The Amazing Spider-Man 2 With Great Sequel Comes Great Lounging - Part 2

[Green Goblin]

What "contradiction?" The thing about comic book movies is that they're not always the same like the comics. Are you seriously going to tell me that Bane from the Dark Knight Rises is acceptable?

I think the biggest sin is having a bane with no venom (he could punch through a wall though WTF) but it had a Batman that could out run a Nuclear Blast...

Nice work, as always.

Well, saw Man Of Steel and the trailers were pretty good representations of the movie. Overly dramatic, and at times corny. The action was awesome, but the rest was just eh. I would rank ASM above it based on the sole purpose that it didn't feel overly dramatic, and wasn't afraid to add levity to moments. I'd give MOS a 6.5/10 IMO. None of the characters really felt all that fleshed out either.

I didn't find MoS to be overdramatic at all.

I remember that my brother told me that Clark's step-dad told him some of the worst advice ever. Plus, he told me that he died the worst death ever.... And by worst, I mean stupid.

that's awesome! Even when TSSM is arguably better, this is the definitive Spider-Man series for me

Could I get an looped avvy of Spidey's spider-sense going off in that series?

It would be much appreciated.

I didn't think that the overall movie was too overdramatic, but I did think Clark was a little too serious and moody

He also had a really stupid step father.

 

[Green Goblin]

My biggest problem is that it had too much action and virtually no humour

 

[TheWallCrawler]

It was more serious than the Nolan Batman movies imo. It could've still took itself seriously while having more light-hearted stuff

 

[Green Goblin]

Watch the latest Screenjunkies episode, it has a MOS hater vs a MOS fan lol.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

yeah I watched it, pretty entertaining

speaking of entertaining, you know what's not entertaining? the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. Yes I'm fully aware that it's not like I HAVE TO watch it, but when I got nothing else to do I watch it for the heck of it

they actually rehashed their earlier episode completely while being completely aware of this. Earlier there was an episode where Spider-Man and Wolverine switched their minds (like in the Ultimate comics, wow they actually took something from the comics...), Wolverine in Peter's body was acting all weird at school, and Peter in Wolverine's body fought Sabertooth. Now in this new episode called "the incredible Spider-Hulk" they did the completely same thing, Hulk in Peter's body acted weirdly at school, and Peter in Hulk's body fought the Thing. No, there was no twist or catch in it, it was exactly how I described it. Even Donald Duck comics respect their readers more...

 

[Green Goblin]

I don't watch cartoons, not anymore. I can see why people hate the cartoon but at the end of the day it's for kids, no offence... As a kid though I loved MTV Spider-Man (very underrated) and the 90's cartoon.

I don't know what's wrong with people. There are plenty of light hearted moments in MoS.

I mean come on, Superman's reaction to snapping Zod's neck after having just killed (even if unintentionally) thousands of innocent people due to their fight. A lot of Lois' dialogue was eye rollingly dramatic during her voice over sections, and the scene where Clark's (human) dad died just felt so forcefully a heart string moment. And the editing (like ASM) seemed to be everywhere. Also the scene where Supes is reaching for the sun from the beach made me laugh. It was like the movie was trying too hard to be "deep" and "symbolic", everyone was too serious. And Oh my God that "hot" joke in the end wasn't funny at all imo, it also felt forced. Also the whole final scene where [SPOILERS!!!] Superman turns into Daily Planet Clark Kent, I mean he looks so clearly like Superman that the fact no one seemed to know he was Superman just made me roll my eyes. He didn't put on a different persona or anything, he literally just put on a pair of glasses and that's it.

They felt tacked on. The jokes weren't funny, and a lot of felt like a soap opera or something. Also, did you see Metropolis? Jesus, it looked like the freaking apocalypse down there. To me I can see why it's recieved such a mixed reception, it just felt so meh to me.

 

[Joe_Kickass]

Yeah, it was pretty stupid. He could have gotten away, or Clark could have saved him without really using any powers, but no, he just stood there and died to make you feel "sad".

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Aside from Lois, I don't think anyone saw Superman up close. And that's something from the comics, so as cheesy as it is, it must remain.

Superman didn't want to kill, but he was left with no option so he did and he was deeply full of guilt for doing it. Not forced.
Lois was fine.
I thought Johnathan's death was sad, and not forced. It was done like any other death scene of a father figure like that.
The editing was a bit bothersome yes, don't know how that contributes to the overdramaticness of it, but whatever.
Superman was having a dream, and he was sorta dying in his dream. It really wasn't overdramatic at all.

So yeah, I respectively disagree with just about everything you mentioned aside from the editing. I loved it, you didn't. Oh well, maybe it just wasn't for you.

I don't even...

 

[Joe_Kickass]

A lot of the characters just felt devoid of personality to me as well, going through the whole movie with stern faces.

 

[Joe_Kickass]

The whole falling into a pit of skulls wasn't too on the nose or overly dramatic to you? Lol Also [Spoilers!!!] Clark's dad literally just stood there to bring a forced feeling of hopelessness to the audience, when he had time to get away to under the overpass or at least move.

Also, usually in the comics Clark puts on a geeky facade to make people believe that he isn't Superman, while Clark didn't do that at all. He just strolled in with glasses, almost bursting out of his suit making eye contact with as many people as possible. And like I said before, apart from Lois a bit, no one had any personality to them, nothing that made them unique, they all just felt...there. Like that girl who was trapped under the rubble who was in like one scene beforehand, I didn't care really care, and the use or 9/11 imagery to make me care didn't make me
care either. Add on top of that that a lot of dialogue was just so...out of place. Like that whole island thing that Clark's mother brought up, it felt like something someone spent hours thinking of to seem clever, but felt so out of place and random when said in the moment.
