The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Rotten Tomatoes score? - Part 4

[LizardMan07]

yes that was really emotionally powerful, but in the comic it works that well because the readers were surprised with Spider-man, the comics on that era wouldn't usually dare to do something that brutal so it emphasized that shock factor. In the movie on the other hand, majority already know the story of Gwen dying so it's like people kinda know she is gonna die but don't want her to. So, the dramatic slow-motion and the web turning into a hand, it empasizes the moment that you didn't want to happen but was bound to

That's a really great way to explain it

So I got spare cash and time to watch the new X-Men... and I (gasp!) agree with RT score. Sure it's Wolverine & Co all over again but nevertheless is was a great piece of cinema. I thought it was better than both Cap2 and TASM2 lol.
And then I got sad TASM2 should've been up there with Cap2 and DOFP on RT, man.. for good word of mouth to gross 800+ million.
You ruined it Sony, you ruined everything!

 

[JOE]

For some reason I just didn't like Cap 2... Just didn't sit well with me, I was really bored watching it. TASM 2 wasn't great but I still liked it better than Cap 2. Godzilla was my dark horse from the beginning and it was great!

 

[HarryOsborn]

Yeah I don't think IMBD matter and hear is why. Spider man 2 is only at like a 7.4 dark knight is at like a 9 and they are both great movies and consider pretty close by most people yet there is a 1.6 difference in there scores. Most people wouldn't say that dark knight is supiera to spider man 2 but accoreding to IMBD it is.

I feel like X2 really was the first cross genre comic book flick but none the less, the dark knight perfected it. I don't even like Nolan, I think he's overrated and pretentious, needless to say the dark knight was a masterpiece. Spider-man 2 perfected the class cbm formula, but the dark knight changed it as much as avengers did.

Heh I admit I was too harsh on Cap2 at first, thought it was time wasting.. But that's because I thought TASM2 would be 10 out of 10 THE cbm of the year for me, trailers promised an action packed movie. I mean you have three(!) supervillains ffs, no shortage of fight scenes! Instead what I got was basically a love story with little action... "Most action packed love story" my ass.

So after alot of thinking here is my final rating:
85% DOFP
76% Cap2
72% TASM2
(53% Godzilla)

 

[The Joker]

Audience score dropped to 71%.

Ouch. It really has fallen off a cliff. Hopefully the powers that be have taken notice.

As much as I enjoy action scenes, if they had just done a MoS with endless, pointless action then I wouldn't have enjoyed TASM2 as much as I did. I thought we had a sufficient amount of action scenes. It would have been nice to have seen more of the Rhino fight and though I heard that he was only in the film for a few minutes, I didn't expect him to appear right at the end (I was watching the film thinking they'd cut him out!). When they showed Rhino actually charging like a Rhino towards Spidey, that was enough for me, I was satisfied with the ending.

 

[Just one more]

So Spider Man 3 now has a higher score on RT than this movie.

I agree with that, however I thought I was well and truly in the minority so this is quite surprising.

 

[Dr. Remy Lebeau]

It's really unfortunate. This is certainly a missed opportunity for Sony, and everyone involved in making this movie. Spidey will always be a great character and enjoyable to watch, but if he looses the love of the casual filmgoer, it might be the end for our favorite webslinger's cinematic adventures for a while.

RIP Spidey!

I feel like we're in the Joel Schumacher era of the Spider-Man movies.

They need to let Spider-Man rest and take a break for about a good 8-10 years, then pray to God a Chris Nolan type character comes along and gives him a brilliant reboot.

Because right now they have no idea what they're doing and they are just milking him for all that's left. They are driving the Spider-Man character right into the ground along with his film franchise.

I thought asm1 was slightly good and asm2 amazing but I think the problem is that batman before batman beings wasn't really that good where with spider man before asm1 was really good so when batman went form the older batmans to batman begins it was going to be a lot easyer to make a better movie then the past one then is was going to be going form spider man 1-3 to asm1 and asm2.

