The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Rotten Tomatoes - Predictions?

[FN Spider-man]

I will watch the other movies when this contest and which movie will do better blows over because its just stupid but I have to say IMO this is the best year for comicbook movies next year will just be okay to me im not really interested in 2015

 

[Picard Sisko]

I never cared for Bryan Singer, and all of the X-Men movies (except First Class) are pretty lackluster to me. DOFP feels like another Wolverine film with some mutants in the background (again) from the trailers. I'll see it, and hope it does well though.

Never cared for Captain America outside of the Avengers either. I can't get too excited for Guardians of the Galaxy until I see a full trailer.

Thor and Captain America are the only other superheroes besides Spidey whose comics I collect. So I am, of course, excited for Winter Soldier. I want to see all the superhero films this year and hope they're all good. I don't understand why there has to be a pissing contest. I'm more excited for TASM2, but I'm not about to shrug off other superhero films in defense of it (a practice all too common on CBM).

 

[Picard Sisko]

They are all unique, so yeah, there shouldn't be competition.

 

[FN Spider-man]

People always seem to make it one everywhere >.>

I knew that once i posted that a lot of people were going to go with the "these films can't be compared", but i defended that i was hoping for both, and in that case i was answering this post:

Lol. Cap-A 2 looks very uninteresting compared to Spidey 2, imo. I think Cap-A is so boring and cheesy. I like Chris Evans, But Cap-a is just really boring. That movie is only more anticipated because it's the next link in the chain, leading up to the next Avengers flick. It's not because it's Captain America. He's nowhere near as popular as Spidey.

Which was basically criticising Captain America 2 and saying that TASM was going to be better, all i did was deffend Cap, since i knew not many were in this section, my point was never to say Cap was going to be better, just was voicing my oun opinion due to somebody putting TASM on a holy grail and taking a p**s at the other Marvel films being released this year. I didn't even shrugg off TASM 2 either, i said that i wasn't very expected with what i saw but that i was hoping that it would be great.

I have a difficult time believing that the 'reboot stigma' will be lost on critics. Just how much that ends up contributing to poor reviews or ones in a negative light, I've no idea. I think it still ends up being a factor, unfortunately.

 

[Picard Sisko]

I don't think the "reboot stigma" will be as bad as TASM1 though now that the origin is done and over with. If TASM1 can get a 73% on RT with all that was going against it, I think TASM2 will have a much easier time.

 

[Lord]

To be honest, with that stigma or not it still had a mostly positive reception

 

[Picard Sisko]

Oh yeah, it was mostly positive reception, despite all that was going against it. If TASM1 could get a 73% with all of those reboot criticisms, I think TASM2 can get a higher score.

Here is a pretty lame article about how TASM is responsible for "wrecking Hollywood."

http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2014/01/10/how-the-amazing-spider-man-wrecked-hollywood/

This article just demonstrates what I wrote earlier in this thread about why you shouldn't sweat these rating sites. Critics are so cynical towards reboots that they "create" fiction like this. So cynical that a box office analyst and critic from Forbes is disheartened that a reboot made so much money. Perhaps I'm the cynic when it comes to Forbes...I'm telling you, the knives will be out. Might explain why MoS is at 55% on RT, although the script/structure of that film had a lot of problems for me. Will Mendelson and his buddies give TASM 2 the same fate whether it deserves it or not? It may very well deserve it in the end, at which point it's irrelevant, but this is how a lot of these critics think, believe me. I'm all for originality and new ideas, so I understand his "concern" for endless reboots and sequels. We need these studios to take more risks artistically otherwise people will be justified in their cynicism towards the industry. Hell, I'm a cynic already when it comes to a lot of these franchises. I don't see the point of continuing or rebooting a series unless you give us something new or raise the bar creatively. Let's face it, TASM was hardly original when compared to the first Spidey film, which justifies his resentment to some degree. Just don't tell me that critical objectivity for a lot of these critics isn't colored before they enter the theater. This will only get more common the more comic films flood the marketplace. We may have already started seeing this.

 

[Picard Sisko]

The issue is that these critics are going to walk into the movie with pre judgmental hatred for it.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

I agree with most of what you said Sonic but at least in my opinion TASM has its own originality its just that people complain about the origin being reteling again, i can understand that but this whole franchise is gonna be connected with every single movie and the origin is a crucial element to this... Did Richard Parker wanted Peter to have this powers?to stop Oscorp? and for "me" this is pretty original.

Just watched TASM again and that scene with Peter and Cap Stacy is.....

 

[Picard Sisko]

Well now critics can't say that this movie is the same as Spider-Man 2, so that excuse is no good this time around. Though they might use the Goblin as a justification of accusing this series of going in the same direction as the Raimi films. Who knows?

 

[Picard Sisko]

The Schmoesnoes guys basically are trashing TASM2 here, saying its going in the same direction as the Raimi series.

They will complain about the Goblin, they need it.

 

[Picard Sisko]

They'll say its Spider-Man 3 over again or something like that, IDK.

All their vids are just about trashing TASM?

Hatred is a bit strong, more like franchise fatigue. Which is why you have to bring something fresh to the table otherwise these type films will suffer the wrath. That may just mean something critics considered entertaining or fun 2 years ago is now considered tired and uninspired. It could mean they make an example out of certain films for what is wrong with Hollywood. I believe the film well be pretty well reviewed for the most part, but all things being equal, probably not as well as Guardians (which is a shiny new car and offbeat), or DoFP (which is more ambitious with timeline elements). We'll see.

 

[Picard Sisko]

You mean schmoesnoes? Well they liked TASM1, but they don't seem to happy with what they've seen of TASM2 (SDCC footage, official trailer, news, etc.)

We'll see.

I'm surprised critics don't have a franchise fatigue with X-Men already. I'm sick of that franchise. I don't think the timeline events make DOFP more ambitious, but oh well.

 

[Picard Sisko]

Schmoesnoes has given all the typical criticisms: Max Dillon is like Edward Nigma from Batman Forever, this movie has too many villains like SM3, this series is ripping off Raimi's, etc. Nothing that's really thought provoking.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

Well you can't satisfy everyone,TASM 2 has the potential to be the best Spiderman movie ever and pretty sure that will be, maybe when it releases they will change their minds.

I had my issues with TASM, but I'm definitely hoping (and expecting) something much greater from the sequel.

 

[Picard Sisko]

TASM1 of course had its issues, but overall I liked it a lot. But yeah, I'm expecting something greater from the sequel.

I'm confident that however TASM2 turns out, it will at least be an improvement, even if its only a slight one. But an improvement at that. Though I do expect a big improvement.
