The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 General Discussion - Part 6

[AF3619]

You're saying a film that tries to become "bigger and better" backfires, and yet your examples are mostly the third films in a franchise(except for Iron Man 2...that I'll agree with that backfired, but that was all because of the MCU wanting to shove S.H.I.E.L.D. down our throats), but TAS-M 2 is what it is...only the second film. X2, Superman II, Batman Returns, Spider-Man 2, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, The Dark Knight...these films are the sequels to the first installments and did not backfire. I doubt TAS-M 2 will backfire as well. The third films, sure, most of the time they do backfire, BUT...The Dark Knight Rises sure didn't. Too much acclamation the film has received to say it had backfired.

true that
and we all hope that TASM 2 isn´t the next Iron man 2

No, I said a director who just want to make bigger movie, as in, more villains, bigger explosions, more action up the wazoo and more unnecessary characters. This was the case for me with IM2, SM3 and TDKR.

But once again, that ideology doesn't make any sense when talking about just the sequel. Iron Man 2 is really your only example to back this up.

The over-whelming majority (fans/critics/GA) prefer TDK over TDKR. That's my point.

VERY debatable. While some can view as TDK to be the best of the trilogy, TDKR still has some very high acclaims from the GA and critics both, as well as TDK and TDKR both being in AFI's Top Ten List, making Nolan the only CBM director to have two films inducted.

Fans, of course, you will see many fans disliking TDKR, calling it the worst of the trilogy or even just hating it, but GA and critics say otherwise.

and we all hope that TASM 2 isn´t the next Iron man 2

Agreed.

Tobey is just a bad distant memory at this point.

You're a bad distant memory at this point.

Not the sequel per say, but the fact that most directors keep going "bigger" with each film. I just don't like the trend. I enjoy the smaller film over the forced studio looking bigger film. TDKR, SM3 and IM2 fits this category.

didnt mean to insult your crush tobey, my bad. yes i did he sucked. horrible performances.

[Whiskey Tango]

Yeah that's pretty trollish.

 

[Doctor Who]

Day #36, the armory

 

[TH29]

Yeah that's pretty trollish.

how is that trollish? IF I THINK TOBEY SUCKED, and im certainly not alone, I AM GOING TO SAY IT. If any of your feelings are hurt over it, oh well. reevaluate your internet usage. its full of opinions. If he wants to come in and say "no i disagree, because..." then by all means, but he wants to be a smartass, i could careless about his opinion. I think tobey sucked in retrospect and I am glad hes gone and I will speak my opinion on it, if that hurts some of your sensibilities oh well, I hate alot of your opinions too, so we can be even now!

 

[ThePhantasm]

Its not so much your opinion as the way you are expressing it.

Also, the phrase is "I couldn't care less." Saying "I could care less" implies that you do care.

 

[TH29]

so him and his comment is okay, but mine is the offensive one?

damn it, i hate the couldnt care less, could, thing.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Come on, man, you came in here and made a random slam on Tobey in a thread that wasn't discussing him. This in a forum where ugly Raimi vs. Webb fan wars happen all the time. Its not worth it.

 

[AF3619]

come on guys , Stop the Raimi vs Webb stuff , can´t we all enjoy both?

Spoiler

 

[WarriorDreamer]

come on guys , Stop the Raimi vs Webb stuff , can´t we all enjoy both?

Apparently it's humanly impossible to enjoy two different takes on the same character.

 

[TH29]

its not i like batman and batman begins.

you know what would make me really mad , if Marc posted in april 1st "meet Electro" and is a guy in a cheap Electro costume or something like that

I'm not really looking forward that much to seeing Electro's look tbh. They already said it's nothing special, just a slick black suit and a glowing blue face

What I really wanna see right now is proper full body pics of the new costume
