The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Crowd report - How are they reacting to this film?

[Webhead38]

I went Thursday night and while the crowd was small, the reaction was very positive, which included a strong emotional response at one point and then applause after the film was over. My audience seem to really like it. I loved the movie. And I was totally shocked by how much it got to me. I didn't go in expecting to like it much either, so I was very pleased. Could the critics see it completely different from the general audience? Let's find out. How was your audience reaction?

Good crowd for me at the 7 Thur showing. Everyone was laughing when they should and it got a good round of applause after.

 

[Visualiza]

Caught the 7 PM show on Thursday night. There were only about 30 people in the cinema. People laughed at some bits, but it was the kids who laughed at damn near everything. I was the first person to walk out as soon as the credits rolled, and 3 people, looked like teenagers, started clapping. Nobody joined in and they stopped shortly thereafter.

Didn't hear much commotion, positive or negative, so other than the above I can't really gauge it. I sure as hell know how the movie left me feeling.

 

[KDM1986]

Saw it with a packed house. Some laughs here and there. Most we're locked in during the end. It was pretty quiet for awhile. Leaving their wasn't a lot of talk. Personally I thought the movie was good. 3/5 worth seeing

 

[IncognitoWalrus]

The audience gasped during the dreaded scene and was completely quiet during the grave scene, except for the kids wailing "Gwen! Gwen!"

There was clapping afterward and some cheering for every hint at a Sinister Six member during the credits.

Then massive boos for the mid-credits scene hahaha.

 

[LizardMan07]

What this will be though is a scientific look into the correlation between someone's opinion of the film and the crowds reaction.

Unless you here clapping or booing, you'll tend to believe the crowd thought what you thought

 

[Spideyfan117]

Not really much clapping. But plenty of people talking about how cool it was in the surrounding seats. People laughed at the funny parts. Kids screamed at the scary parts. People were dead quiet at somber parts (except for one girl who was sobbing, felt bad for her). That's all I can use as a gauge. So... I guess pretty positive?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

No clapping, but a good bit of laughing. It was strange how silent my theater was when the film ended.

 

[spiderman2]

Hard to really say. I saw it at 7pm last night and the theater was probly only about 30% full but everone laughed at the landery sherife part and a few other parts. When gwend died I could hear a few snifers in the corwed and I was starting to get a little tearide.

 

[Em Dee]

My crowd was actually pretty boring.

 

[Marvel Spider]

Some dude was around the first row on his phone texting. Someone who worked there told him to turn it off, though, which was good. Other than that, the crowd laughed at the jokes, gasped at the "big moment", and clapped at the end. Some people were confused with the X-Men clip.

 

[ShadowBoxer]

I saw it with a packed house tonight. They laughed at the right times and clapped at the end. They was stunned silence during

Spoiler

Gwen's death scene. The girl sitting next to me jumped in her seat when Gwen's head hit the ground and she hand her hands over her mouth. The guy behind me was shocked kept saying " I can't believe they actually did this".

. Overall, awesome crowd!

 

[Mad Ones]

My crowd clapped, which just confused me.

 

[Nardz937]

No reaction at all. The crowd barley reacted to anything in the movie. Zero reaction to Gwen's death and barley any laughs at all throughout.

 

[ShadowBoxer]

My crowd clapped, which just confused me.

Maybe they liked it?? Not everyone hates this movie or think it's Green Lantern bad. I for one liked it.

 

[Nemeres]

When I went to see it for the first time my theater was less than half full (to be fair we did pick the least appealing show: subtitled, 2D and Friday at 9 PM), but my crowd did seem to enjoy it. They laughed repeatedly at the jokes (the bit of Peter in bed with his face dirty, the lines I'd heard in trailers a billion times? People ate it up. Worked like a charm to fresh audiences.) And when Gwen died, a collective gasp. Then they stayed until the credits, saw the X-Men scene and went "Huh?", just as predicted.

 

[ares834]

My crowd didn't enjoy it. And the X-Men trailer at the end confused them. I heard a lot of whispers about Spider-man crossing over into the X-verse.

 

[def28]

I heard a lot of whispers about Spider-man crossing over into the X-verse.

Yeah, that's what they want them to think. Thought it was a lame move.

 

[psylockolussus]

They were a lot of laughs and people were excited when they saw the mid-credits scene.

 

[Spider-Ranger]

The crowd at my first screening was pretty boring. They didn't react to anything, they didn't laugh, didn't clap at the end. It made me quite nervous because I thought the movie must be bad and thus I searched for reasons the whole time instead of enjoying the movie itself. That's why I couldn't really decide on an opinion the first time.

Then two days later I went to the theater with my family and friends at my town. My town is known to be very difficult. (They're testing products here first to see if they get good feedback.) I was so happy to see that the crowd seemed to like it! The theater was full! They laughed at the right moments and some even applauded in the end. Unfortunately though when Gwen died someone had to sneeze and another one replied with "bless ya", so everybody started laughing, what ruined the whole scene

Nevertheless the second screening made me enjoy the film much more. You just need to have the right people around you

 

[Immortalfire]

My audience didn't react like any of these poll choices. Though some dude near me at the credits was all, "OMG! SPidey is gonna be teh XMEN!??"

 

[AnneFan]

My audience didn't react like any of these poll choices. Though some dude near me at the credits was all, "OMG! SPidey is gonna be teh XMEN!??"

Heh. That's one of my few complaints, that X-Men trailer. They should have just had clean uninterrupted credits if they pulled the original bonus scene.

 

[Zantera]

When I saw it, the response was positive. Most people clapping their hands and cheering afterwards. People laughed during the "funny" parts, and people gasped when you-know-what happened.

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

People laughed at a majority of the jokes, [blackout]you could hear a pin drop when Gwen died[/blackout], and a handful of people clapped when it ended. My group of friends loved it. [blackout]My one friend kept saying, "I can't believe they killed Gwen." We were pretty distraught.[/blackout]

 

[Galactus123]

No clapping or applause. That is not a common thing to do here where I live and that is great. More silent audience the better. Of course there was some laughing.
