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

[dodgers2213]

The movie is ok. There's more bad than good but I don't hate nor really dislike. Just some small things that annoyed me....

New Yorkers. These people are DUMB aholes. They crowd around when an electric firing monster and mech rhino are blowing up cars and murdering cops. Yuck

Spidey has the Mario superstar power up because the guy is invincible. In the first movie the lizard slices him up, he takes a bullet to the leg. Cool, a sense of danger. This movie, bullets fly right through him, little effort to dodge. Spidey tanks electricity bolts. You'd think a guy who controls electricity woupd zap spidey dead, nah, not really. Pumpkin bomb right next to him, pfftt child's play

The Rhino and his MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA curl my stache level of cartoonish villainy. Eh, maybe more funny in a facepalm embarrassing way than annoying

Green Goblin tries to get in on the MUAHAHAHAHAHA bit, but it's more I want to stab myself than funny

CGI done with 1998 tech. Pretty bad

Edit: can't forget Ghost Dennis Leary. He watches you, always

hmm...I think i'll wait for the blu-ray on this one.

 

[dodgers2213]

It's just our opinions. You might like it. Catch a cheap matinee, especially if you're a spidey fan

You should watch this in IMAX. I thought the CGI was fantastic.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Idk in certain scenes the CGI was good, but in some they were just awful. The Slo-Mo power plant being one of the worst.

I'm seeing it this Wednesday in Imax 3D. I really don't care for 3D but I hear it's worth it just for the web swinging scenes.

I already have a feeling I'm not going to like this film sadly. I'll watch a film before I judge it regardless of what the critics say, but when nuuuumerous fans are trashing it all for the same reasons, that kind of goes into factual territory. Mainly about there being no plot. The cheese level of the villains is all opinion of course, whether you thought it was too much or found it to be enjoyable.

Well, i think there are more fans that love it. You should check out the poll thread. And go to the movie with an open mind.

Really? Awful?

Saw a few comments on Reddit that perfectly sum up how positively I feel about the film:

Spoiler

Also, I see that quite a few users on here have not seen the film yet but are viewing and are posting on these threads. I feel like the film's gotten such bad word of mouth and negative reviews from critics that too many people are walking into the cinema expecting to see a really bad film (and if they're already convinced that it's extremely terrible then IMO they should just wait until it's out on DVD and rent it out). It's a shame that people are getting a bad impression of the film before even having seen it.
After the first two trailers were released, I did my best to avoid watching any more footage from the film, released via featurettes, more trailers or clips etc. and I'm sure that definitely made watching the film for the first time a very enjoyable experience (seeing as whoever was in charge of marketing just wanted to pretty much give away the whole film before its release).

Well, i think there are more fans that love it. You should check out the poll thread. And go to the movie with an open mind.

^^ The best thing to do IMO; something that I learnt after hearing the (at first) odd casting news for the MoS sequel with Ben Affleck as Batman and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex and being quite disappointed but then thinking that they'd be pretty badass in their roles and that it's nice that actors were cast that no-one really expected.

I went in with an open mind, having liked the first film quite a bit, and I thought it was awful. So...

Can anyone explain to me what the point of ghost Dennis Leary actually is?

I thought that was self-explanatory? Peter was having hallucinations of Gwen's father to demonstrate the guilt he had over breaking his promise.

hey stillanerd, i've been wondering on what's your take on kafka's death in superior spiderman? i personally didn't like it. dan slott just killed her off for no reason. i don't mind her dying and it did develop ock but the way she was treated was just disgusting. she dies just like some random person

 

[stillanerd]

Aside from getting a easy paycheck? Basically to act as Peter's guilty conscience and silently tell Peter, "Stay away from my daughter!"

Oh, I hated it as well. Especially since, just like Marla Jameson, she was only brought back just to be killed off. Now the Dr. Kakfa in this film on the other hand, what happened to him was the only good thing Electro did.

Yeah I'm aware of that but that plot point disappears for like half the movie and then randomly is brought back up at the end. They should've handled it better or just not have it in the film at all.

 

[Picard Sisko]

They brought in Denis Leary when it made sense to show him.

at least marla appeared more often. i haven't read enough post OMD spiderman comics but was there ever and issue where kafka appeared before he dastardly demise(and by that i meant a real ****** death)?

so mind telling me what kafka is like in this film? i also heard he appeared in a really short time but not enough to avoid the hate on him.

which writers do you think wrote a mature spiderman as in spiderman acting like an adult?

what's your thoughts on dan slott as the writer of spiderman

 

[Harry Dresden]

It would've made a lot of sense to show him when he was watching Gwen or when he showed up at her Oxford interview. All those times made sense.

 

[slimshady247]

Not really. His inclusion was rather random.

Though I kind of liked its inclusion at the end during the Electro fight. One of the few things I actually liked.

 

[Picard Sisko]

I really can't see how his inclusion was random, but whatever.

 

[Joe_Kickass]

It was the most heavy handed way to handle that aspect, even a dream would have been better. "Hey this dude died remember? You do? Well we'll still keep throw him in 3 or 4 more times in case you forgotten. You haven't forgotten at all? No but shut up though, you forgot."
