Proves my point that I don't care about you enough, ey, Darthsky.
Please can the nerd fight and discuss the movie civilly.
The way I look at it is:
The Amazing Spider-Man is probably a better Spider-Man film than the Raimi trilogy, even if it isn't a better film.
Haven't seen the new movie yet but it looks really great in terms of more Spidey action & eye candy overall.
IMO, The Raimi Spider-Man movies were really good/great for their time but only limited by the story or cgi of the time. If only Raimi had access to the technology of today for the original trilogy back then who knows how much better they would have turned out.
Ajendo...remember our bet?
For your usual reaction to this movie, this score is kinda high, lolSpider-Man 2 - 9/10
Spider-Man - 8/10
The Amazing Spider-Man - 7/10
Spider-Man 3 - 6/10
Did not think it would go down like clockwork like that, haha.
I'm SO happy to report my new rankings:
1.) TASM - 8.5/10
2.) Spider-Man 2 - 8/10
3.) Spider-Man - 7/10
4.) Spider-Man 3 - 5/10
While I was expecting it to be pretty darn good, I still honestly expected TASM to fall in between SM2 and SM1, so this was a pleasant surprise for me.
If its mediocre as a film, technically you should rate it a 5.![]()
Frankly, this movie falls short of all three of Raimi's efforts. I love the character so I don't hate any of the efforts but ASM is very mediocre as a film.
Saw ASM late afternoon and as luck would have it was home flipping the channels and saw SM3 on FX. I stopped and rewatched some of that and there's no doubt that even Spider-Man 3 is the better all around film. I've always said that SM3 is an overcrowded film but it certainly has its moments. Besides far better action sequences, SM3 has more emotional impact and truly stand out moments. Sure, it also has "stub your toe" moments but the good outweighs the bad. Amazing Spider-Man has many monotone moments with a bit of heart sprinkled in. Nothing seems deep or really hits home. Even Uncle Ben's demise falls terribly flat and it's almost glossed over. SM3 swung for the fences and served up some tasty treats and some sours ones as well. This movie feels phoned in and serves up vanilla everything.
SM1 = 8/10
SM2 = 10/10
SM3 = 7/10 (strong)
ASM = 7/10 (weak)
