Re: <> The Amazing Spider-man 2 - OMG Photo Review <>

The film is far from perfect but I don't think it deserves the level of hate its gotten from most people and actually find it somewhat underrated. The biggest problem is the villlains are overall fairly weak, but Spidey himself was pretty cool and we got some decent focus on the relationship between Peter and Gwen which I didn't mind. To me
Gwen's death
felt a bit rushed and like the filmmakers just threw it in for the sake of doing so, personally I'd probably have waited on that at least one more film but it was done in a way that was fairly true to what happened in the comics. Overall I'd say it wasn't anything really memorable but not really the piece of crap that a lot of people made it out to be.

Also nice pictures by the way! I had this on order and cancelled but am now considering re-ordering. :slap

That spoiler is so iconic and if you read the comics it was supposed to go down like that, cause Spidey thought he was cocky and a hero, boy did he get a reality check, and I think that changed him into a hero after that, so to change something so iconic is like changing the whole uncle ben speech.

Uncle Ben NEVER said "with great power, comes great responsibility." In the comics, though. That's what cracks me up. They started giving Uncle Ben that line when the Ultimate verse was launched. I dunno, I wasn't at all a fan of the Gwen/Peter relationship or *spoiler* in this film.

Was this the material used for the Spiderman3 version, just curious? I hope it doesn't sell out fast, looking to get this but I'm going to wait on some bonus perks like double rewards or free shipping or both. The first one is still available but this one looks much much better, especially with the new mask/visors/eyes/whatever.

Looks good. Relatively low on the priority list for me at the moment though.

The red was, the blue appears to be either from the MOS figures or the first ASM.

I mostly meant that in the context of the film it felt tacked on though. Like they did it because fans were expecting it or something. There wasn't really any build up to it, just Harry was upset that he couldn't get Spidey's/Peter's blood to cure himself and went on a rampage. I think if Harry/Goblin was more established as a Spidey villain it would have been more effective. What I'd have done was have them clash a bit in this film like they did and then make him the main villain of the third film and then have her killed off in the climax of that film instead. The way it happened Harry barely figured out that Peter is Spider-Man and that Gwen is his girlfriend and killed her in less than ten minutes. To me it felt anticlimactic.

It sort of happens the same way in the comics too. Norman suddenly gets his memory back, decides he has a bone to pick with Parker, and goes after his girlfriend and tosses her off a bridge.

At least in the comics though there was a prior history between Spidey and Goblin. In the film it was hardly anything and it just happened.
 
I'm totally confused is this the Hot Toys version? or who is the manufacturer? If it is HT then is has different texture than the photo at SST

Yes, this is the Hot Toys version. They made a change from solicitation to production. You won't be able to get the same version shown as a prototype on Sideshow's website.

Stretching Gwen's death til the 3rd film would have been too much and it wouldnt work.
I actually give credit to the director for waiting til the 2nd movie to kill her off. Since I know she will eventually die, I was expecting
it to happen in the first movie.
Also, I though it was smart for the director to cut off all of Mary Jane's scenes cause it would have diminished Gwen's death.
Cause in some ways, most people would think...oh its sad that she dies but at least Mary Jane's there.
By her not appearing there, it made Gwen's death have more impact.
So if you dont kill her character off til the 3rd movie, that means 3 movies of no Mary Jane. That's stretching it too much.
 
Re: <> The Amazing Spider-man 2 - OMG Photo Review <>

Hot Toys. They updated the texture of the red due to complaints.
 
Re: <> The Amazing Spider-man 2 - OMG Photo Review <>

This movie didn't deserve all the harsh criticism, just like Winter Soldier didn't deserve all the raving praise.
 
<> The Amazing Spider-man 2 - OMG Photo Review <>

The thing is, with the whole "at least Mary Jane's there" thing did happen in the comics and actually was the one who helped Peter get through Gwen's death when it happened as they were all friends. She was also the one who helped Peter realize he had to keep going as Spider-Man. I think they could've kept the MJ scenes in the film since it worked in the comics well.

I did like that they actually had the balls to kill Gwen off but

Still agree with Mike there about the whole Goblin situation. He as pretty much shoehorned in there just for her to die.

Damn now this figure is an insta buy
 
Re: <> The Amazing Spider-man 2 - OMG Photo Review <>

Cool. Nice to see that HT can change stuff pretty significantly from proto to production. Looks very nice now. Shame about the timing. I'd pick Spidey up if I didn't know there's a boatload of HT Star Wars coming down the pipe.

I'm in the same boat: R2, 3PO, Han, Chewie and more to come... leaves no room for much else.
 
Re: <> The Amazing Spider-man 2 - OMG Photo Review <>

SOOOO glad I kept my PO for this. Well worth it. :rock

Nice pics as always, OMG.
