Double Toasted is an entertainment podcasters that are mainly known for their entertaining reviews. One of the members, Martin has a unique opinion for SM3 that he hold for years and is the subject of ridicule since their spill days.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Nope.

 

[Robot Pants]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

 

[maxcriden]

Well, that cannot possibly be true. SM3 has some interesting high points I think, but it is a narrative disjointed mess.

 

[Geno Breaker]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

Heretic

 

[Frozenprince]

*Ahem*

I agree with the venerable Martin Thomas.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Why Martin?

 

[jack_package_200]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

Nah

1+2 are great

 

[Bronx-Man]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

Stop.

 

[Platy]

I am a person that LOVES emo spider man (the hate it receive is THE WHOLE POINT) and I will say that NOPE.

 

[Principate]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

This man speaks the truth.

 

[KraftyKrankins]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

You're a good man.

 

[Spinluck]

Martin is crazy, I've never met anyone with this opinion. Not even on the internet.

 

[Firemind]

Martin is always wrong.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Just saw this pop up on youtube but haven't watched it yet.
Martin... Come on man, not like this.

 

[DeathyBoy]

Nope.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

I rewatched SM1 as recently as a month ago, and no, that's not true.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Watching now. Martin is a smart guy and incredibly knowledgeable about film and comics. I gotta see how he comes to this very WRONG conclusion.

 

[phanphare]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

pretty much

Homecoming gonna save us all

 

[FTF]

This hurts Martin.

 

[the anime man]

Can't agree with Martin here.

 

[Killer Queen]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

Truth
And Maguire was a terrible Spiderman

 

[broncobuster]

Where's Korey.

Goodwin will have to do...

 

[bionic77]

So the internet helped give us Brexit, Donald and this lovely opinion.

Hmm, Al Gore you have some explaining to do.

 

[yunbuns]

Where's Korey.

This is from an old episode and I think he was out of town iirc. I guess they finally uploaded it to YT because of Homecoming.

 

[Jigorath]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

Nah.

 

[Schlorgan]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

Every other popular, influential and critically praised film is too, I guess.

 

[Loris146]

Ahahahahahahahah

 

[Finaj]

I don't agree with him... but I can't really refute any of his criticisms.

 

[Rymuth]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

Agreed

 

[Geno Breaker]

Why are there so many contrarians on GAF all of a sudden? ',:^)

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I don't worship Spider-Man 2 as my superhero film lord and saviour like some, but that's just not true.

 

[odiin]

Agreed.

It's not as good as Amazing Spider-Man 2, though.

 

[Principate]

Every other popular, influential and critically praised film is too, I guess.

Nah Dark night is aces as is Logan comic book wise.

 

[Sarcastic Poster]

Spider-Man 1 & 2 are great. Also I like Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker. Fight me.

 

[bionic77]

Why are there so many contrarians on GAF all of a sudden? ',:^)

Internet culture.

The internet was nothing but a mistake.

 

[Timu]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

Nope!

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Truth
And Maguire was a terrible Spiderman

This was really more of a problem with the writing than anything Maguire had control over.

 

[Sephzilla]

As someone who thinks Spider-Man 2 is good but overrated, the idea that it's worse than 3 is nuts

 

[Schlorgan]

Nah Dark night is aces as is Logan comic book wise.

Nope. No exceptions.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Spider-Man 1 & 2 are great. Also I like Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker. Fight me.

I don't want to fight you Flash.

 

[HellforLeather]

Toby was kind of a bad Spiderman, but 1 and 2 were good movies. 3....eh, its got good parts but the whole emo-peter thing is so fucking cringe worthy it makes it difficult to watch. Shoehorning Venom in there was also a huge mistake.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

No.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Spider-Man 2 owns

kind of a terrible Peter Parker but fuck it, it's good

 

[munchie64]

Man, I remember the old Spill Spider-Man 3 review. Always thought those full prices were crazy, but it's cool to see more of Martin's perspective.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

SM2 was bunk but so was SM3.

 

[Eidan]

How about they are all pretty lackluster

This is the right answer.

EDIT: Haha, Martin's complaint about Doc Ock's plan is already hilarious. Definitely going to watch all of this when I get home.

 

[cr0w]

Well he's not wrong.

SM3 was, for me, at least somewhat fun to watch. SM2 is just a miserable ass movie, and Raimi can't help torturing the shit out of his protagonists.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Spider-Man 2 owns

kind of a terrible Peter Parker but fuck it, it's good

I still don't get how for somebody a terrible principle character doesn't wreck a film. Or at least stop it from being exceptional.

 

[richiek]

SM3 is not better than 2, but it is still a fun and watchable film for me.
