It was a good movie and thats it, it was a good movie. Nothing really amazing about it. I just dont like the whole parents thing at all, I thought I could try to like it but I just dont. The action scenes are great and the way spidey moves is the best we've ever scene in a spidey movie. They have the spiderman character down to a T in terms of how he should act and I like Garfield way more than maguire as I feel that garfield doesnt complain as much and enjoys being spiderman.

Yes the chemistry between Gwen and peter is the highlight of this film actually and thats what saddens me. The highlight of the film should be peter and the villians and not the love story. Electro was a very weak villain but man was he cool to look at even if the last fight scenes looked very video game.

Oh boy. Harry osborn. Dane is a great actor and if they were to make his skin green and put a purple hat on him he'd make a convincing goblin. He got the laugh and the voice right he just looked to much like a crack head.

The ending of this movie is the most inspirational ending in any superhero film. You can say this movie sucks but the ending is definatly telling you "With great power comes great responsibility" without even saying it. Its a fun movie and kids and the GA will love it but I just wanted a little bit more. Im just sick and tired of Spiderman getting the third wheel to the likes of thor and hawkeye.

Maybe if they didnt rush so much and try and build a universe for a solo hero franchise it would of been better. All this talk about sinister six and venom is like telling the people "hey i know spidey isnt in the avengers but we are basically we are gonna do the same thing marvel is doing".

Like I said its not a bad movie a all it just could of been so much better. if they would of focused on the villains and not the whole parent mystery thing it would of made for a better film.

Still a tearjerker and still an great comic book film thats entertaining and a good start to the summer but it aint the definitive spiderman movie. I'd rank this under sm2 but only because of the powerful ending scene and the gwen relationship.

Well said.

But even the parents thing kind of gave me a lump in my throat.

I'm just a sentimental sap I guess.

One thing this movie is NOT about is Uncle Ben, its all about Uncle Capt Stacey.

If you're an Uncle Ben fan you're going to hate this movie.

Kara80 & Iron20 you guys hit the nail on the head. I have pretty much the exact same reaction to the film. Garfield gets Spidey give him a proper movie to "make it his own." Reduce the noise by reducing all the clutter. I get Pete has a lot going on in life but Gwen and May would have been fine with Goblin as the villain. When they start overloading the movie it's like following a bended noodle, the movie is all over the place.

The relationships in the film (Gwen, May, Harry) and Spidey moments made the film enjoyable and kept it from being a big ole stinker.....

Considering how great Spider-Man as a character was, I actually think expanding this universe could be a good thing, because then we get a chance to see Spidey, more as Spidey alone and not Parker. If you've got a cool villain-centered film, where Spidey primarily appears to fight them, it could be magnificent, playing to the franchise's apparent strengths.

A second viewing will certainly help me make a more final decision, but even after only 1 viewing I have a much better feeling about ASM2 then I did TDKR/MOS/IM3.

Its just a better movie than those 3.

The ending just makes up for everything negative in the movie.

I wonder if DiFabio had a seizure during Gwen's "hope" speech.

I'll take a 55% chance of hitting lotto.

55% doesn't seem so bad now does it.

Raimi retains his throne:

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 got off to a strong start yesterday, though it was a step down from previous installments in the esteemed franchise.


The fifth Spider-Man movie—and second in the reboot series—earned an estimated $35.5 million on Friday. That includes $8.7 million from late Thursday shows. That's not quite the biggest opening day of the year so far, as that honor still belongs to last month's Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($36.9 million). It is almost identical to the first Amazing Spider-Man, which earned $35.9 million on a Tuesday (that includes Monday night previews).


It fares much worse when compared to the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies, which had two outings open on the first weekend of May. The original opened to $39.4 million in 2002, while Spider-Man 3 earned $59.8 million in 2007.


There are still a wide range of possibilities for the weekend. On the low end, it could following Iron Man 2's pattern and wind up with $89 million. The high end is Thor: The Dark World's pattern, which would put it at $95 million.


It will likely do above-average business with family audiences, though that may not be enough to combat so-so reviews (55 percent on Rotten Tomatoes) and word-of-mouth ("B+" CinemaScore). Our best guess is that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 finishes the weekend with around $93 million.

Watched ASM for only the second time tonight and now I feel like I need to give 2 another shot.

After tonight my rankings would change a bit from what I put in the 'Rate the last movie you watched' thread.

Before tonight I had it:

SM2
SM1
SM3
ASM
ASM 2

Now I'd put it:

SM2
SM1
ASM
SM3
and not quite sure where ASM2 would go, as I said I need to see it again after having rewatched ASM1.

I think you need to watch Spider - Man 3 again because that should never be ranked higher then anything

For me

SM2
ASM 2
ASM
SM


SM3

Now having said that, I feel that SM2 is the best SM movie but I thought the character of SM was done best in ASM 2 and is probably why I enjoyed it as much as I did. I thought his movements, his jokes, his personality, and his costume all nailed SM perfectly. The Film itself sort of felt like.... Just another SM movie.... Good but not great. Lots of room for improvement. They really should have just focused on the Goblin as the main villain. I think you would have had the perfect Spider man movie then.

I should also point out that I am not a big Spider man Comic reader. He is like Superman in the Marvel Universe to me. I love when he shows up in other characters comics but don't really enjoy his own comic series.

you didn't care that it was so short?

He's going to be in more movies, but the important part was the act of spider-man returning, the battle didn't matter, it's the one part of the film where the writers got it right. Action should serve the story, not the other way around, and that's why I liked that scene so much, it's the only part of the film that gave me goosebumps or made me feel something.

So that was my original ranking. I elevated ASM 1 last night after watching it again and realising that a significant enough amount of my dislike was simply due to reboot resentment. I still couldn't put it above SM 1 as an origin movie though. It was too slow and the suit was a bit crap.

I guess growing up in Genosha, the blowtorch activity could be a 'standard' Saturday night.

Sick child Friday, so I haven't seen this yet, but with your and JYE's opinions I have a feeling this is going to be a strong movie for me. Ive read alot of bad reviews the last two days, but sometimes good flicks just get crap reviews. It is what it is.

 

[Biojex]

Maybe I missed it, but was there any indication that Peter was still on the hunt for Uncle Bens killer? Or was it completely abandoned??

Yea it wasn't even mentioned as far I know.

Saw this again today I enjoyed it but the problems are so clear movies a mess but enjoyable .

Ok. Thought so. I hope it pops up. It seemed oddly absent here. Though enough was going on that I didn't really notice it until after the fact.

 

[a-dev]

Can a mess of a movie really be enjoyable? I mean if I enjoy a film, chances are I didn't notice it was a mess.

 

[krec9]

Certain scenes are enjoyable that's for sure the the tone of the movie is a mess it doesn't know what it wants to be .does it wanna be a dark movie very light for kids a teenage drama the characters rushed .

He was too busy with Uncle Stacey's Force Ghost.

But what are you going to do, Raimi's Spiderman had MJ hanging off a bridge instead of Gwen and Harry on a flying scooter board.

The entire series is a mess.
