The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Post-release)

[Aron Wohlfart]

And a good chuck of the middle when Peter tries to figure out what happened to them.

Well. His parents are a big part of what he is struggling inside. Most of the first movie he was struggling with it.
So there had to be a part about them
Otherwise ppl would complain that they forgot about his parents XD
Also he needed it to finish it and move on like e did in the end of the movie when we put away te pictures of them.

You have to admit there were some absolute stupid scenes in this film, the sending of the file on the plane, all those years ago,.....don't think you could even do that now, the underground lab train,.....who made that...& why?.....why were the coins hidden inside the calculator, why send the message to a computer than no-one knew about, why not send the message to the press

The build up to finding out what happened to his parents just didnt pay off,....that was it?.....the spider venom,....and the fact that PP becoming Spider-man by being bitten by the very spiders that his father genetically modified & the venom would have turned him crazy had it not matched his DNA,......it ruins the character of the comic book,......its like the Force being explained by Midicloreans

The Max character is basically a mixture of Richard Prior's character from Superman 3 & Jim Carey's Riddler from Batman Forever, so overdone and cheesy.....not so much comic-book but more 60's Batman......compare to Doc Ock's turn to the Dark-side in Spiderman 2 (ultimately the best Spiderman film yet) & you'll see how bad it has been handled

The constant slow-mo and speed ups isn't any thing new......Bullet Time,....it's done in every cartoon....even TopGear,.....the Spidey sense tingle scene was laughable instead of cool.....why can't someone replicate or intrerpret the comic book tingle:

........with some sort of wave distortion effect,.....instead of the over used Bullet Time

PP's problem with the ghost of Gwen's dad,.....he seems to have more hang-ups with him than his real parents or his Uncle Ben......

There are more problems, tonnes more, but that'll do for now.

Overall I do prefer Garfields portrayal of PP/SM to Macquire's but I prefer the first 2 Rami films to Webbs

Maybe someday a true Spider-man film will be made,.....possibly when it returns to Marvel/Disney, they know what they're doing & what works

I dont know. But as i know u can use internet in a private plane for a while. But that doesnt matter

I understand ur opinion. I just cant agree to it. I loved most of that movie

Alfred molina is a great actor and did a great job. But to me he was the only good thing in spiderman2.
I didnt enjoy those spiderman movies so much cause mj got me angry everytime she had a scene

Well, you cant please everyone

Who knows what will be after tasm3 and when a new director comes.

This film also suffers from holding the hand of it's audience WAY too much. Did they really need to have a computer voice say out loud that these nuclear glowing rods are dangerous and could explode if not handled carefully? I haven't felt this taken care of since Man of Steal put an arrow pointing toward's Zod's ship on a big moniter.

dont get me wrong but sound like u r just searching for every mini thing to be able to complain.

Ever been in a lab or something? There r signs everywhere for everything so nobody does something stupid (andevem engineers do super stupid things)
So its understandable that in a high tech lab they do it with a voice instead of putting everything with signs

The computer voice was wrong, uranium isn't explosive by itself. No, you still wouldn't want to break those canisters, but they wouldn't explode...they'd just kill you real good.

ditto on the uranium not exploding if it got out...

All in all felt like this movie just plain insulted the audiences collective intelligence.

First off, they said that the human/animal hybrid studies were killed off (obviously except in a secret projects facility), yet Max fell in a vat of electric eels (that were apparently modified in some regard, otherwise they would've just straight hurt him) that turned him into electro...

I agree the whole internal dialogue in Max was silly, with the in time, musical chanting...

I also thought the only actually GOOD CG was electro. All of the rest of it looked very cartoonish...

Jaime Foxx does not play a good nerdy guy. He definitely did well as Electro the villain, but as Max Dillon his performance felt forced.

Also one thing that bugged me was Peter's crazy obsessed wall scrawlings...and his obsession with Gwen. I mean, I love my wife and all, but I never pasted pictures of her literally all over my room. And the obsessive wall mural that he made. Why on earth would he make a question mark out of tape? Did he really have that much trouble remembering that he had unanswered questions? I mean, I realize it was a device for the audience, but still, it was a little insulting. The whole scene bugged me a lot.

Also I understand Spidey is a teenager and all, but what was with the SUPER cheesy music in the film? The score was great, but the added songs made it feel like a teenage romantic comedy, not a comic book action movie.

There is more I didn't like, but that's enough for now.

As was said though, Whether a movie was great or awful is a matter of opinion!

It was loud and colorful and fun, had just enough "hit you in the feels". Very excessive in almost every other way though. Best spider suit ever filmed for sure. They finally nailed the eyes!

What a mess. Joel Schumacher has been using Marc Webb as an alias - so much of this movie reminds me of Schumacher Bat-films that I'm to the point where I can't believe that fanboys have any significant amount of like for this movie. They even re-used Arnold's make-up from Batman & Robin... although, Electro seems to have crossbred Freeze with a little Palpatine.

Yes, there were some good parts - Garfield and Stone certainly have chemistry (even if I still think Garfield is a terrible Peter Parker), they were certainly a believable couple (I wonder why...) - but, even with so many over-the-top Denis Leary ghost appearances, there was still just not enough struggle for Peter to or not to see Gwen. When they were together, they worked - but when they weren't I just never bought it and never bought Peter's struggle.

The villains were absolutely incredibly stupid. Just plain stupid. The backstories made zero sense and there were just too many inconsistencies and leaps of faith on the part of the audience. I can't believe these villains were the best they could do - they just took me so far out of the movie with contrived plots and nonsensical origins that I felt ripped off and like I saw this before (in a Schumacher Bat-movie... but, even those movies were so big and cartoony, that it was more expected and acceptable).

Yeah, Spidey himself was done pretty good - thankfully they even got the suit right this time around. But, even that and the Garfield/Stone performances couldn't save this mess.

Raimi gave us much, much, better Spider-Man films. This is Spider-Man Forever or Spider-Man & Robin.

I will say this for the film. He kept his mask on a majority of the time. I appreciated that.

Just think that sometimes I shouldn't come here to read reviews since 90% of the time (with the exception of the Lego Movie) that no one really likes any movie. I got it, people are die-hard comic book fans, but there's ALWAYS going to have to be leeway to make it a viable live-action film. I get the impression that if the movies were even a frame-by-frame duplicate to the comic books, that you guy's still will hate it.

I absolutely loved this movie for what it is. It wasn't over the top or overly dramatic where other films like to stretch out scenes necessarily. The villains didn't come into existence arbitrarily or served no purpose to the plot. Not to mention it wasn't flooded with characters either. Just about every element it contained was relevant to the plot's development.

If you're going to complain about the slo-mo sequences, then I think you've got more issues to worry about. You want stupid little waves appearing for when his spidey sense goes off? Tell me how less ridiculous that'll look on screen then the slo-mo. The slo-mo sequence, specifically, the times square scene, did a damn good job at showing you the extent of his awareness and sense of danger. If that scene upset you, then I don't think anything will please you.

I actually try to see the positive side of movies, I liked Prometheus although there were faults with it which the critics tore apart, I dont want 'stupid little waves' but I do think that the Bullet Time scenes are bad rip-offs of other movies and are nothing that we haven't seen before.

Spidey was my favourite super hero movie as a kid and I think these movies are poorly done.

[Aron Wohlfart]

Well i think prometheus was poorly done
The whole story was told in tje first 5 minutes and the rest of the movie was just filling time. And the movie was so super predictable and the ending was super bad too

Then explain to me how it should have been done. To say it was poorly done is extreme IMO
