Red Letter Media's THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Review

F**k yeah! I love these reviews, thanks for the heads up.

I think TASM is a better movie than Avengers so, I do disagree with them.

Overall I agree with them. But nevertheless I enjoyed the movie because of good Spidey scenes. But yeah no need to see it again, or maybe on rental. Nothing memorable, far from being a classic or anything. People give it a pass cause it's Spidey and they were letdown by Spider-Man 3.

YES, it was a heartless cash grab...AND Webb & co. still did a good job with the shitty situation they were given by Sony. TASM was good, could have potentially been great if they did not retell the origin story so soon!

That was their biggest blunder...it's been only ten years since the last one, so ya any teenager could have told you what a dumb idea that was...

@ coolguy - I loled ^^

Personally it was the second best spider-man film. It had a lot going against it and still came out great. Now that all the reboot crap is out of the way the sequel will not be a heartless cash grab and it should be a great film.

I never gave a crap about spiderman 1 and 2 so when 3 came out i loved how ridiculous it was in the same way i love batman and robin as i dont care for burton's bat movies.

this one i prefered as a romantic dramedy than as an action movie which tries to also be a drama and a romantic comedy, so the tone arguement is apt.

a bit like inglorious basterds the silly stuff ruined the great serious stuff for me and the serious stuff bad the action seem out of place.

for me it was fun in places and deep in places but the contrast wasnt done well enough for me.

Hmm, would one of those negative reviews be my own FOUR STAR review by any chance? Make more sense please.

^ btw i wasn't trying to imply that teenagers are dumb or anything, just that they were around when the Original spider-man origin movie came out

I saw this movie twice already. Loved it. I disagree with this review, but I also understand that as regular moviegoers and not just Spider-Man fans, it might be tiring to watch an origin story. For me this was the ultimate reward, because the first Raimi Spider-Man movie told a great origin in the first half, and then was a complete letdown in the second. This time around the movie stays strong evenly throughout.

Meh, I usually love their reviews, but I can't take anyone seriously who says the Raimi movies are better than the TASM. Feels like they're reaching on this one, as their negative reviews are the most popular.

@ chuskito - It didn't. The Lizard stuff was pretty weak. Lack of clear understandable motivations, clearly underwritten character, silly looking facial design, he didn't seem to fit in the movie's attempt at a realistic approach. The movie wasn't strong evenly throughout. The second part where the hero had to tackle the villain were weak for the aforementioned points.

Yeah seriously, they're actually saying Tobey was better than Garfield at the end? GTFO, this review is shite

They don't like much actually. I will admit that they are some of the funniest and best reviewers online, but they seem to only review movies that they don't like and/or have no opinion about. Summer movies/super hero movies/action movies/stupid comedies etc. There is an air of arrogance and snobbery that is boiling right below the surface especially with Jay. As for Rich Evans nobody cares what that [frick] [frick]ing fraud has to say.

No probs.

Ijack, sorry bud, you won't be posting that same damn collection of reviews on any or my articles, it's already everywhere and is almost spamming at this point.

As for the above review, I post any CBM related Half In The Bag or Plinkett reviews, this one just happens to be negative, i'd have posted it either way.

Just a few things....

- How about these guys create a script for a new Spiderman movie, go through a 3 to 4-year process (including dealing with ad execs, Sony execs, Marvel execs, and thousands more), and promote the film saying the same thing to the same questions thousands of time over. Then when the movie comes out, I'll grab two friends, all wear plaid and bash the heck out of it. I'm sure we'd all love it! (insert a sarcastic tone).

- In the same way Marvel created the Ultimate Spiderman, or had other Spiderman titles (Web, Spectacular, Amazing) this movie tells another story that is similar in ways and different in other ways to the the original movie. There are certain things that we know about Spiderman so they have to hit them in some way, even if for a second. So I see their point about something such as Uncle Ben, but since it was such a HUGE part of the original, why hash that part so hard just to have these guys bash the movie even harder. :)

- (**Personal opinion time**) Andrew Garfield did a PHENOMENAL job with Peter Parker! Since he is an actor and must recite lines, it has to be hard for him to stray away from the lines int he script. Comparing his delivery of these lines from what Tobey did, I see no contest. Tobey always sounded whiney and in need of a blanket and it never worked for me. Andrew's portrayal just seemed more real and how any one of us would have acted if placed in a crazy situation.

- Lastly, I hate how these guys hit NOTHING about how Rami's first movie made Mary Jane Peter's first love and never touched Gwen until the third movie. COMPLETELY WRONG! Especially with the Green Goblin dropping Mary Jane from the bridge, and not Gwen. Also WRONG!
To me, this is the biggest item that they got right in the new movie, yet these guys all overlook it completely. Epic fail.

All in all, I can understand fans having issue with parts of a movie, or conveying their opinions, however they BASHED (the caps were warranted) what was overall, a great movie and did follow the source material of the comics in better way!
