The Amazing Spider-Man 2: what did you think?
-
I loved it! The Critics hated it. I’ve read the comics and I think the movie was marvelous.
-
Personally I really enjoyed the film as a whole. Especially the slow motion portions when you were literally right behind spidy during some of the action/battle/chase sequences.
They really captured for me how light hearted spiderman was with his quick wittiness during battle. As well during movie the fact that there was actually a strong focus on the actually scientific nature of how to defeat the villains (Electro for example), was really well done. Its about time one of these movies highlighted Peter & Gwen’s intelligence during battle!
Overall I loved it, however my only drawback was the after credits scene. It wasn’t an after credits scene at all, simply a clip from the upcoming xmen movies. Which is FINE, but i personally think Sony missed out on a good opportunity to capitalize on a chance to grow cause excitement for the upcoming Sinister Six movie.

As I’ve previously said, I liked it. Watched it twice already (since it’s been out for a week, here on Argentina) and it’s probably my favorite Spiderman movie. It isn’t flawless, but it has two very, very well done aspects: Spiderman (the character and his suit) and the relation between Gwen and Peter. Apart from that (Beware: SPOILERS) that ending… Gwen’s death was really very well done, breath taking. It complety broke my heart, yet again.
So yeah, even though the pace was not the best and it could have got a little bit more of action, it was pretty good, overall. Looking forward to the sequel.Oh, and about all the hate it’s getting. My take is that it’s because two main reasons:
1) This new franchise happened way too soon after the Raimi’s trilogy ended. So people still got Maguire stuck in their heads as the wall crawler.
2) Most of the people (not me included, though) actually like a lot how Marvel and Disney are doing it with their movies, so they would just like to have Spidey thrown in the middle, I guess.
But really, it’s a good Spidey movie, it really is. As I said, not perfect, but still. -
I loved every bit of it. The pacing of the villains as to not have a Spider-Man 3 too many villain problem. The action mixed with slow-mo etc. As usual the critics are full of horse shit.
-
I thought the movie was great. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are in top form. The movie really captured the essence of spiderman(suit,movement,humor). Dane is a great green goblin. My only drawback was Electro, he was too much like Enigma in Batman Forever.
-
The movie was AMAZING. Don’t know what the critics are thinking? Guess that’s why there called critics. It captured the essence of spiderman so well. So I absolutely loved this film. Of course it had it’s flaws once or twice but what movie doesn’t? It was also very emotional at times which I actually enjoyed. It gave the movie a very nice feel. Don’t understand what the critics are saying about it being rushed. I thought it was great
-
Amazing Spider Man 2′ is basicly ‘Iron Man 2’, and as a person what enjoy IM2, i liked the film. Its really fun, expanded their world, fix a lot of things abnd bring some mistakes as well. In general,very cool. And for my surprise, the international markets have the DOFP clip as well with the film.
-
I thought this movie was great. Even when I knew what was going to happen at the climax in the clock tower, it was very shocking to me, which I loved. It was very graphic for its rating.
There were so many nods and Easter eggs too. I loved looking for them. Everything from the inclusion of Smythe to the computer files on Dr. Morbius.
Max Dillon was given a great obsessed character, and Dane Dehaan’s Harry Osbourne was very convincing with his feelings toward his father and Peter. I especially enjoyed his fear of dying. That is a great and natural motivator. Both Harry and Max had major personal conflicts that were unique to each other and well addressed, but only used Spider-Man as a channel to vent their issues on. This made it believable for me.
Even my girlfriend whom has almost no interest in hero movies loved this.
-
I’ve defended this movie since the first one. The first one fell flat for me and most people I know. So walking into this one I was hoping for it to be better. I was wrong. I was in shock at how bad it was. It was so close, it was touching tips with spiderman 3 with the over acting, the cheesy plot devices. Out the three villains the goblin turned out most interesting but only got 4 minutes of screen time. Electors transformation from max to electro was so out of no where. And the doctor Kaufka…holy sh*t…what the hell was that? Some dr strangelove rip off with lipstick? It looked like a scene out of ghostbusters when electro killed him. And Rhino’s overacting. I can understand that they want to have it be more ‘kid friendly’ but they don’t have to go as far as making the characters caricatures. I was really hoping for the best but it just let me down with all the out of place acting and music montages.
5.2/10 -
I LOVED Amazing Spider-Man 2!!! That is how you make an exciting Spider-Man movie that respects the source material while still making it new, exciting, and original. Loved it!
-
It was wonderful. Succinct, moving, and FOCUSED (unlike what many others are saying). This is a coming of age movie that portrays a superhero with very scattered, human issues. Really dissapointed about the plot twist (in a “I’m sad for the character” way, not a “I don’t like what they decided to do with the story” way), but I think it was a necesary shock.
-
i’ve never seen a better movie in my whole life.. except the amazing spider-man 1 off course :P keep it going the actors are amazing!!! emma stone and andrew are amazing <3
-
SPIDER-MAN 3 was way better than this inferior CGI fest. Sad.
-
There is absolutely no comparison between spider-man 3 and asm 2! Although the script was not that great I left the cinema pleased by what I saw.
I think the problem with spider-man is that there is so much to tell that it is too hard to fit in even three movies. Chemistry between Andrew and Emma is so phenomenal that I am curious if there is going to be a love interest in the asm3 or the script will be more focused on the villains (which I hope).
All in all i think this is a movie that does justice to the character and is as loyal to the comics as possible!

