...okay maybe a tie, since I did enjoy the acting in TDKR unlike the woeful attempt at a finale or even a story.

-I agree that TASM2 should have ended with Peter Parker at Gwen's grave and have the following movie take place directly after the events here showing him having to move on and etc. Ending with the Rhino robbed the impact of her death, I think, for most people. Since I was keyed in to their relationship, I was still thinking about it during the Rhino scene which I glazed over. The mid/end credits should have been DeHaan in jail setting up the Sinister Six with that recruit of his walking past each exhibit. That was a nice shot. I cannot remember how TASM ended, but I do love and remember the shot with the yellow umbrella and the rain. Lovely.

-Another problem I had with the movie was the fact that the characters seemed to have conversations for the first time. So despite how good I felt Stone/Garfield pulled it off and Garfield/Field(lol), the phrasing could have been a lot better so it doesn't seem like Gwen and Peter have never had the break up conversation before and that Peter never asked about his father before. Script problems, I'm feeling. I compared this directly to the subtlety in EOT with how they wrote the scenes despite Cruise having experienced it before.

BJs grade:

D+/C-

I have never been more emotionally detached throughout a superhero movie, it was beyond bland, had to fight to stay awake throughout much of it. Even the end is dull and lifeless. The first one put me to sleep but it did draw some serious dislike from me by the end. This was, however, my favorite rendition of peter parker/spider-man put to film so far, so it avoids being totally awful. Were it not for Garfield and Stone this would have been an F for sure.

I literally did, which just shows how forgettable it is. Obviously if someone mentioned it I would know what they were talking about :P but I honestly took about a millisecond when I saw the thread and I went "..oh!" haha

TASM2 proves how this reboot was completely unnecessary. It's just boring and exactly what you would expect from a Spider-Man movie.

Post Re: The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Better than I remembered. I think if it ended with Peter and Gwen being Spider-Many together in London with Harrys Goblin as the credits stinger this franchise would have lived to see a third film. Bold choice to kill Gwen, but you can't do a downer ending and a Look At All Our Other Cool Toys ending at the same time. But if they had nailed the ending, then Sony wouldn't have been desperate enough to work with Disney and then we wouldn't have eventually gotten No Way Home. So the suits messing the movie up turned out for the best, and Garfield's recent redemption retroactively gives him much needed closure. This is the Superior Amazing Spider-Man.
