The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Kafka is camp personified. He was worse than Burn Gorman in Pacific Rim, which is really saying something.

As was Dillon and Rhino.

^ I'm really not sure you understand the definition of 'camp', because Max and Kafka weren't campy; exaggerated, maybe, but not campy.

Kafka was kind of exaggerated mad german scientist. I wouldn't mind if she was more of the straight forward sympathetic women Ashley Kafka from the comics and cartoons instead of this who doesn't know much or doesn't approve of the Oscorp experiments.

Max had a serious storyline and it was something I like about him in this movie but giving him a Jim Carrey Edward Nygma type did him no favors leading to some people just view him as that a copy of 3 other characters he barely was like. post Electro he had some campy lines but was more of a serious and dangerous character. If he had a different look and something to do in the second act, maybe people would have treated and reacted to him differently.

Rhino, I didn't mind him. I just couldn't understand him due to his yelling which was my only real problem with the character

TASM2 amplified the mistakes of TASM and made some new ones of its own. TASM was the better movie for me, hands down.

Easily the first one.

At least The Amazing Spider-Man had something original about it - emphasis on real stunts, and an attempt to be more realistic than the Raimi movies.

Amazing 2 just screams, "Wait, come back, we'll do all the Raimi stuff if that's what you want!" So Amazing 2 has a Raimi-style suit, the over-the-top villains, the campy comic relief characters, the 60's Spidey theme...just compare the colour scheme of the two films. Amazing 1 is realistic and shot on digital. Amazing 2 is bright, colourful and shot on film.

I sense the hand of Avi Arad....

Kafka was a little campy, but in an enjoyable manor. I think Max Dillon was a much bigger problem in that aspect than Kafka

I literally cringed when I saw Kafka. To me his scenes were hands down the worse in the entire film otr hell any Spider-man movie ever. Honestly don't see why he was even in the film.

Both were camp, like Marvel's Batman and Robin, almost.

Easily the first one.

I agree completely, it's interesting though that the first one shot on video, looked better visually then this one shot on film.

I completely disagree. Not taking away from the picture on ASM but the visual design/palette was very beautiful in ASM2. It was much better here.
