The Amazing Spider-Man 2 With Great Sequel Comes Great Lounging - Part 7

[Perry9]

Yes, 15 minutes is a lot I think, and it's not just 15 minutes in a row. You probably get 2 minutes of Max in the beginning (getting saved by Spider-Man), another 2 minutes of him at Oscorp talking to Alistaire, then 3-4 minutes here and there of us seeing his obsession growing with Spider-Man. Then boom--he becomes Electro!

It's certainly more than Doc Connors.

One thing I have to give the reviewers is that they have managed to curtail my expectations which were pretty unrealistic in the first place. It would make me enjoy the movie more.

I am glad they cut out

Spoiler

Norman's head. They would have written themselves into a pretty tight corner if they tried that. Now it would be easier to bring him back into the fold.

I need 7 to posts a review...

 

[Eggyman]

I thought 7 was stateside?

Looking at his tweets, it seems that he WASN'T at the premiere yesterday.

 

[JOE]

Well... That sucks.

 

[Eggyman]

Looking at his tweets, it seems that he WASN'T at the premiere yesterday.

I did that last night and he was tweeting whilst the film was playing so yeah, he didn't see it.

Plus, I thought it would be strange since I was pretty sure he isn't UK based.

Which is fine.

 

[JOE]

I'm assuming no one from the Hype went to the premier then lol...

Really?

I always had the impression that SWH was Italian, but lived in the UK.

Maybe. It was just an assumption of mine. Even so, I don't think he saw it. there were tweets of his unrelated to the premier whilst it was happening. Doesn't sound like a Spidey fan. I'd have #OMMFG!!!! trending just by myself.

Aighty.

Yeah, I doubt he saw the movie without telling us.

Will the London City Nights review make its way to RT? Are they a popular site?

 

[JOE]

I've never heard of them, but I sure do hope so...

 

[LizardMan07]

There's actually quite a few really good reviews that won't make it to RT.

 

[JOE]

Which is sad because it needs all the positive reviews it can get before they start pouring in with volume...

 

[LizardMan07]

Are Americans traditionally harsher with reviews? I have heard a few people mention the American reviews are more negative for some reason

 

[Picard Sisko]

Yes, they are. Us Americans are spoiled with our Hollywood movies, and our critics can be pretty harsh.

 

[JOE]

Look at TWS. It was in the mid 90's with overseas reviews. As soon as it hit the US critics it dropped 5%. Not as bad as I thought it would, but still a drop.

 

[LizardMan07]

I would be so happy if TASM2 only dropped 5% from where it was right now!!

 

[Picard Sisko]

If it was right at 80% then that would be fine with me.

 

[Spider-Ock]

Look at it this way. If some of the more positive reviews do not make the cut, the negative 3/5s won't either.

 

[JOE]

It dropped 5% after all the oversea reviews had landed, or most of. We won't be at that point until a week or so from now.

 

[Spider-Ock]

If it was right at 80% then that would be fine with me.

I just want it to remain where it is right now in the long run

Good to hear. If the movie is as good as the soundtrack, we'll be fine.
