51 Questions For THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

what are you cinemasins? only even more annoying?

"51) Why does this movie exist?"



So Sony can keep the rights duh!

A lot of good questions, especially the peter's attitude ones.

@Bekss: CS doesn't own a patent on questioning movies. And thanks!

@Bekss: I'll admit it, I read it with that guys voice too.

I didn't hate the movie, but didn't think it was all that good either. I'll attempt to answer your questions though.

1) We don't

2) Villain stuff

3) Poor Writing

4) Because he's Spider-man. He thinks he's invincible, he has super powers, naturally his confidence would go up in the process.

5) Well, he came to terms with Uncle Ben's death at the end of the first movie when he was listening to the phone message, so it doesn't seem to be bothering him anymore. As for why he's seeing Capt Stacy, it's pretty obvious, so I won't bother explaining,

6) For the gags!


7) No idea

8) He went to go get the fire department, they gave him a firefighters hat so they could portray how everyone (even the emergency responders) love hime.

9) I don't know about gazillion, but I guess it was "unique" to Spider-man's rogues gallery, not cinema in general.

10) He clearly had some kind of mental problem, it wasn't flat out stated, but was heavily implied. With the fact that he had an obsessive infatuation with Spider-man, lack of friends/social skills, trouble maintaining eye contact with people (seen during his conversations with Smythe and Gwen) it's safe to assume he had some kind of problem. He felt betrayed by Spider-man when the Snipers took a shot at him, thinking that Spider-man would protect him/be his friend. Couple that with his (assumed) mental disorder, and newfound powers, that he would lose his mind and go from loving you to hating you.


11) Pretty good. I guess.

12) He seemed like he was leaning to the side, and she was frantically trying to evade Oscorp security. Have you ever been so preoccupied with something that you kind of tune everything else out? Once she presumed she was safe in the elevator, she notice Harry.

13) No idea.

14) His lipstick

15) Well he was in a containment cell that neutralized his ability to absorb Electricity on his own. Remember when Harry shocked him with the Taser? That gave him enough juice to access his abilities. Why didn't he do it at any other point in the movie? Well, his powers probably weren't as developed yet, or something. He probably got an adrenaline rush thinking "I can help someone, I can be a hero!" and pushed himself to new limits.

16) After he said that, Kafka started to run tests on him. I assume part of that was neutralizing his powers somehow. Poorly explained, obviously.

17) I don't think it was meant for Peter to find. It's not like the message on the tape was addressed to Peter. Again, poor writing.

18) I don't think was addressed at all during the movie... Aunt May's financial issues were for paying the mortgage. Not for college.

19) Where would you have put him in the movie? Enough was going on, and in the digital age, why would a photographer really need to go to the publisher, when e-mail and direct deposit are available?

20) To give Gwen something to do.

21) You could say that about a lot of movie villains with "god-like" abilities. Real reason? The movie would be over.

22) Because she's an important figure in Peter's life and that sets up the "drama" of the electricity going out at the end.

23) I think that part should have been left out, but because there are tons of innocent people on the planes.

24) Harry didn't seem like he wanted to kill Spider-man at first. He just wanted to cure himself. When he tried to cure himself with the venom and went goblin-mode he obviously became angry with Spider-man, shifting blame onto him. He knew Spider-man would be fighting Electro at that point, so he decided to come by. I don't think the fact that Electro was dead/the timing of it is necessarily a "plot hole"

25) They did kind of butcher that in my opinion.

26) I think that was to show that he's so in love with Gwen that he'd give everything up just to be with her. Intended to add to the drama when she dies. Obviously his affection for Gwen was a moot point by that time, but I digress.

27) Not sure how to answer this.

28) I don't think listening/not listening to Gwen's Speech would've stopped him from stopping a mechanized rhino shooting up the city. It's not like they have supervillains [frick]ing up the city every day of the week. Again, it's a MOVIE, and it's to make it a feel good moment.

29) Because he was grieving? This isn't the comics. So that's an invalid argument in my opinion.

30) To do villain stuff.

31) I'm sure all will be revealed.

BONUS ROUND:

32) Because he's [frick]ing Spider-man

33) SONY

34) I disagree that it was a 2.5 hour trailer. Really only the last 5-minutes or so was devoted to the Sinister Six.

35) Deception? They thought they could make more money that way?

36) Why not?

37) It seems like they tried to amp up the campiness factor that the Raimi had, but it clearly didn't work at some points.

38) I don't think he's a douce.

39) Again, why not?

40) Poor decision making and too much corporate involvement.

41) I don't think they set out with that in mind.

42) The Raimi movies are extremely cheesy. They just handled it in a way that made it tasteful. They obviously heard complaints from the first ASM movie that it was TOO DARK/GRITTY, so they went in the other direction.

43) I think you're over exaggerating.

44) We don't know what the "crucial scenes" are, you're just assuming.

45) 20th Century Fox had a 3-picture deal with Marc Webb for directing. He bailed on another directing gig to direct The Amazing Spider-man 2. In return, Sony allowed Fox to advertise DOFP at the end of SPider-man 2.

46) I don't think they thought the movie was anything less than amazing. Even then, it's about branding, not about quality. It's so they can differentiate between the old movies and the new.

47) Avi Arad, probably. I don't see how it's "Twilight inspired" is it Peter's hair?

48) Because studios are in the franchise/universe business now. Marvel has outdone every studio when it comes to world building and tastefully setting up sequels, so Sony is trying and failing to compete.

49) You don't think him going to stop Rhino at the end was a function of that?

50) It's about Peter juggling his Spider-man life and personal relationships. Like every other Spider-man movie ever.

51) Because Spider-man is/was a popular character and they'd be stupid not to make Spider-man movies as long as they have the rights.

You have some legitimate points in here, but other questions can be answered if you just fill in the gaps yourself, rather than have trivial information spoon fed to you.

Damn, the criticisms laid out by some people are so easily answerable if you paid attention to the movie rather than consciously thinking of reasons to hate it while in the theater. This is just as bad as Man of Steel.

Really? Well, I think the only actual question here is what exactly were the writers smoking when they created this.

Jollem is not enthused.

This is so accurate that I feel dizzy.

* Movies aimed primarily at the female demographic

I'll try to explain.... I’m not a fan of the Twilight movies at all but I watched them with my girlfriend because she likes them and she read the books. We also watched Amazing Spiderman 1&2 and we felt the same way….

So much of the movie focuses on the relationship between Gwen and Peter and not Spiderman. There’s nothing wrong with that but this is a Spiderman movie. A lot of the other relationships felt the same way.

Plus, everything felt so rushed and extremely predictable, just boring imo

It had that whole,

1. I love you but now I hate you but now I love you again
2. Then, the I’ve been stalking you at least once every day." (Very much like twilight)
3. That's so cute!"
4. Then, that’s so sad….

They made Peter a stalker with an unhealthy relationship.

* I def think the Webb movies were aimed at the female demographic, so there's no confusion, haha. Just my opinion

@darkknight2149: Yeah, I wrote the one on the SWH site, too. Two entirely different demographics. Wanted to see what both sides thought of it.
