TWITTER BUZZ: The Amazing Spider-Man

The movie was ok. Lacked the sense of awe and fun that the Raimi films had. The movie dragged a bit and had terrible pacing. The acting was for the most part good but the action scenes were a bit lame and lacked any spectacle (apart from the final fight - though most of that was shown in the trailers). There was also little "untold story". I hope the sequel can at least try to be more original and more entertaining.

So the overral response is 'solid'. Its what I expected.

I thought it was pretty good. It had some flaws that i thought were very noticeable and cringing to sit through, like the lack of a good villain. i really liked the new suit and the relationship between parker and Gwen, but Its no Spider-man 1 or 2, however its miles ahead of Spider-man 3.
B+ in my book.

Whether you like or dislike the Raimi films at least they were memorable. I watched Spidey 1 & 2 on blu-ray tonight and I still feel like a kid again watching my favourite superhero come to life for the first time.

@mrcool210

Dude. Chill. Just cause someone else didn't like it and you did doesn't mean you need to get your panties in a bunch.

@JDUKE I don't think he had any.

@sonofsamadams i would chill but people are looking for the dumbest reasons to hate this movie, seriosuly because he uses bing? i didnt even [frick]ing notice it in the movie

lol @ Rob "I can't draw humans" Liefeld loving the movie. Of course, it makes perfect sense.

Also, what a pandering whore Milla Jovavich is huh? I also highly doubt the "entire theater was cheering" bit that fellow tracked back to her. Nobody gives a rat's ass about Resident Evil except for Paul 'Weak Sh*T' Anderson apologists.

i liked the movie have no complaints it was fun but a lot better then the 3rd one

This movie def would of been 10X better if the score was as good as the Raimi score.

Anyway, I'm finally going to see this later on today in RealD 3D. Can't wait.

Lol so overall Genreal audiences loved it? I guess but this twitter reaction is kinda hard to tell cause a lot of them say it's good but others are just making jokes like " he used bing!" but overall I think it's a pretty solid response. A- CS and 84% on RT I would say its a pretty good movie with the audience sequel will probably be better though.

I liked it

It's sarcasm, people...we need a different font for sarcasm, huh?

Why did Oscorp keep liquid Nitrogen on the roof?...

When Captain Stacey came up to the roof at the end, why didn't he bring ANY back up with him?... (don't say they were turned to Lizards, there were clearly other officers around him)

How did Spidey get off the roof at the end, when Lizard had crushed his web shooters?...

When he threw the football, and it bent the goal post in half, why wasn't everyone who saw him like 'WHAT THE F*#$# ?!!!!!"

Why were there so many actual lizards living in New York City?....

How come there was a Crane on EVERY block leading up to Oscorp, and EVERY one of the crane operators was on duty at 9:00 at night, and not fleeing the city like EVERY other person in the area?...

Why did Gwen Stacey ask Peter if he had a suit for dinner, when no one else at the table was wearing a suit?....

Why couldn't we see the Lizard wear his lab coat for at least ONE fight?.....

Why did Gwen Stacey wear a skirt and knee high boots in EVERY scene (including her fathers funeral probably?)

When Spidey rescued the cars on the Bridge, the one cars gas dripped down into the headlights, thus igniting the car, due to the fact that it was hanging - why did Spiderman leave straight away, while know knowing that this was a possibility with the other cars he left hanging?...

What's the point of giving him web cartridges vs organic, if you never show him running out at some point, effecting him mid fight / while swinging ?

Couldn't we have had a plot (Bad guy wants to disperse chemicals/substance into the air, thus negatively changing everyone in the city somehow) been done enough times in Superhero Movies, and better already?...

@welldrawn

Those are good questions hahah..especially the football post and wishing for the web shooters to run out..

Capt. Stacy could have easily called in for backup with a police helicopter equipped with police officers shooting rapid fire guns.. Lizard woulda been toast for at least enough time to let Spidey switch the serum

@WellDrawn

"Why did Oscorp keep liquid Nitrogen on the roof?..."

The basement was full.


"When Captain Stacey came up to the roof at the end, why didn't he bring ANY back up with him?... (don't say they were turned to Lizards, there were clearly other officers around him)"

He didn't want the other officers to get in Spideys way.


"How did Spidey get off the roof at the end, when Lizard had crushed his web shooters?..."

He climbed down the side, or used the elevator.

"When he threw the football, and it bent the goal post in half, why wasn't everyone who saw him like 'WHAT THE F*#$# ?!!!!!"

They were too shocked to speak.

"Why were there so many actual lizards living in New York City?...."

Lots of people flushed their pets down the toilet.

"How come there was a Crane on EVERY block leading up to Oscorp, and EVERY one of the crane operators was on duty at 9:00 at night, and not fleeing the city like EVERY other person in the area?..."

Major renovation. Chicago kinda looks like that right now. Seemed to me they were getting off work but the worker who had his kid saved by Spidey called in favors.


"Why did Gwen Stacey ask Peter if he had a suit for dinner, when no one else at the table was wearing a suit?...."

She wondered why he brought a bag with him. Thought maybe he was going to dress to impress her parents.

"Why couldn't we see the Lizard wear his lab coat for at least ONE fight?....."

Because it kept getting torn off.

"Why did Gwen Stacey wear a skirt and knee high boots in EVERY scene (including her fathers funeral probably?)"

Its fashionable.

"When Spidey rescued the cars on the Bridge, the one cars gas dripped down into the headlights, thus igniting the car, due to the fact that it was hanging - why did Spiderman leave straight away, while know knowing that this was a possibility with the other cars he left hanging?..."

Because the police were after him.

"What's the point of giving him web cartridges vs organic, if you never show him running out at some point, effecting him mid fight / while swinging ?"

You just mentioned Lizard breaking them. WTF?

"Couldn't we have had a plot (Bad guy wants to disperse chemicals/substance into the air, thus negatively changing everyone in the city somehow) been done enough times in Superhero Movies, and better already?..."

Because this plot actually came out of one of the Spider-Man comics. It was also part of one of the cartoon series.

I think he did run out of fluid. Either that, or the water messed up his shooters -- because I think there was a quick flash during the sewer fight scene where he tried to spin but it didn't work.

It was a great movie! And had everything in it to be a total crowd pleaser! :D
