.g-fex is awful
3 is at least entertaining
Yup. That's why I like it so much more than all of the previous ones. Looks like it came right out of "Marvels".
Showed a friend the trailer and he said "when can we have a spider-man where he's not in high school?"
Apparently 30-year old Tobey and Andrew pretending to be high schoolers for half a movie counts or something
I was about to get your back
but nah, not like this
ok james franco's performance was hilarious
Hmm, I gotta disagree with you and I'm sorry that 3 ruined 2 for you, but I can respect your points. I don't mind the campy parts at all, any of them, because I felt it was well balanced with the tone they were going for.It has a lot of the same shit that turned me off to Spidey 3.
-- The "raindrops" sequence is on the same tier of bad as EmoParkerDancing.gif in my opinion
-- Mary Jane is secretly an unlikable super bitch in both movies
-- Villains in both movies share really lame victim of science origins
-- Way too campy in spots (I swear if another woman screams while directly looking into the camera...)
-- Harry Osborne refuses to think anywhere remotely in the realm of the logical
-- Tobey is a shitty Spidey in both movies (his Parker is good though)
And in general I think both Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 have a bunch of dumb shit that pull me right out of the movie. Whether it being Sandman being jammed into the Uncle Ben origin, Spider-Man's random superpower impotence in #2, or Harry continuing to hate Spider-Man despite knowing full well that his father was a goddamn murderous psychopath. I know that Back to the Future gif of Doc explaining how Spider-Man 3 retroactively made the other ones shit goes around a bit, but that was honestly true for me. Spidey 3 ruined Spidey 2 for me because they both feel like they share a lot of things I dislike.

Even a mention of Spider-Man 2 makes me want to go watch for the upteenth time. I remember when Spidey did this. Small moment, sure, but man did I totally feel like I was watching Spidey go.

Mentioned this in the other thread but TASM2 had some great web swinging animation as well. They nailed his web swinging down along with some straight out of the comic poses.If there's one thing all the Spiderman movies nailed, it was the web swinging
Tobey was awful though, terrible PP. Garfield was a improvement but not that much.
movie Mary Jane is a horrendous human being.
Can't think of many people who weren't the slightest bit dickish in the raimi movies.
Yeah lol, I know people want some flaws in their superheroes and supporting cast but I basically just hated everyone in the Raimi trilogy
Ah hell naw!!!spider-man 2 is awful
They're all total assholes

I wonder if we'll see some in Civil warIf there's one thing all the Spiderman movies nailed, it was the web swinging

It's true.
Can you introduce Spiderman and not have web swinging?I wonder if we'll see some in Civil war
Opinions are true? Particularly one that a vast majority disagrees with? But yeah, it's true![]()
And the reluctant fact they'll probably actually really get along. Seriously, can see Scott and Peter having a big brother relationship, with Tony being the cool uncle.Can you introduce Spiderman and not have web swinging?
And if the rumors aboutgiant man are true, we'll probably get swinging there. Plus, a fight between the two insect themed heroes makes too much sense
Web swooning should be saved for the solo movie to be honest
given how many characters this movie will have the budget can't allow web swinging.
I left the theater really trying to convince myself that it wasn't a letdown of epic magnitudes. I kept trying to tell myself it was everything I wanted. Then it sank in and I cried inside.spiderman 3 is funny and somewhat enjoyable when you're not coming into it as your most anticipated movie ever following the greatest comic book movie of all time
that first viewing hurt my soul. prequel-esque disappointment coming off spider-man 2.

Spider-Man 2 has just aged. It's a great movie, but I feel like the casting of Peter Parker just weighs it down so damn much. He's just thoroughly unlike any incarnation of Peter in the comics I've come across.
Yes Silver Age he was always pathetic and trouble-laden, Stan Lee's original concept for him and all. But he always had some INNATE snarkiness or likeability, which Maguire just lacks. There's a difference between empathy and pity, the ideal Spidey for me is the former. Maguire is just the latter... Like so much cringe in Spiderman 2 when Aunt May tries to get a free toaster and gets shut down. Like oh my god so much cringe.
This one is true, yes.

Great post and 100% agreed!Spider-man 2 is one of the few comic films that is actually a great film apart from being just a cool superhero movie. It has some of the best script writing, pacing, and overall story structure among the entire genre and because of that, best character development. You feel most of the characters being developed effortlessly, the story moves at a great pace, it has and builds up to some of the best action ever shot in a superhero movie, and ties everything together perfectly by the end. It isn't great because it has Spider-man in it or this or that, it's just a damn good movie in general.
However, my gut tells me that most people who actually don't like it, which I imagine tallies somewhere in the handful range, dislike it because it disagrees with their personal "perfect vision" of what a Spider-man movie should be, whether because of diligent loyalty to an incredibly, ridiculously specific version of the comics they prefer or otherwise, as mostly proven by people who dislike Tobey Maguire because they feel like he's "not right" despite giving a good performance that works and jives perfectly well within the entire filmmaking space around it.
when he wasn't angry it was great.
Tobey was awful though, terrible PP. Garfield was a improvement but not that much.
This guy though?

The Peter-MJ-Harry drama was fucking trash. Blegh.They were in 3 for sure. And stupid. Really, really stupid. All their problems in that movie, which were Days of Our Lives levels of tripe, could have been resolved so easily.
Harry: "Break up with Peter or I will kill you all"
Mary Jane *calls Peter* : "Hey Harry is threatening to kill us if I don't break up with you, just a heads-up"
Instead she's fucking dumb as shit and we get the lamest break up scene ever on a bridge in a park while Harry hides behind a tree.
when he wasn't angry it was great.

But despite all that, if you hate the leads or Raimi's style choices then it's entirely possible to just not be that crazy about the movie. It really doesn't just come down to comic book puritanism.
