The Amazing Spider-Man ASM Blu-ray: Most Wanted Features and Extras

[Troy_Parker]

Sorry, didn't see the posts about it were from the 22nd and so on, but my point still stands. It's annoying to keep seeing the same thing pop-up over and over again.

Not naming any names, but really? I'll bet anything that people would still be nitpicking and bashing the movie 24/7 if those deleted scenes were still in the movie.

To be fair, RT can also be used to gauge if it's worth watching a movie or not. Thus whether to waste your time and money, or not.

So you prefer not to think for yourself, eh? What if they say a movie sucked, you got around to watching it and you loved it, or vice-versa. It still makes no sense.

I can make my own mind up. I would have watched Dredd even if it got less than a 20% rating. I saw GL and GR so I don't need RT hut if there was a movie I was on the fence about and I didn't have money to burn and RT had a low score for that movie I would probably skip it.

Can we all shut up about a directors cut?

We're not going to get one. The deleted scenes are there, make of them what you will. It'd be a slight possibility if they didn't include them AT ALL.

And the scenes just barely add anything to the movie anyways. The Lair scene has a hint about the fact that Peter was possibly special before he was even bitten, but that's all it is, a very slight hint.

The others are just filler imo. What we got was fine.

Although I do think the Lair scene and Connors Condolences should have stayed.

I think the Lair scene should have stayed at the very least because it enables TASM to work as a stand-alone movie for the most part, because Ratha's character doesn't end up disappearing in the movie. And I think the fact that Connors leaving his evil plans on a laptop without ANY password or security on it is silly.

I agree with everything said here. The sewer lab scene or Lair scene as you call it, is the only scene that would benefit the movie however, if Ratha is still alive in the sequel or addressed in some other manner then this deleted scene deserved to be cut.

Deleted scenes are a very common thing in the movie biz and are done so for various reasons. Go watch the special features on any BR and you'll find either a deleted scene section and/or an alternate take section. And that's just the stuff they decided to put on the disc. There's plenty more footage that ends up on the cutting room floor.

It's kind of a running theme on the Hype.

Yep. RT should be used as a reference tool but the final judgement should be your own perception after viewing the film.

Still a 4.5/5 which is really good

That's the overall score including the video, the audio, the extras....but the movie itself was 4.0/5 while everything else got 4.5 or 5. How is it that the movie itself got the lowest score?

I'll just step in for a minute and say that I believe that the film would have been better with certain scenes that we've heard about already and would really make TAS-M so much of a better film overall, so no, I don't think I would be bashing the film if we got certain scenes in the final cut. My biggest nitpicks are that certain things were untouched.

Can't tell if baiting TASM fans, or asking a genuine question.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Partially saying what I believe that TAS-M isn't that great and that's why it received a lower grade than even the quality of the audio itself and that the deleted scenes, which are included in the extras, could be some great scenes that deserved to be in the final cut.

It's not really saying much if a movies overall rating is lower than audio or picture quality. For a high budget film, those two things should be pretty easy to get right. Its really simple how the movie rating was lower than the audio/video scores.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Ehhh...that's saying the quality of the Blu-Ray itself is better than the movie. So it's not the movie that gets your attention, it's the quality of the Blu-Ray.

so just a great movie in a bluray in a mediocre quality is good?
i mean is the movie...but with no extras...someone could just download it ONLINE

or have a movie YOU like with excellent quality in video and audio and good extras , my case

The quality of the technical aspect of getting a good 1080p transfer to the Blu-ray format has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of a film. I don't know why you're drawing comparisons between them.

And the reviewer gave the movie a 4 out of 5 which happens to be a higher score than what you'd give ASM. You're not going to buy this movie anyway so honestly what do you care?

Ohh I get what you are saying. I still disagree with it, but I see where you are coming from. I disagree because the movie itself and the blu-ray quality are graded on two completely different scales. He isn't necessarily saying that the Blu-ray is more entertaining than the movie itself, just that there are no complaints for the picture quality, and it's about as good as the picture on a movie can be. Same goes for the audio.
For the movie itself though, its a lot harder to get a perfect score because there are a lot more factors that go into it than the Blu-ray.

See, Web face got what I meant.

Anyone hear this:

The folks over at ComicBook.com have somehow managed to get their hands on a copy of The Amazing Spider-Man's Director's Commentary and have revealed some of the secrets spilled by Marc Webb on the track. According to the site, he revealed that "the "origin" of the spiders that inform Spider-Man’s origin will be told in a later film" and while Martin Sheen apparently requested that his death be a dream sequence in order to return for the sequel, Webb would in fact be "open to possibly bringing the character back in flashback." Something which didn't sit well with a lot of fans was how the character's death was handled; the script danced around the "With Great Power..." line and Peter wasn't REALLY changed all that much by his Uncle's demise. Turns out that this is something Marvel were also concerned about. "[It]was the hardest change to get cleared by Marvel, who wanted to make sure that the tone and sensibility of the character’s death was retained from the comic book source material."

Thoughts?

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Martin Sheen, really? Wanting to change a major event just to get more money for the sequel? I don't know how I feel about that.

Take a guess from experience and you'll probably be right.

A 4/5 is a great score no matter how much one tries to twist that. As you said Web face, you can't really compare the score of a picture and audio quality to the score of the film itself with characters, plots, dialogue, story etc. etc. which makes it alot more complex and harder to perfect.

4/5, a great score that is no more or less valid than any professional low score.

Anno you're reaching for it.

 

[spider-neil]

Thoughts?

The origin of the Spiders greatly interest and dollars to donuts Peter was ALREADY genetically altered BEFORE be got bitten by the spiders.

As for the uncle ben 'great power' line, when I read the AF #15 reprint where the NARRATER rather than uncle Ben that says the line I am less bothered about UB not saying it in the movie.

A side note, it's interesting the Amazing Fantasy was a comic run that featured a 'twist' ending so AF #15 fits right into that series as the twist of the story is the criminal that kills his uncle is the same guy that runs past Peter at the start of the story.

 

[spider-neil]

4/5 is a great score for ASM.

 

[J.Howlett]

I don't agree that the script/film danced around the "great power..." theme at all. The entire second half of the picture is ENTIRELY devoted to that theme and to Uncle Ben's last words to Peter. It's just done completely different than Raimi's....and for the better.

I also don't agree that Uncle Ben's death didn't effect Peter. It just didn't turn him into a super hero right away. It's fine if it does completely transform him into a man, but I think that it is also fine if they want to take their time showing his development into a hero.

It means...

1.) Marc Webb seems to think it'll be important to have an origin for those spiders, whereas it was more important for Raimi to do this when he had 15 super spiders and in this reboot, there seems to be a whole lot of 'em that I'd be fine if they don't really focus on it.

2.) Uncle Ben showing up in a sequel will make people compare it to Spider-Man 2, lol. Sheen is a God, yes, but let's stay away from anything Uncle Ben unless it's Ben's killer.

3.) I agree that they did kinda mess up the death, but that has nothing to do with the actual death. "Not my policy" almost killed the entire scene.

Web face understood it, so I'm pleased someone got what I meant besides thinking I'm just bashing the film again. There is some hope still on these boards besides the regular posters who just jump on every word that seems to be negative
