The Amazing Spider Man 2 (2014)

[Rorywan]

If we are just talking about Spider-Man movies then my rank would be:

SM2
ASM2
SM
ASM
SM3

ASM2
ASM
SM2

Nothing else makes the grade..

 

[Kibagami]

They should just bring this guy back for Jameson. Just cause.

It still bonded to Peter for a long time though. Like I said earlier though, the enough cut is most likely what Peter thought would be cool. In the McFarlane stuff, the symbiote also made him do cheesy things as well as make him angry and such. To be fair, he was more violent, like with Eddie and he did hit MJ. I would also like to see him being able to change his clothes at will with the suit. Go full on with it.

Didja guys hear how they want the Venom movie to appear without Spidey in it? I'd hope they give Peter the black suit eventually since that's how Venom even gets Spider-Like powers in the first place.

 

[Darth Zangetsu]

ASM2
ASM
SM2

I liked SM more than ASM. But yeah I would agree SM2 and ASM2 are the cream of the crop.

Hopefully they set up the symbiote and black suit in ASM3. Having a Venom movie before Pete evenwears the black suit would be dumb. Plus I want a comic comic accurate portrayal of the black suit.

I think SM2 is the best Spidey flick because it had a great transition of comic to film of any Spidey yet. That said, ASM2 would be either second or third in the ranking. Personally, I'd like Garfield to have a film like SM2 as I think he captured Peter /Spidey very well in this film. Better than any Toby film....

Yup.
2 movies without JJJ, what a diaper load.

Not that it would ever happen, but if they re-shot Spidey 2 with Garfield/Stone I would die a happy Spidey fan. Of course they have to retain Molina and Simmons in that perfect package as well...

Seeing how the general consensus is working up to a sinister six storyline, I doubt he'll get a shot. Too many villians will detract from a good cohesive film IMO. I found this film one villian too many (electro) which would give film more focus making it better.

I would love this!

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

It's funny out of all the actors and characters in Comics, J.K Simmons as J Jonah Jameson is pretty much the only one everybody agrees is Perfect.

I'd say it's partly to do with such an excellent portryayel that you forget it's a Man acting like another Man but also that JJJ has been pretty consistent throughout the years and there's only one (616), whereas others can be one on many versions and ofo different ages of comics.

Review - 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' Is The Spider-Man We've Been Waiting For

I’m a bit tired of having to tell you all to just ignore negative reviews that seem to be about an entirely different film than the one under review. But, here we go again…

I’ll keep it short and simple: The negative reviews are only correct to the extent they merely reflect those writers’ personal lack of enjoyment of The Amazing Spider-Man, but are otherwise unrelated to the reality of the quality of this film. And they’re definitely unrelated to the likelihood *you* will enjoy it, dear readers, because I’m pretty sure most of you are going to love it. But before I get into the nitty gritty of reviewing the film’s content (but avoiding any significant spoilers, don’t worry), let’s get into the nitty gritty of its box office prospects first....

 

[a-dev]

They should just bring this guy back for Jameson. Just cause.

They could (sorta like how Judi Dench stayed on as M even though Craig's Bonds were a reboot) but they ****ing won't. It won't even occur to them.

 

[bastedham]

Spoiling the ending would be like spoiling uncle ben or bruce wayne's parents murders....

 

[sifu74]

Just finish watching this, am I losing my memory or did some of the trailer's scenes not in the movie? I thought Harry shows the files on the table to Peter and says "you have been watched your whole life?" And what's with the middle credit scene? What does that have to do with anything Spiderman? It's not even the same company making the movie.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Your memory is fine, there were a number of scenes that didn't make the final cut and some scenes from different takes.

 

[The Amazing Spider-Man]

Spoiler

Watching Gwens head hit the ground like that was not what I expected to see. I thought it was pretty brutal.

 

[bastedham]

Welp, here is what I thought.

1. First scene: Yep. We're in Kurtzman & Orci blockbuster territory, alright.

2. Paul Giamatti!

3. So, Jamie Foxx is basically playing Jim Carrey as The Riddler from Batman Forever. How. Lame.

4. Huh. CAPTAIN STACY WAS A BIGGER INFLUENCE ON PETER THAN UNCLE BEN WAS.

5. Moments between Garfield and Stone are decent because they seem genuine, but the territory covered by their relationship is the same that was covered in Raimi films.

6. Damn. The pacing of this movie is all over the place.

7. Harry Osborn, emo-style. In the comics, Harry Osborn slipped into illegal narcotic abuse to deal with his demons. Here, he dresses in black and slicks up his hair.

8. You know, one thing I will say is that they get the 'movement' of Spidey pretty right. His agility, etc. And the quips! Those are pretty on-point as well -- BUT since Peter Parker seems to be just as confident outside of his costume as he is inside of it, the whole element of the quips symbolizing the 'freedom' that Peter feels inside of the costume is completely lost.

9. Ah! A decent little Spidey moment here -- Spidey saving a kid from bullies, complimenting him on (and fixing) his mini wind turbine, and offering to walk him home so no other kids mess with him. That actually warmed my heart a little bit. Did not expect that.

10. Man, Marc Webb has no sense of pace. Some of these scenes drag on WAAAAAAAY too long.

11. I give him an A for effort, but Garfield just isn't Peter Parker, but he IS Spider-Man.

12. Already nearly an hour in and we're still introducing characters, still giving exposition. Still wondering what the hell this movie is about.

13. Chris Cooper just for that one scene? That's it? Waste.

14. 'Smythe'. 'Felicia'. Wink-wink.

15. There is an ENORMOUS amount of slo-mo/bullet time in this.

16. Today, I learned that Spider-Man is faster than an electrical current.

17. Electro, as done in this film, is extremely uncompelling.

18. The idea of having all of Spidey's world under the Oscorp umbrella it's dumb.

19. He's not setting the screen on fire or anything, but this Dane Dehaan kid has some chops.

20. Damn. I guess having and extremely showy battle between Electro and Spidey isn't enough -- we need to throw in a near-miss between two commercial planes just to be safe.

21. Behold the Green Goblin...again. Still not all that cool. Why can't they get this character right?

22. Well. One of the most important elements of the Spidey mythos has made it into a film. *This* film. Way to render it mostly ineffectual, guys. What. A. Waste.

23. I wonder how Gwen's death was explained to the cops...?

24. Why is Harry Osborn not telling people who Spider-Man is?

25. Paul Giamatti!!!! Wait...no. It was him for like three seconds.

26. AAAAAND that's it. We see no fight between Spidey and Rhino. Come back for the sequel.

No to all of this.

16. Today, I learned that Spider-Man is faster than an electrical current.

Hasn't he always been?

Yes to all this.



And welcome

they are actually thinking about it.

there was an interview where they were talking about bringing the character back and wondering if they could get the same actor

you should definitely send this to that "EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG WITH" page on youtube

this basically sounds exactly like one of their videos

I was really thinking about not seeing ASM 2 last night but I went ahead and took in an early show today. And I'm glad I did. It was actually a pretty damn fine film at the end of the day. I really want to see it again too. I'd give it a solid 8/10. Garfield and Stone's performances and their chemistry was superb and made the film. For two and half hours they really were Peter Parker and Gwen Stacey.
