People are ripping on the web hand now? I thought that was really cool, helped amplify the moment into something greater than a typical "web save" that he does throughout the movie.

Foreal, don't hate on the hand-web. Really liked that touch.

 

[thecouncil]

guys... guys... calm down... the web hand and the hallucinations were both stupid.

 

[WrenchNinja]

I kind of liked the Web hand

 

[Blader]

It's not nitpicking to not call it a stylistic flourish. Placing an actor or using archived footage out in the open isn't flourish. It was an easy way to show that he was guilty. Not saying that it was bad, but it isn't like it creative or anything. The web hand is a stylistic flourish, but a bad one that was unnecessary. We saw the tension as the web was going down the improbable clock tower and was barely making it to her. It's like that he thought not enough things were happening and added it in to really hammer in the idea that he was reaching out to her in desperation. I know, that part is a nitpick, but it is one of many things that is wrong with the film. For me it was something that interrupted any of the emotional impact of the scene with something that was pretty silly.

No, it isn't. You may not like it but that doesn't make it something that's wrong with the film.

I didn't really care for most of the Stacy visions, but I actually liked the last one, when he reappears (and Electro passes through him) after Pete relents to letting Gwen help.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

They should have had a scene where Peter and Gwen are getting all hot and heavy, then Gwen asks Peter if he has a condom and he tells Gwen he doesn't, so she says 'Don't worry about it, we'll be careful.'

*Cue disapproving Captain Stacy vision*

He then infects her with his radioactive spider cum from which she later dies?

yes this happened, only with maryjane

Holy shit. I need a re-imagining of the Gwen Stacy arc where a reckless Peter Parker cums spider-venom into Gwen and turns her into the Green Goblin.

 

[zeeaykay]

Going to see this again tonight, this time in 3D on an "ultra-screen", which seem better than LieMAX but not as good as the real deal.

I'll let you guys know how it is the second time around from someone who was expecting to hate it and ended up enjoying it quite a bit.

was surprised they had it on RPX in 2D in my regal at certain hours of the weekend.

No, it isn't. You may not like it but that doesn't make it something that's wrong with the film.

Just because you don't find it to be something wrong doesn't mean I don't. You are acting like the web hand being good or bad has to be a fact. I think it is something minor that is wrong with the film. It reminds me of Star Wars film edits that adds a whole bunch of unnecessary crap added because George Lucas didn't understand his own movies. But let's pretend that the web hand was just something he added just so it would look cool and had no other meaning. Why do that to this scene? "You know what would look cool in this death scene? If there was a web hand."

He'll probably use webbing instead.

What is this, and what exactly is going on? Is that old man Peter or something?

 

[WordsintheWater]

I thought the web hand was a nice touch and as for why Gwen went there I would say she just wanted to help Peter out, the whole I know how it works thing was probably just an excuse to give.

 

[WrenchNinja]

What is this, and what exactly is going on? Is that old man Peter or something?

Imagine The Dark Knight Returns except written for Spider-Man and being really fucking bad.

That's Spider-Man Reign

The scene is an old man Peter being a blubbery mess and telling the corpse of Mary Jane that all of his fluid is irradiated and that's why she had cancer and died.

 

[Trike]

Takes place years in the future after Peter Parker has retired. That particular page is about Peter hugging Mary Jane's corpse because he blames himself for her death, due to his Spider-Jizz giving her cancer. It is a pretty good story that is super depressing.

Edit: I forgot to mention that you get to see Peter's penis.

"Let's just pretend the web-hand in the movie is stupid, regardless of interpretation or opinion. OK, now that we're on the same page, here's what I propose: isn't the web-hand stupid?"

You do realize that's what you're saying, right?

Yes, it was the words that you quoted. Not your inaccurate interpretation of my words that you put into quotation marks.

It's near as bad as Paul Jenkins was and that's saying something.

For how awful it was it did have some nice cover art:

just saw it today

all throughout the movie I was wondering

where was iron man? thor? captain america? superman? jughead? spawn? goku?

New york city was under attack, two planes almost crashed into each other, a lot of people were killed.

where were the avengers, the justice league, the get along gang, or the watchmen?

I know you are clearly joking, but the Amazing Spider-Man Universe takes place hundreds of years before those movies.

so it takes place in the same timeframe as star wars, just not in a galaxy far far away?

