The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Director's Cut

[OriginalMiles]

What's funny is even though miles said he fixed it, the video still won't play for me.

I'm Bizarro-Airnick.

"Spider-Man 3" has an audience rating of 51% on Rottentomatoes.com and a 64% critical rating. "ASM2" has a critical rating of 54% but 75% of the audience like the film. The average audience rating is a 3.5-4.0 out of 5.

Spider-Man 3's audience rating is based off a MUCH higher number of votes, because the movie has been out 7 years. TASM 2's audience rating has been dropping ever since it came out, the movie is only out a couple of weeks (not even a full week in the U.S.) and it's got a paltry number of votes compared to SM-3's.

When TASM 2's number of ratings reaches even half way close to the number SM-3 has you can bet the % will be as low as SM-3's or close to it. Maybe even lower at the rate it's been dropping.

It's Airnick, you sounded wrong.

More people, outside of the critics, like "ASM2" than they did "Spider-Man 3." Also, unless "Neighbors" can take the #1 slot from "ASM2", I see it remaining #1 this weekend and see it making over the 200 million mark by the end of the year. If it has another solid weekend showing and word of mouth from fans is good, it will do fine this week, but come the week after with "Godzilla" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" the following week, I expect it to fall to 3rd or 4th place.

I don't believe it will have the same profitability as "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" but I don't think the general public is ready to write these reboot movies off quite yet like some people on here.

I don't think anyone cares about these reboot films.

In the places I've looked and with the people around me, no one seems very excited about them. Certainly not like the original trilogy.

So, there's a cut that would've made the film even worse? Heh.

People care about these rebooted films (like me), but the issue is that there aren't enough people that care.

 

[slimshady247]

Indeed, that's what I meant, I was just being hyperbolic. Yee.

You don't feel the same can happen with "Amazing Spider-Man 2?" Also, it's one week since the film has been out. One. Are bad reviews turning some people off from enjoying it or seeing it? Sure, but it's like I said... this coming week will determine where it stands with moviegoers and fans, and ultimately will be the deciding factor in what Sony has to change but also what Marc Webb and his team need to do to restore confidence in the public and bring some fans back.

I think too many people, however, just want to see these reboot movies fail because they want the character to go back to Marvel Studios and be their property again. I can understand that but I think there are a lot of stuff that the Raimi films got wrong that this got right and there are some things that these films got wrong that Raimi got right. I like that we have two separate cinematic-versions of the character that people can compare, contrast, and ultimately decide what they like or dislike and which is the true definitive Spider-Man trilogy or simply be fine with both. *Shrugs*

There's a reason why...

They are mediocre movies.

Well I think the first film is very good, but I still need to see the second film again to give a more solid opinion. But the main reason why a lot of people don't care is because it's a reboot. Don't say it like it's a fact that these movies are mediocre because it's not.

Well then...with that in mind, I think it's fair to say that you can't assume that the popularity is waning because it's a reboot, either. TDK, Star Trek, and Bond say hello.

How do we know that the cut we got wasn't the directors cut?

That implies the first set of movies were much better. I consider the first trilogy mediocre. The first one was pretty good, bit had significant flaws. Spider-Man two is vastly overrated in my opinion. And we all know about Spider-Man 3.

The excitement was higher in those because they were a new idea. It was more unique then. We hadn't seen a live action Spider-Man anyeher near this caliber (from a budget and effects standpoint) before. Now, reboots aren't anything "special." They're very similar from a budget standpoint to what happened just a few years before.

The same difference on the excitement level will happen when X-Men and Fantastic Four are rebooted.

Because TASM1 was a much quicker reboot re-telling an origin story only 10 years after SM1.

Star Trek (2009) basically reinvented and modernized a dead franchise to a completely new audience. Casino Royale was as much of a reboot as any other Bond film that introduced a new actor in the role, so IDK if that really counts.

Do you know what "director's cut" means?

Fact!

 

[Picard Sisko]

Fact!

Chaseter usually presents his opinions as facts. Nothing new here.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

Fact!

Just do like i do

 

[OriginalMiles]

Opinions are facts don't you know?

 

[Andrew Lucas]

Opinions are facts don't you know?

Yeah

Do you know what "director's cut" means?

Obviously i don't.

Of course i do. my point is, maybe the longer version you guys are hoping for isn't what Webb intended. Usually, fans are calling for directors cuts because they assume that the studio made the director tailor the movie to the way they wanted it, as opposed to his true vision and all i'm saying is, how do we know that what we saw on screen wasn't his true vision?

 

[chaseter]

People who clutch to excuses like franchise fatigue and reboot fatigue as means of propping up critically mediocre films and mediocre box office performances ignore numerous examples that up-end those excuses.

All it falls down on is that the films are subpar. Batman Begins didn't make much but there's a reason why TDK made that much. There's a reason why Skyfall made that much after coming off of QoS. There's a reason why Fast and Furious generates more excitement with the GA than Spidey movies do now. But get ready for ASM3 and spinoffs! Who's excited for more rushed crap!?

 

[Picard Sisko]

Obviously i don't.

Don't roll your eyes at me. Thanks.

Those of us asking for a director's cut don't care about whether or not footage was cut from the studio or the director. There are in fact deleted scenes that were advertised to us that we want to see in the movie and, in the long run, we just want an "extended cut" of TASM2. Call it whatever you want, it doesn't matter. Just give us the film that was being advertised.

Your opinion isn't fact. Mediocre reviews and pathetic box office turnout shows more of the mediocrity of this movie than a few fanboys who think this is the greatest superhero movie they've ever seen. I wonder which side is more objective....Metacritic, RT, boxofficemojo or SHH! posters lololololololololooooilooolllllllllll
