Its pretty easy to see why ASM 2 gets hate. It was panned by critics, the villains were awful, bad musical choices , It wasn't even so much a Spiderman film as Sony's "Lets try to incorporate every popular franchise at the moment" film, the film didn't make as much money as even the last one did etc. In the end , Sony basically ended the franchise themselves by writing it into a corner. With Norman and Gwen dead, basically resolving the Richard Parker mystery, and tieing the rest of the Rouges gallery to Oscorp, and. Those spell "This franchise is over". Its no mystery to me why it got such a negative reception and why its over.
Garfield and Stone were good , and had they not been in the film, then it probably would have been worse.
Agreed, TASM 2 is awful...just awful. Complete cash grab and a disgrace to Spider-man.

I agree, I thought everyone had already accepted this, I guess not![]()

Yes, because people are not allowed to like something that a lot of people dislike.![]()

I like many terrible movies but I know they're terrible and I can see why many others hate them![]()

To each their own, then.
I love TASM2 and you hate it, simple as that.![]()

Yep and I have several reasons as to why I think its terrible, which is why is wierd that some people to this day still don't know why others didn't like it, or worse trying to justify it by saying "it wasn't meant to be too good so its okay"![]()
Oh, I know of the flaws and a lot of 'em bug me and I consider SM2 to be the better film, but TASM2 made me feel like I was reading a comic book plastered on the big screen.
For that reason along with numerous others, it still comes out on top, personally.

Seesh went here first before other thread. And right now for me my picks are tom or charlie. Mintz lewis and plummer don't have look and I don't know there skills.
As for asa I would take him over mintz lewis and plummer. But he would be 3rd under charlie and tom. So rooting for tom and Charlie right now.
Who mean like nobody would expect that Super 8 kid Joel Courtney to get cast. He seemed to have a bright future ahead of him but just vanished away. Could he get back in the game with Spider-Man? Should he? Does he deserve it?Isn't really anyone a contender at this point? I wouldn't be surprised if it were neither Asa or Tom. No one expected Garfield, no one expected Cumberbatch, no one expected Pratt, I mean, if we should be ruling anyone out it should be the people who are front and center. They're always the smokescreens.

every Marvel movie ever has been more of a cash grab than TASM2. The Peter/Gwen love story is better than any in a CBM ever, hands down, not even debatable IMO. For that reason alone it's better than most other CBMs
I would take a movie that reaches for the stars and tries to do really incredible things that ends up with a few "flaws," than a by-the-books GA pleaser that does nothing extraordinary, keeping it safe and ensuring there are no "flaws" (literally ever Marvel movie ever made. Not bad at all, but could/will never deliver some of the scenes we got in TASM2. Peter/Gwen, Peter/Aunt May, I literally cried during them. Never have even come close to getting misty-eyed in an MCU film. And truly not trying to bash the MCU. I just hate how everyone thinks their movies are of such a higher quality than everything else when they just aren't at all)
I also love this term "flaws" too. Like it's the defining characteristic of any movie. How many "flaws" did this/that movie have, like it's something you count and tally up at the end, and that determines what movie's better than another. When did that become the measuring stick? Especially when it's subjective. One person's 'flaw' might be another's favorite part
Charlie Rowe is the perfect Spidey imo.