 

[Poofynamanama]

So was the only one that caught a black man in a hoodie being mistaken for a threat and forced to defend himself? I wonder did Jamie Foxx do that in purpose.

jesus fucking christ, he was FUCKING BLUE

More or less. The Russian character would later return in "The Punisher" and "Rocky IV".

Trayvon Martin is not the allusion to black identity that you're looking for here. This, however, is.

That's actually kind of a genius take on it.

 

[Blader]

I actually liked Spider-Man Reign

Spoiler

's costume

 

[Pavaloo]

That's actually kind of a genius take on it.

it even works well with Jonah's "I was wrong about Spider-Man" speech in S-M2 lol

Probably sine he was a walking neon blue glowstick.

He's not even looking for an argument. I get you didn't like the movie, and it does have a lot of issues. But most of these questions are fucking stupid lol.

The hand web came off as cheesy to some, but it was an artistic touch. Questioning how his web could take on that form is far dumber that it being in the film.

 

[TEJ]

He isn't joking.

didn't cha know that disney now owns star wars, and is putting all their films in the same continuity?

The amazing spiderman is in the same timeframe as star wars episode v.

The Lion King takes places during the avengers, kingdom hearts 2 takes place after the avengers and before saving mr banks.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Am I the only one who liked Dan Dehann as Harry Osbourn more?

Also I feel his actions were because of sickness and the serum.

Spoiler

You could see his hesitation in the final scene before he drops Gwen

Am I the only one who want's a Harry Redemption in ASM3?

I felt he and peter didn't have enough screen time either, and after seeing the movie, it seems they cut out the subplot, with Harry telling peter about Oscorp having him under surveillance.

Wonder how big the directors cut will be?

I heard they cut a lot.

Also should the Symbiote suit make it in Sinister Six movie So Peter can overcom all of them.

Granted Venom movie comes out to establish this, or unless the events in Sinister Six leads to Venom movie.

Will CURT Conner return, since he seemed like he was on Peter's side at the end of ASM 1?

DeHaan was a GREAT Harry. Highlight of the movie.

They definitely cut stuff. They cut Harry telling Peter about the Oscorp Surveillance, and they cut the post-credit scene with Norman Osborn's head in a jar...

It is not my fault that you cannot read my question properly. I was not questioning how it did that, I don't care how. I was questioning why. Why did the director decide to add in that touch? That is what the whole thing was about. There are a lot of weird/dumb choices made in this movie, that many people have been critical about. This was just something small that I found to be weird. So you just immediately go "fucking stupid lol" because you didn't want to or could not add anything. If you don't feel like discussing what I said about the movie, then maybe you shouldn't be in a discussion topic. Or just ignore it.

Lol I like how you suddenly speak for everyone here. No where did I say I didn't want to discuss the movie, I'm just letting you know some of what you're saying sounds really dumb to me. There's a difference.

You said yourself that the movie was dumb, so that validates all of the dumb questions. Like, "why didn't Electro instantly kill Spider-Man like he killed that guy?" Or, "why was Gwen there?"

Why do you always make these assumptions? I am not speaking for everyone in here. When all you ask is "Why are your questions so stupid?" you come across as extremely rude and you contribute nothing to the discussion.

I never said the movie was dumb, so again you seem to have issue with reading my posts and questions. I said parts of the movie were. If you are tired off all the "dumb questions" then why are you here? This is a discussion thread, what did you think would happen? Everyone would go "man wasn't this the best movie ever?" "Yeah bro, hi fiveskis all around." No, they are going to post their comments, questions, and opinions about the movie.

But seriously, my thoughts on the movie

The good

-action scenes were beautifully shot
-I loved the final "battle" between mecha rhino and spiderman, definitely left me wanting more


The bad

-The soundtrack was boring
-I didn't like any of the performances except for maybe aunt may
-the movie was mostly boring. Spiderman disapeared a third in through and came back at the end.

The ugly

-Jamie fox's dillon was campier than an adam west batman villain, slightly better when he became electro. His motivations were incredibly goofy

You say much of the movie is dumb. You said that in response to my question.

And now you're playing the this is a discussion thread bullshit, as if everyone here doesn't know that. Lol yeah I should leave this thread because you're losing sleep over a hand web, nice argument guy. I contributed plenty to the discussion, feel free to go back and read up on that. And I've been pretty critical of it without incessantly nitpicking both minor and silly things.

Have fun fishing for shitty arguments though. I'm not gonna give you one.
