The Amazing Spider-Man How Many Times You've Seen ASM?

[Itsy]

I'm not a huge fan of 3D (hate those awkward glasses), so I watched it twice in 2D to begin with. But after seeing you guys sing praises for the 1st person shots in 3D - okay, I couldn't resist the chance to experience web slinging in 3D. And twice didn't feel like enough yet, anyway. (I have never ever watched the same movie more than once on the big screen, this is a first for me!)

Wow, the shots of the city, the fights, and most of all, the web slinging, really do look incredible in 3D. I didn't care much for the crane scene before, but viewing the cranes line-up in the cityscape in 3D gave me goosebumps in the best way. (Though those shots showing the various crane operators are still cheese-tastic.)

I'm still glad I saw it in 2D twice first. 3D can be kind of distracting in scenes that don't really need it. I did not need to see the contents of Richard Parker's briefcase in 3D. Some parts had weird blurryness around one in-focus area, I don't remember that happening in 2D. Plus I could have lived without seeing the spiders in 3D. *shudder* (it's funny, I love Spider-Man, but I hate spiders).

I think I would have been suffering from too much sensory overload to pay attention to the plot and characters if I saw it in 3D first. Seeing the 3D last makes it easy to just enjoy the 3D ride.

Third time's the charm for me. Now I can be content to wait for it to be released on DVD.

Once and that was one time to many.

I may be watching it in a couple of weeks. My friend is getting back from college out of state and we're planning on watching Avengers, TAS-M and TDKR all in one week.

Did you see it in regular 3D? Or IMAX 3D? IMAX 3D was absolutely amazing.

Once. I would love to see it one more time on the big screen if I can but between work, family and misc commitments it's been too hard.
I've got a date with the Bat Man today. Want to see why it's polarizing fans so much.

 

[Donald Thomas]

Aloha,
Twice in 3D.

I wish I could have seen it in IMAX, but all the IMAX screens in my city are playing TDKR now (still haven't gotten around to watching that - was going to go this week, but I ended up watching ASM again instead).

I had such a general "meh" feeling about this movie after the first time I watched it, I didn't think I was going to see it again. Then I see a lot of people point out a whole lot of stuff I didn't pay attention to. I was so busy looking for things that weren't there, and being annoyed at things that are different from my expectations, I didn't get a good look at what the movie has to offer. How weird is that? t: I'm so glad I gave it another go.

 

[Jexx]

Yea, I could feel your 'meh' feeling from your earlier posts.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Saw it one more time today, the music is getting on me
I still don't like how he freezes midair in the final swing, feels like the tutorial from Treyarch's Spider-Man 3, not so good in a movie

 

[Jexx]

I thought it was cool.

 

[OriginalMiles]

Once, in 3D, I don't like seeing movies more than once until the Blu-Ray/DVD.

 

[Themanofbat]

I saw it once... feels like one time too many... and I saw the other three 3 times... I've never seen ANY movie at the theatre more than twice... I wish I could say a second viewing will come, but with a baby at home, my close to 45 year old body has to pick and choose his times to go to the moving pictures... and I just don't plan on seeing it again... until it comes on TV...

 

[Jexx]

I feel like you should give the movie another chance. At least pick it up from redbox when it comes out on DVD.

Make sure you bring a change of underwear.

I want to like it... for christ' sakes... It's Spider-Man...

But unlike any "good" movie that I see, where you think of the awesome stuff afterwards in spite of the bad/cheesy stuff, all I can focus on in regards to TASM is the bad stuff... even when I think of the awesome fight scenes, I drfit back the the bad stuff...

 

[Jexx]

Well? What's the bad stuff?

 

[Themanofbat]

Where to start?

He doesn't "feel" like Peter Parker to ME... yes, he appears like an outsider in school, as do MANY kids... but not as a proper Peter Parker.

The script was terrible... the pacing was wrong... even some of the acting was mediocre at best... I could have cared less about Uncle Ben's death (though I thought Martin Sheen did a GREAT job with his role)... Peter coming home with such bruises and Aunt May didn't say anything? The stealing/buying the web for his web-shooters, the show-off basketball scene at the school... just not Peter Parker... the impossible bending of the goal post... there are THOUSANDS of these spiders and ONE gives Peter his powers? Give me a break... and if this was a set up for the sequel, they did a piss poor job in presenting it... Peter's parents were presented and then gone, and I could have cared less due to their minimal screen time and the minimalistic their impact was in that shortened time... all the mystery with Oscorp that just didn't go anywhere... the promise to Captain Stacy that lasted what? 5 minutes worth of screen time and maybe a few weeks in real time? Give me a break... the REAL Peter Parker would have kept that promise... or at least TRIED... this guy DID NOT TRY... it would have been fine to see him pine for his girl only to give in later on... maybe by the end of the 2nd film... all the scenes with Dr. Connors came off as horrible to me...

I could go on... by my wife needs me...

Ciao...

Lol, I won't be watching all three in one day, haha.

 

[spidey99]

My wife and I seen it just the one time on the fourth of july. My broken down ol' 46 year old body has a difficult time sitting to long in one spot, but with this being spidey...I had to deal with my pain. And this flick was well worth it. Everyone has their opinions, but I tend to enjoy just about everything I watch these days, and this was a great movie. Can't wait to see it again on our large 3D hdtv when it comes out.

Keep On Thwipin'!!!

Saw it once, regular 3D. Want to see it at least one more time.

Peter coming home with such bruises and Aunt May didn't say anything?

Did you go to the bathroom during that scene where Aunt May was all "Where do you go? Who does this to you?"

 

[Themanofbat]

Did you go to the bathroom during that scene where Aunt May was all "Where do you go? Who does this to you?"

Yes... but there's no explanation given... what kind of a caregiver does that?

I'm sure there's a "behind the scene" thing going on... but I don't want to assume anything when I watch a movie... if I'm supposed to assume the aftermath of that scene... why bother putting the scene in the movie?

 

[Itsy]

She demanded to know what happened, he wouldn't tell her, she yelled at him for a bit, laid a bit of guilt trip on him... He still wouldn't tell her his secret. It wasn't a very long scene, but she pulled out just about every parental tool there is. What more can she do? It's not like she can give him a time out and/or spank him. (Though it would be funny if she did.)

 

[Themanofbat]

I'd like to think that if my teenage son came home looking like Peter did and he wouldn't tell me how that happened, I would do more than just let it go...

 

[Jexx]

Sorta off topic here, but what's with the ellipsis? It makes me read your posts like you're depressed. Not to mention you're usually using them incorrectly.

They're used when you omit part of a sentence. I'll use one of your previous posts as an example as what not to do.

Yes... but there's no explanation given... what kind of a caregiver does that?

You're using the 'ellipsis' as your grammar tool of choice, filling the role of a comma and a full stop. The correct grammar for that sentence would be: Yes, but there's no explanation given. What kind of a caregiver does that?

I'd like to think that if my teenage son came home looking like Peter did and he wouldn't tell me how that happened, I would do more than just let it go...

The above is a correct example of using an ellipsis, it doesn't completely finish the thought of telling what you would do, so thus you omitted part of the sentence.

Eh, sorry, that was bugging me.
