The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - User Review Thread! - SPOILERS! - Part 4

Yeah, just ignore 3/4 of the forum. Only read the comments you agree with. That's what discussion threads are for. To only discuss why you loved the movie.

Why do you always insist on using sarcasm?

 

[Picard Sisko]

That GIF always makes my day. lol

 

[TayDee]

Something a little more than an out of seemingly nowhere 2 minute scene? Lol just boil it down to:

Peter: We were friends once.
Harry: Yeah.
Peter: Do you wanna be friends again?
Harry: ...I guess.

That's what you wanted to see?

 

[Joe_Kickass]

Funny how you generalizes
I read all comments genious but i don't will reply to all of them.

What?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

What is it that you need to see? Holding hands? Going to Starbucks together?

Because that is the only way to convey significant friendship...

First thing I would have done has been for the two to actually know each other in their most difficult and important years. Not pre-teen friends, who have no idea the kind of person one another would be at this point. I think about how the Harry and Gwen moments would have felt, if this wasn't completely unrelated parts of Peter's life meeting, as opposed to the actually implosion of his personal life.

There is a huge difference between Peter rejecting a ghost from his childhood, and his actual, current, real friend. If the wanted to still go this route, they needed them bonding, spending real time together. Becoming friends again. Not a couple of scenes, and then "bam!", Peter betrayed his best friend. No wonder he is angry.

Because some people take this waay too seriously and personally.

 

[SpideyK]

No you got it. I was trying to keep it going, and failed horribly.

As I said, I thought their reunion scene was quite cute. The uni-brow line being the biggest winner.

Oh, s**t, haha. Okay, glad I understood your reference, after all.

And yeah, the unibrow joke was freakin' priceless. Mainly beacause it was kinda true.

 

[Joe_Kickass]

That's what you wanted to see?

No, that's basically what we got.

 

[SpideyK]

That has to do with post production coloring choices though. Digital is much less tedious and much more malleable than film.

I know it's partially because of color correction and grading, yes.

Still, having handled both film and digital, myself, I've always found film to have much more pop.

I have never looked at Garfield's eyebrows, or should I say eyebrow, before. Then I spent a solid 30 seconds trying to decide if he truly had one or not.

You're on a forum about a comic book character that people are extremely passionate about. Of course people are going to take this seriously and personally.

True, but editing is so much more tedious, especially quick cuts and such which are pretty rampant in modern films. Same sort of arguments with music and such. Pro tools, no pro tools etc.

Doesn't stop it from being a little funny at times. I see those very same people being sarcastic all the time.

Why do we act like we must all be irrational because we are fans of comic book characters? As if this is a free pass or something.

 

[SpideyK]

Haha, really?

'Cause I've been looking at his eyebrows for like 2 years now.

They're really thick, and definitely kinda unibrow-y. Apparenty, Andrew looked himself up online, once, and saw that someone had said he looked like a neanderthal, and he was very offended. So I hope Andrew don't see my posts.

Because I still think he's fabulous, even with the unibrow.

Buuuut, it's definitely there, though.

Yeah, man.

But film all the way.

Them knowing each other longer would've had no change on how we interpret their friendship. The only thing that changes is you just plant in your that they're best friends. It's not as if we're going to see that friendship they've had in the past.

That is like saying the end of Gone with the Wind wouldn't be changed if the entire film that preceded it hadn't occurred. As if the film, the scenes, the characters and they story they convey isn't essential to bringing out those emotions. As if it is enough to simply say, "they were best friends".

It is that kind of filmmaking that gave the world TASM 2.

Hipster, David Fincher doesn't use film :P

Funnily enough, that's what I always thought of B&R.

There's a difference between taking something seriously and taking ownership in it. Been seeing quite a bit of the latter lately.

Never seen the film, so I have nothing to add to that.

 

[Immortalfire]

I liked the film for the most part, definitely liked it more than the first Amazing Spidey.

And hot damn, Spider-Man kept his mask on!!

You're right, he kept that mask on.