I really enjoyed the movie even more than the first one. I love watching Anderw Garfield and Emma Stone. They have great chemistry and Dane Dehaan was good as Harry Osborne. So for Webb’s series is shaping up to be a lot better than Rami’s, which I personally never cared for.
-
i enjoyed the movie,the background score for electro by zimmer was epic!…but there was more of peter parker in this one…and it was bit stretched but well the light humor covered it up…overall it was awesome :D…the cast rocked it :)
-
I loved the film and its expading universe vibe :)
-
I don’t get why alot of people are complaining about this film. It’s definitely better than the first one and is way better than the Toby Maguire Spider-Man films. (The pacing, story, character build up, score and the visual effects) are by far the best out of any Spider-Man movie ever.
And I was going into this movie expecting the worse, cause of most negative reviews.
-
I enjoyed this movie, but was disappointed that we didn’t get to see the real Green Goblin. Harry was always “Goblin-Lite” as a character and the costume was pretty lame. I always thought the idea that the Goblin wore a mask was more in line with the Halloween theme of the character. For all it’s faults, the Goblin costume in the first Spider-Man film was better.
-
The movie was absolutely amazing! You get a really great feel of New York City with this one as well as the first one. The really captured spidermans cutting-edge humor and witty personality. The slow motion in the action sequences are so great. I was on the edge of my seat the whole entire time. This movie is really character driven. I feel like the producers and director are pressing the boundaries of spiderman emotionally and physically. The love story, storytelling, and action sequences are incredible. Personally I loved this film! The best spider man movie yet. I cannot wait to see the amazing spider man 3 and the Sinister Six. Im so excited about whats to come in the future.

I think this was an awesome movie, they portrayed Spidey perfectly from the comics in my opinion. His wisecracking, acrobatic movements and scientific mind was all translated well. The only thing I’m not happy about is the editing team. Apparently they were meant to have a credit scene where it shows Norman Osborne not dead and the Gentleman saying, “Wake up, old friend…”, instead of the X-Men scene. Not just that, I was looking for the part where Harry says, “My father spent more time watching you than me”. That could’ve been such a compelling scene which I was so excited for. And the final editing that annoyed me was that there was meant to be a symbiote teaser where they showed Vulture’s wings and Doc Oc’s arms.
Besides some of the editing, I absolutely loved.

Look, the movie was literally amazing. All I want to know is when the 3rd is going to come out so you speak of making a 3rd

I love The Amazing Spiderman 2 so much, it just feels like everything a spiderman movie should be and all I want it to be, Peter and Gwen’s relationship is special to me because it’s relatable and emotional and amazing.
