THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Review; Worthy Of Your Charge?

Iron Man 3 is a campy movie and it ain't that great :p

Cool read @ DEV, glad u liked it!

Have no idea about anything to do with Jamie Fox's personal life but he looks great for the Ultimate version Electro.

I see the Spidey suit looks ten times better than in the first one.

Rhino looks a pile of crap though, but just going by the video clips :p

Being its a SONY movie and not a FOX one gives it brownie points.

Guess I'll see what its gonna be like when I get to see it, just wish they called it ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, coz that's what it is, thanks for the enjoyable read ^5

yeah man,good review!!,this movie has been getting mixed reactions, alot of people on twitter who have already seen it have said its great, loved it, saying its very emotional and engaging throughout, couple have said its just good, couple havent liked it, its getting so many mixed reactions from people,its insane, hopefully my response to the film is akin to yours

GASP! But, comedy doesn't work in CBMs, right?! Well, in The Amazing Spider-Man 2's case, it works a treat.


It does...

If you're a fan of "Not Another Date Movie" humor

@ezio and SpideyPose
As long as you go in expecting a Spider-Man like the character from the comics you should like it.

The film still has Parker stutter a shit tonne though...

LEEEEE-i disagree,i think iron man 3 is a really good film,it has two misplaced scenes of humor for me and maya and extremis could have been fleshed out a bit more but almost all the humor for me works naturally, tony is a narcicisst so he deflects his problems through humor,i love the idea of the mandarin twist.my review on phase 2 so far:


IRON MAN 3
i love tonys arc in the film, him trying to find out where the Man fits in Iron Man in a post avengers world,i love the mystery ,detective plot in the film,i think the humor for almost all of it works(there are two misplaced bits of humor for me but thats it)the plotholes are answered, for example why doesnt tony call his suits in tenessee :because the debris hasnt been cleared from the house, why do tonys armors break easily: they are prototype suits, but i can forgive some plotholes if i am engaged in the story and the characters of a films and that was the case with Iron Man 3 for me,i love the idea behind the mandarin and the twist is hilarious imo and I Love Killian,imo, he is the third best villain in the MCU behind The Winter Soldier and Loki . he is menacing,interesting and fun, he was smarmy and had some smarmy lines that were fun,plus his plan was very interesting and brilliant and his motivation was very interesting in that it was not revenge at all, even tony kind of jokingly says to him that he still isnt pissed about that night and Killian even says how can he be pissed at him, he thanks him but tony is in his way and so he has to kill him,plus he attacks his mansion to keep up the image of the Mandarin,not out of revengeeeeee!!(sorry about that), but his plan is just brilliant:having a puppet leader in power by having "The Mandarin" kill the president, the governemnt would retaliate and Killian would be there to supply his extremis soldiers to then new president who works for him and they would go on a wild goosechase for the mandarin who is Killians Fabrication, Killian would get rich from the profits and have alot of power by having the worlds most feared terrorist in one hand and the leader of the new world in the other, he is manipluating the military industrial complex and its brilliant plus his backstory is great , he was just a naive guy who wanted to make something of himself and who admires tony so much but tony brushes him off at the start,making killian learn about how desperate he was and how if he would jump off that roof at that moment, noone would care about him and he realizes his biggest strength there: Anonymity, so he uses that revelation to fuel himself , gets funding from the military and tony even has a speech about starting with something pure but then come the compromises,those compromises(military research and funding) completely corrupted Killian and even corrupted Maya to an extent(though i wish she and extremis were a bit more fleshed out) and made something of himself, he was created by tony and was tonys dark mirror such as tony is such a public hero while killian loved being anonymous and at the end, he finally accepts his schemes and role by proclaiming that he is The Mandarin(well accepts the title of the mandarin such as told in All Hail The King which i loved) plus i love that at the beginning tony is creating these suits every hour of every day because threat is imminent and he needs to protect the one thing he cares about :Pepper, but she shows she can protect him too by ending Killian plus she needed a bit of payback after Killian basically made her his trophy,the acting is great, the writing is great, the action is creative and inventive, REALLLY GOOD FILM!!!

Thor:The Dark World

Thor The Dark World was a good, not great film, but it had enough good things in it for me to consider it above average, the character relationships between the royal family of Asgard whether it be Loki and Frigga, Odin and Loki and Thor and Odin were great, the thor and loki banter and relationship was well done, the action was very good,the performances were good(for the most part),but my complaints were malekith was a weak villain, i wish they had kept in his backstory and cut kat dennings /the intern and selvigs scenes which imo took me out of the film and were unfunny,more screentime for malekith, less for the other humans, bad call on that marvel,overall, good, fun film

Captain America :The Winter Soldier

i have only seen it once so i havent had the chance to digest it fully but i think this films is near perfect, the character interactions between the various characters is well done, the character arcs are well done, the action and humor is great,my only complaint is that the car chase with nick fury goes on alittle too long,its great,but thats my only comppaint besides some wirework and cg looking really off which took me out for a few seconds but thats it, a GREATTTT FILM!!
BUT THIS IS A SPIDEY ARTICLE, LETS KEEP IT ON SPIDEY!!

Nah it's not that bad. I laughed a coupe of times actually, but still found most of the comedy far too broad.

So a "non cynical, non biased review" is basically a positive review of the film you haven't seen yet...yes?

The sooner Sony stops getting rewarded for crap the sooner they will stop making it

Nice review! I hope I end up loving it too.

^^^words of my father

I just realized my comment rhymed..

@ezio
I think my problem with Tobey as Peter was that I couldn't see him as the Peter Parker I knew growing up. Kinda like how RDJ is Tony Stark ripped straight out of the comics. I like Garfield's portrayal much more

@Spidey5194
Couldn't agree more, loved James Franco as Harry. I was okay with him not being like Harry from the comics as much since he was a lesser character. That said, deHaan was brilliant in this, he played Harry's villainous side much like he did in Chronicle

i don't know who to believe for these films anymore, why can't they just release it all the same day? then we could all agree or disagree whether or not we like a movie? some of these reviews are killing me. not this one, but the other ones, mainly rors and joshs

I JUST WANT TO SEE IT NOW!!!

i dont get the stuttering and shaking complaint at all, he is just an awkward teenage kid to me..ah well..to each his own

Ok @UltimateWarrior, so explain yourself then?

ezio619 @ I'll give u that, I did enjoy Iron Man 3 a lot more second time round but it is the weakest Marvel studios movie thus far in my eyes :p but its a lot better than a lot of other Marvel movies floating about of course.

Damn you could make and article outta that long comment lol.

Yeah I prefer THOR 2 more than IRON MAN 3, still THOR 2 wasn't as good or as epic as the first one.

I've only seen WINTER SOLDIER once too, don't get and never will people that gotta go back and watch it again and again, rather just buy the Blu-ray, which I do. Yeah deff man, CAP 2 rocked, awesome movie...this is what Hollywood should be doing more of, take the damn comic books more seriously and not just turn 'em into jokes for the masses, ofc u can't do that and shouldn't with brighter comic book characters like Superman...

Well unless its a DOOMSDAY movie ; D
