I was just arguing with the whole "it sucks and it's true" thing
Yeah, it's not true at all and anyone who thinks so probably hates good movies

I avoided it but that swinging gif posted a few posts back is making me want to watch it.

Probably the most emotional scene I've seen in a comic book movie.
I had to strangle my junk to keep the tears from flowing.
Garfield sold it.

While I'm not gonna pin comic puritanism on everyone as that'd be narrow-minded, if you look at how downright stingy/picky fans are about things like the lines on his suit, it's just not difficult for me to imagine that this extends to every other facet; if someone can be that nitpicky about a suit, I can see how the same kinds of folks would hate on something like Spider-man 2 because it isn't what they had in mind. I just think there's a ridiculous level of entitlement when it comes to diehards, but that's really nothing new and spans every single form of entertainment and fiction.
As for the posts above, I still maintain that Amazing Spider-man 2 is a good if not messy in some ways movie. But it has great moments and awesome performances/chemistry among the cast. The ending is super well done. My main grief is who wrote it, which explains some of the messiness. Marc Webb and the cast did the best they could do with it, and honestly they did salvage some of the bad writing through great directing and acting. I thought it was far superior to say either Thor movie, Age of Ultron, etc.

I'm not sure how you do that scene any better. Just the total finality of it, especially since you know damn well what's coming

Yeah, that scene's really well done. There's a lot of crap in ASM2 but it has some high points too.

Just about the only complaint I've read claims Gwen smacking her head robs Peter of some guilt. How in the comic Peter believes he saved Gwen, when his webbing caused the whiplash.

I never got that. He's still partly responsible and didn't save her in time, and did feel an incredible amount of guilt at the end of the movie to the point where he stopped being Spiderman.

all you 30-40 year olds that 'grew up' with Spider-man whining about a teenage age Spider-man once more are really not the audience Marvel's after w/ this reboot, but the little kids that will be spending their allowance on the merch and keep the Spider-man juggernaut PUNCHING.
they KNOW the older fanbase will continue to support/buy whatever they put out regardless, but it's that younger boy & girl demo they're after... especially the Justin Bieber/1D/Harry Potter/Hunger Games younger female audience.

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.
Just wondered.
Who cleans up all of the disgusting webbing this guy leaves off around NYC?

If it's like in the comics, it dissolves by itself after a period of time.

And this is the problem I have with people just not watching something for themselves rather than taking negativity for gospel. It got some shit, but it wasn't widely hated. A lot of people were against that reboot from the get-go, let alone a sequel to said reboot.
...but it's okay now lol
lol
'no rebooting spider-man damnit it's too soon!'
'waaah pls give us spider-man in marvel'
Steve visiting Peggy at the hospital in Winter Soldier takes that title.

I like that scene too, but if we're bringing up Winter Soldier, "I'm with you 'till the end of the line" is my choice.
I also really like the scene in Iron Man 2 with Howard speaking to Tony in his recording. I felt that was one of the strongest moments in the whole IM trilogy.

I dunno, I might be inclined to go with Clark and his Ma hugging in the middle of a wheatfield and looking at the horizon in Superman: The Movie.

I can agree with this. Give it a watch folks. It's not all that bad. At least watch it for Gwen Stacy.

ASM2 is Batman and Robin level.
I like the guy saying no to crossbones. The guy was clearly terrified but it didn't matter.

I loved the first one, probably as much as Spider-man 2 in many ways, if not more. Spider-man 2 is more "perfect" from a filmmaking and story point, but I enjoyed and was engaged by the first Amazing Spider-man just as much. So I was pretty devastated when I learned that Orci and Kurtzman were writing the sequel. The first Amazing was written by Steve Kloves (Harry Potter) and Alvin Sargeant, who scripted Spider-man 2. If that doesn't explain things...
Are you drunk?
It dissolves.

Cap inspires the fuck outta people, I'm glad they made that very clear in his movies
Was happy when they brought that dude back in Ultron lol
I actually liked ASM2 in spite of most of it being bad. I don't even know why since I didn't really like the first one much at all.
Well, I think what people most didn't want in a reboot was doing the origin story again: which ASM1 did and Marvel isn't doing.

Gwen's death scene was easily the best scene in ASM2
I hated the film overall, but man, that scene was brilliant.

So when you say Batman and Robin level, what do you mean? the level of cartoony-ness? the acting? what?

Mentioned earlier and will say again, it's disappointing there will never be a director's cut of ASM. Characterization of Curt Conners and relationship with Peter alone is worlds better.

No doubt, I think that scene works not so much because of the scream, but because of the moment just before, where you see him mouthing words but no sound is coming out, completely soundless until a sharp intake of breath. I remember that sticking with me as a kid.
Honestly, this scene gave me more feels than the Steve/Peggy scene in Winter Soldier
In TDK, Rachel's realization they've saved Harvey instead of her, and her trying to reassure Harvey everything will be alright while actually trying to convince herself before being cutoff mid-sentence might take the cake for me. It was too unexpectedly real. People complained about Maggie replacing Katie Holmes, but she was great in that scene.

Agreed. The hospital scene didn't do anything for me. Would have preferred if she had been dead already.

So can Sony now do whatever the fuck they want with this Spidey, or do all upcoming solo movies have to be checked and given a go by Marvel, in terms of continuity, story beats, characters and general quality?

Lol I distinctly remember when that line hit and the screen went black, like 30+ women in the audience went AWWWW in perfect harmony
I am really glad they included that part in the film proper and didn't put it after the credits as originally planned
