The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - User Review Thread! - SPOILERS! - Part 5

I agree! I'm not sure Nolan would be able to write the more lighthearted and fun side of Spider-Man. The Dark Knight trilogy had some moments but not nearly the same charm a Spider-Man film would require.

They'd write some terrific villains however.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. A Nolan Spidey film would be his best film, but quite possibly the least accurate version of him.

On the other hand, the films we're getting now are the worst Spidey films but the most accurate version of him...

Starting to feel like it's one or the other at this point, haha.

I completely agree with all you're saying except for the last sentence.

I think a Spider-Man film can have, and should have both and still be great. The problem in TASM2 to me is that the humour many times seemed more aimed towards the younger audience rather than all of the audience. They Went too far with the likes of Max Dillon and Kafka etc.

Sure, the tone might become weird when you have a quipping Spider-Man facing off brutal and well written enemies. But that's part of the charm and I think it can work. I think Iron Man is a good example where humour and a well written movie with a very cool villain works. It felt very balanced and had a charm similar to what I'd want out of a Spider-Man film.

You can have both things, the problem is that Sony/Webb think that putting details from the comics in the movie automatically makes them good films and they forget about the quality of the script.

Oh, no, I know that. It was more of a joke, haha. I know for a fact that a film can be both a good Spidey film and a good film film.

 

[Johnny-Oh]

No. The plot of the film is Harry's quest to save himself. The theme of the film is time and to cherish the time we have left (Every important character is dealing with this theme). Peter's story is him dealing with the complexity of his relationship with Gwen and the continued search for answers about his parents.

Ok that's arguably what the movie is about BUT the execution of the things you mention was terrible. Harry's story line was a complete mess on every level. Peter and Gwen's relationship was actually good here but it drags on for so long that that it gets repetitive and boring.

PD: I Liked Dehaan's performance, he had potential to become a good Harry Osborn but it was ruined by the writing.

 

[Johnny-Oh]

Nolan should totally write a Spider-man film.

I would be more interesting on a James Cameron Spiderman film.

Read his script from the 90s.

You'll change your mind.

while about the nolan thing. Hans zimmer has done the music for a lot of action movies but he also did lion king and look how good that was so even though music may be different whos to say that Nolan Nolan couldn't do something different to and it would be a changes to show that he doesn't have to do ever thing dark and that he is can find a balance between dark and light unlike what he has done before.

If they're gonna switch the composer again, I would love Henry Jackman

I fell in love with his music through the Winter Soldier ost, such energy...

[Spider-knight]

anybody know if we're gonna get a ditrector's cut? and also if we are gonna gewt a director's cut of the first film anybody know a couple of films that were originally theatrical then a few years later the director's cut version has been released?

 

[TheWallCrawler]

there has been an awful lot of talk about the directors cut through actors I think

I just hope we get the MJ scenes on the bluray release

mj only had a few scenes because shailene had a bujsy schedule because of the divergent.

speaking of which, who do you guys think should play mj. i think they should get someone pretty AND who can act good because someone like shaliene woodley would get alot of negative feedback lowering their self esteem(seriously, they criticize andrew for bewing british now they ciritcize shaliene for not being hot enough? my sister was pretty and she was one of the people who had a low self esteem based on their looks and if something like that happens to shailene the blood would be on their hands. good thing she won't reprise her role. she could stick to something like illyana rasputin who is also colossus' sister).

 

[Spider-knight]

Marc said they won't be on the blu ray.

obviopusly because shilene only had a few scenes dfue to a busy schedule. so hopefully there would be a director's cut minus sheliene.

also, since the film was originally bootlegged do they contain the version that you saw?

 

[Elayis]

Which is no coincidence, since the writers of STID also wrote TASM2. Orci and Kurtzman shouldn't be allowed to pen blockbusters anymore.

Oh, I'm well aware of that. EVERYTHING they touch is garbage. I think I'm one of the few, though, that not only dislikes Into Darkness but he 2009 film, as well. In fact I prefer the sequel simply because Neo was such an awful villain, and while I think they completely botched Khan, at least you can always count on Cumberbatch.

But I'm getting off topic. Suffice to say, unless there are major changes to how how the third film is created, the only way I'll watch it is through RedBox. It seems like all of the movies I've watched in IMAX this year have been trash (Jack Ryan, RoboCop, 300). Cap 2 was decent but nothing special.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

 

[socool]

Isn't that an oxymoron?

How so? I'm saying as a film, it would be his best, but I don't think Spidey himself would be represented as well as he can be. Think Raimi's Spidey. They were better films than these, but the Spider-Man character wasn't nearly as accurate.

I guess I don't understand what you mean.

I can see a Nolan Spidey film being Nolan's best film.

But a Nolan Spidey film probably couldn't ever be Spidey's best film,given it probably wouldn't be an accurate Spidey.

 

[SpideyK]

Is that Robin Williams?

 

[Human Torch]

Is that Robin Williams?

Are you talking about my avatar?No,that's legendary singer/drummer/songwriter/Genesis frontman Phil Collins.t:

 

[SpideyK]

Oooh. Okay.

Kinda looked like Robin Williams. t:

 

[spiderman2]

lol I thought it was robin Williams to

 

[Johnny-Oh]

You'll change your mind.

It was probably just an early draft, I have more confidence in Cameron than Nolan when it comes to creating an over the top world which is what Spiderman is. Can you imagine Spidey with a clunky fighting style like Batman in TDK trilogy? lol