 

[BatLobster]

Yup, and on top of that they just jumped into the reboot too fast. A lot of people were unhappy with the decision to reboot, even after Spider-Man 3. So people have a much more cynical outlook on this franchise at the first place. It's almost as if Sony is trying to squeeze all of the juice they can out of the franchise before selling it back to Marvel.

 

[LaughingMage]

to everyone who wasn't really a fan of this film, do you guys think it deserves to be this low on rt?

yes!!!

 

[AnneFan]

I don't think it does, but whatever. I walked out happy with the product, along with Winter Soldier and Days of Future Past. The only one I didn't like was Godzilla, which I now rank 5/10.

 

[lukebrodyg]

Ouch. It really has fallen off a cliff. Hopefully the powers that be have taken notice.

Hahahahaha! Whooo, that was good.

You WERE kidding right? I mean...Sony.

 

[The Joker]

The only one I didn't like was Godzilla, which I now rank 5/10.

I still haven't seen that yet. I hear so many mixed things about. Some friends tell me it's really good and I should go and see it, others tell me it was dull and boring.

It's the latter for me, with a really poor human component which dominates the film.

 

[Visualiza]

Hahahahaha! Whooo, that was good.

Oh of course I was. 71% and falling is certainly the benchmark that the studio should be shooting for. Aim high, after all.

I beginning to think that they really are gonna have to reboot the reboot. If they continue you on the track they're on, Sinister six and ASM3 ...forgetta about it.

Its kinda ironic really given that the whole point of the reboot was to go back to highschool and give us a more gritty and grounded spiderman film with the parents mystery being the driving force. However after two films they've pretty much dispensed with all three and killed off Gwen too early imo.

Everything they claimed to want to do when the reboot was announced was pretty much thrown out or ended with a wimper in ASM2 . In that sense we're right back where we were after SM3 with alot of options taken off the table and alot of corners that storylines have been written into. However there can still be a good ASM3 but the creative team's gotta go imo.

I agree, and it's even more frustrating right now than it was back in 1997, because the average quality of comic book films in the late 90's was really poor (Spawn and Steel, anyone?). Right now, we're living in a time where movies like Spider-Man 2, The Avengers, The Dark Knight, Iron Man 1, The Winter Soldier, and X-Men: Days of Future Past are making their marks and setting the standards for audiences. To watch a perfunctory product like this for a superhero that was once at the top of his genre only 10 years ago is infuriating to me.

I mean, I know there are some who really enjoyed this movie. Good for them if they got something out of it. For me, though, the more I think about this movie, the more my hatred grows for it. And I don't like that feeling at all, especially for a Spider-Man movie!

I think the best thing right now would be for Spidey to take a long break, but that's obviously not in Sony's playbook right now (and it can't be in their playbook if they plan to keep their rights and milk this dry cow even more). Ignoring future films in this franchise right now is in my playbook, though. Hopefully it's in other people's plans as well, so Sony gets an even clearer message in the future.

oops... just repeated what you said.

 

[LizardMan07]

I haven't really seen much from anyone as to why the film was a dissapointment, it's always pretty general stuff, but I'm yet to see a detailed view as to why the film was a dissapointment, and why people would be mistaken in enjoying the film. Most of the time the complaints don't really do it for me.

These movies are far superior to those batman movies from Schumacher, that's how I see it.

I think people have said plenty of times why? I don't feel like repeating myself again. That the complaints don't do it for you doesn't really make the complaints less valid.

Oh sure, but as I said, it hasn't been that detailed, nobodies really gone THAT in depth as to why the characters were weak, or the story didn't work thematically, or the themes themselves weren't great. I feel the negativety on these boards has made it so that we aren't getting a discourse back and forth as the to real, core reasons why the film didn't work, and it makes me kind of sad.

I wasn't invalidating the claims, I was saying that I hadn't seen how the logic behind some of the complaints intertwines together to somehow deem the film a failure. That's my perspective however.

It's fine if you don't want to repeat yourself, I don't recall asking you to.
