The Amazing Spider Man 2 (2014)

[Niltusk]

The web swinging in this one looks quite good. Maybe the best out of all the films. I love the different shots and angles they've achieved while shooting it. It doesn't look nearly as "fake" as TASM or some of the work done in the previous Spider-Man films. It really reminds me of Spider-Man 2 where Spider-Man's movements were fluid and seemed real. That, combined with this suit makes me wonder what they were thinking back in 2012. Should have just given audiences this. Makes me wonder though why the web swinging scenes look so real while the fight/action scenes against Electro or that Goblin look like video game fakery.

I'm not convinced that Peter, the villains or the story is any good, but if I can leave the movie taking only some awesome Spider-Man web swinging scenes throughout the movie, I'll be satisfied. I've got low, low expectations for this one.

Same here. I'm afraid this will end up like ASM for me. I remember how impressed I was after leaving the theatre, the problem was none of the initial "flash and shiny" held up under additional viewings. Thats the entire problem with going with Shock > Awe. It doesn't have that impression on subsequent viewings, so you're left trying to enjoy a hollow candy after you ate the sugar off in the first go round.

I feel like everything stated here applies to The Avengers. I wasn’t a fan TASM, but I thought it got better with repeat viewings.

ASM = garbage

Avengers = not garbage

Lets see where this movie sits between those 2.

I wouldn't call it garbage. Decent at best but not garbage. It was pretty much everything we've seen already and just felt awkward sometimes . I always had hope for it's sequels since they will tell a different tale rather than origin again.

 

[OSCORP]

Yeah but it just sounds cooler to say garbage. It's all about sounding cool and hip!

I agree the sequel has a chance to tell it's own tale. Will it be any good? Will it do it's own thing? May!

No, its called having a semblance of taste.

Not me mind you, I enjoyed FF1.

I'm hoping the Brolectro CG fight scenes are rough because they're just not finished and will match by release.

This is pretty much were I'm at as well with this sitting in last place for 2014's line-up. The only thing this has above ASM is that the improved suit is a step up from the basketball suit and the slim possibility that we'll finally get a humble Parker vs. ********* Parker, after Gwen croaks.

Garbage is Iron Man 3, ASM1 is just underwhelming. It could have been so much more. Iron Man 3 was literally one big joke. In my opinion of course, if you enjoyed it then I’m happy for you.

 

[jye4ever]

I'm warming up to IM3, slowly mind you.

Yea kinda sad really. Its the complete opposite of cool more like a women who cant let her ex go.

 

[Niltusk]

Oh JYE, how dare you have an opinion that doesn't agree with the Webb/Spidey fan club.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Yeah, because he was clearly just stating his opinion. Not trying to get bites with an LOLZy troll comment or anything.

 

[jye4ever]

I feel like Frankenstein being chased by a **** load of ASM fans holding torches.

 

[ironwez20]

Oh JYE, how dare you have an opinion that doesn't agree with the Webb/Spidey fan club.

The spidey/webb fan club huh? This is the spidey thread? Why are the spidey fans always the ones who are doing wrong haha. Its not like they attacked Jye's opnion either.

Oh, you mean like this?:

Why don't you run to DLD and complain about those.

Here comes damage control

 

[jye4ever]

Ok fine, I apologize for calling ASM garbage.

It was trash.
