The Amazing Spider-Man Guess the Rotten Tomatoes Rating for ASM

[craigdbfan]

It's probably going to drop a bit more too. Still going to watch this on Sunday seeing as it's only 8 bucks for a 3D showing.

 

[EML420]

I feel like this movie is really polarizing people around here and well in general, to those who have seen the other big superhero movies open does it star out this way and will the general consensus be had?

I feel like when Thor CA and X men FC came out reception was better but this has people all over the place.

 

[craigdbfan]

Had they taken a non linear narrative and gone through a different method of highlighting his origins without making it feel like retread I think this movie would have been far better received (universally praised status).

Something tells me Webb probably wanted to but Sony had a strong hand in this and decided to play it safe due to the giant gamble of doing a reboot. Sony should have known better than when you're doing a reboot you have to be bold when it comes to making different decisions to the narrative.

That can really make or break a film. If Webb stays on I really hope Sony isn't as restrictive and let him do more of what he wants. His idea of a more globe trotting Spider-Man is damn exciting and something I think the character and franchise really needs.

They need to let the guy breathe and stretch his creative muscles.

Possible, maybe unfortunate
I was hoping this was an improvement to Spider-Man 2 in every possible way, reception included

EDIT: Read some of the words from critics with negative reviews about it on that site, it's dissed by most of what I read of them for not being original or for basically rehashing and retelling what Raimi told with his SM1 and SM2, not mainly cause it was done in lower quality or such stuff, mainly for retreading

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

If they do a trilogy I think overall it will benefit from laying down the groundwork by re-doing the origin.

Gwen Stacy HAD to be Parker's first love and Green Goblin had to be alive for the Gwen Stacy saga to reach its full potential. Plus a new continuity easily explains the new cast, tone, webshooters, new characteristics, etc.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

It's very likely if they keep up with their effort, or better improve on it

 

[Sharkboy]

I agree with craig, a non linear narrative would have worked wonders considering the first half of the film has the exact same beats as SM1.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Dropped even more, soon to enter the realm of 60s
Doubt other critics will rise the rating

 

[hatebox]

It's bizarre that it started off well and then dropped. I thought, given it's a reboot, it'd be the other way round.

Might finish in the 60s now.

 

[Micromind]

On RT there are mostly about 40 Top Critics reviews. According to top critic rating, TASM is better than SM3, IM 2, Thor, X-M:FC

[Spider-Aziz]

@hatebox: I agree, was hoping for ratings to rise

@Bruce_Begins: It's funny XMFC gets this low a score

 

[Doctor Jones]

The non linear narrative would have definitely worked. Just show some flashbacks of Peter and Uncle Ben over the course of the film and in what happened the night Uncle Ben died or something. But I would have started the film with him as Spider-Man and maybe we see a scene of Peter in his room and we flashback to Uncle Ben in his room pre-spider bite talking to him.

Don't bang it over the head, just make it hold weight to the story that it is telling in which they could relate thematically.

Like Connors being a father figure/mentor to Peter but being reminded at osme points what Uncle Ben did and tie it nicely together.

I think that having the entire origin story fleshed out will pay off in the end.
Because when you watch all the movies of this new franchise, you'll see as it starts from when Peter was a young boy all the way to whatever happens to him in the final movie. It lets you watch the character really grow to what he ends up becoming.

X-Men FC
28/40
70%

wow im suprised XFC was so low

 

[Spider-Who?]

Yeah, I was in the "just do the origin in flashbacks!" boat as well. Then, upon seeing the movie, I got it, and while I wish they didn't do it so there'd be more time for Spidey, I understand why they did it, and accept it. Actually enjoying the reboot's version of origin helped, too lol.

 

[Liam_H]

When the RT score looked like it may drop below 70% I was wondering if it would eventually lose its certified fresh label.

It kind of reminds me of the polarization between fans of Hulk and The Incredible Hulk. Spider-man had the better fell but TAS put everything that Rami's Spider-man left out in its movie. I wish we could take the best elemetns from both Spider-mans and made the perfect Spider-man movie.

 

[SentinelMind]

Barely in the 70s now....

I thought the movie was good overall....on page with Xmen First Class and Iron Man(s).

Not on the level of X-men, X2, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Superman 2, etc....but it has laid out a good foundation.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

At least it's 72 now, better than lower than 70
Couldn't help it but check on Avengers while I'm at it, $606 million in USA alone, that's pretty strong

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

This is ridiculous. TASM is infinitely better than Raimi's first Spidey movie. They just score it lower cause there hasn't been a lot of time between reboot. What bs$$#@$#

Peter Parker/Spidey is the perfect balance of wisecracking, intelligence, and a caring spirit that is needed.

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

72% b/c of reboot or too familiar? Bull****

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

I'm 100% sure that it is getting points taken off by reviewers who loved the Raimi Spidey movie and ignore the cool differences, and grumble at the similar points during the movie.

They completely ignore that Garfield's tone for characterization knocks Tobey's Clark Kent Peter Parker out of the park!

 

[Gianakin_]

No they don't. Most reviewers, even negative ones are saying that Garfield, Emma and their chemistry steal the show. Everyone acknowedges that. Don't be unfair.

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Are you kidding? I'm talking negative reviews here. Many of the negative reviews have the same talking point... It is that the movie is a retread of Raimi's Spidey film. That is their biggest reason knocking it down. I feel they ignore just how different the characterization was nailed this time.

 

[Gianakin_]

I'm talking negative reviews, too, as I stated before. They all acknowledge Garfield and Emma. And many acknowledge the different tone. But they find tons of similarities between TASM and SM!, namely in terms of structure, events and certain elements.
