The fifth one could also be Chameleon I think.

Not surprising from what I've read in both topics.Holy shit, the new flood of reviews have tanked the movie's RT score. It's one point away from rotten category.
I was banned just before I saw the film.
But outside of the film's opening action scene with Spidey - which was very fun indeed, the film was complete garbage.
What I found hilarious is that they found a whole new way for Peter to be a cunt in this film. Harry has a legitimate beef. He tells Peter 'I'm dying, you have a chance at saving my life if you give me some of your blood', to which Peter retorts 'Yeah, but I don't know what could happen if I do. It could make you sick.', to which Harry once again reiterates 'I'm dying you fucking idiot. What does it matter? It's a chance to save my life. Doesn't Spider-Man like to save people?' Then Peter has no way to combat this logic and just pisses off.
Only later does he find out about that special desinty-blood of his.
The opening scene with the parents is so pointlessly stupid and unnecessary.
What I especially loved is the filmmakers trying desperately to make it so that Gwen's death isn't her fault. Her running around screaming beforehand 'This is my own decision to be here! FYI! Just remember that in a few minutes time!' The foreshadowing was obnoxious.

And oh god, Jamie Foxx... Jamie Foxx. That Dehaan's Goblin shows up in the last 5 minutes to kill Gwen is indicative of just how forced this film was. They had him and Peter skipping stones together for christ sake. :lol
The whole thing with Peter finding his father's underground subway lab really had me thinking if the writers knew what the hell they were doing. How was any of this necessary? This film was such schlock. And Webb continues his trend of cringeworthy angsty teen soundtracks.
Speaking of soudntracks, Zimmer's score was like some early-90s cheesefest shit. Good lord.
But yeah, when Garfield is in the suit making witty quips, it's pretty neat I guess.
It's tough to beat SM2. Most modern super hero films can't.So not surprised then.
I'm pretty sure Peter giving Harry his blood would've made him the Lizard 2.0 or something like that. It wasn't a guaranteed cure. But yeah, the movie is a mess. The Gwen thing before her death was a really dumb cop out to alleviate him of blame. I still think Peter is to blame though, as he didn't let her leave to London like they agreed. Instead he was going to try and follow her- which seemed pretty desperate. The movie had like zero subtlety when it came to foreshadowing her death. Not even teases- just stuff like Gwen's speech graduated which was pretty generic.
EDIT: the patents thing was gonna be resolved in the first film. For some reason they cut it and resolved it in this one. It's meaningless because it wasn't anything we didn't already know, and it was mostly implied even in the little bit we see of it in TASM.
Holy hell I completely forgot to mention the London thing. God Peter is so fucking dumb. This whole time he's agonizing about Gwen, when he finally comes to the brilliant conclusion he'll go with Gwen to London. 'Okay', I say to myself, 'He's willing to give up being Spider-Man to be with her. Maybe he's finally learning.'
Then he mentions that he's sure London has some criminals for Spider-Man to deal with. How does this dude not fucking get it?
At this point, he's responsible for turning Harry vengeful by telling him 'Good luck with that whole fatal disease thing you got lol seeya' and getting Gwen killed. All the while the writers and Webb do everything they can to make us believe it's not Peter's fault, because god forbid he should fucking be responsible for anything.
I also remember some awful scene where he argues with Aunt May about doing his laundry.

That didn't bother me.What I found hilarious is that they found a whole new way for Peter to be a cunt in this film. Harry has a legitimate beef.

This bothered me. Peter's stance is entirely sensible since he knows that his father's research (which he has access too at this point) could result in a cure with 0% chance of turning into the Green Goblin.Why was Harry so obsessed with getting the cure RIGHT NOW!, taking risks and not caring if Pete's blood killed him? It's the same disease his father lived with for 30+ years and he's known that he's got it for what? Less than a month?
I discussed with my girlfriend what happened in the comics before seeing the movie because she was having a bad day. Apparently she held out hope until the very end. Me? I was resigned to her fate within a few lines of her speech.The foreshadowing of Gwen's death was very heavy handed and clumsy.
Brando doesn't even quip in On the Waterfront. This is the new measure by which films are judged.But guys, this is automatically better than Spider-Man 1/2 because he's JUST LIKE the comics!
If he did, he could've been somebody.Brando doesn't even quip in On the Waterfront. This is the new measure by which films are judged by.

Thats why Garfield whined the whole time, too.Easily the most accurate representation of Spider-man/Parker on screen. [...]
I genuinely don't understand the arsehole criticism aimed at Garfield Peter Parker. He fits the role perfectly.Thank fuck we're rid of whingy Maguire anyway.

"With great power, comes no responsibility. It's probably someone else's fault."
That should be the tagline on the poster for ASM3.
Eh, no?The responsibility thing is really referring to using his powers correctly. Which he does.
Thats why Garfield whined the whole time, too.
Do you know classic Spider-Man, not only the stuff of the last decade? Doesnt seem so, Maguire was a perfect take on Golden Age Guilt-issued Spider-Man.
Wow the RT took a massive dip (56%). Doesnt look like American critics like it.
But guys, this is automatically better than Spider-Man 1/2 because he's JUST LIKE the comics!
Has a few enjoyable moments, with spidey doing spidey things, but the story is just a mess. A big amount of the film is pointless. The green goblin learns to be the green goblin in matter of seconds, as does Rhino.
They are trying to set up a set of future films in the most ungraceful way possible.
The chemisty between Garfield and Stone was the best part for me, and they threw that down the drain.
This movie. This fucking movie.
Do I have to even begin describing how bad Electro was? From his bumbling 90s Disney live action cues, his 'roars' and grunts, to his new little power rangers Electro costume, I was left speechless. I actually couldn't believe this was allowed after how Schumacher inadvertently changed the industry. That I was watching this schlock in a movie titled Spider-Man 2.
Then there's the magnificent Dane DeHaan who was thrown to waste for the sake of...y'know what...I don't know why. His motivations made zero sense. He wanted Pete's blood, Pete told him that it could fuck him up. He's pissed off. He gets some spider venom and realizes Pete was RIGHT. And decides to go fuck him up and kill his girlfriend because...because...Pete was right? He gains no powers as far as we know, jumps into a military suit for no reason I could understand, and then decides to create sinister six for more mysterious reasons.
Gwen Stacy. Oh Gwen. I don't know if you didn't realize that Pete clearly didn't want to move on and that you two weren't actually headed in two different directions given that Pete wasn't headed anywhere. But you were clearly ready to fuck off to Oxford and you didn't hesitate to rub it in. Pete is a cunt. Sure. But the writers don't seem to know that. Then why are the writers trying their best to portray this relationship as finished when they want us to emote over her death? Stop. Please, I want to get off.
Aunt May. Brilliant idea. Let's make her desperate for Pete's attention. Let's take that little thing EVERYONE hated about Pete in the first movie where he treats her like trash, and let's dial that up in this movie. Let's make it so bad that Aunt May has to go up to Pete and tell him that she practically raised him and that he's an ungrateful and evasive little shit. After this, let's have Pete completely ignore her plea.
To wrap up this turd fest, let's hint at the Sinister Six. Let's get people excited. Harry is healed up. Let's make this menacing so the audience looks forward to the future instalments. Let's see. How much time do we have left? 10 minutes? Great! We can fit Rhino in quickly and show how incompetent Harry's plan is before the next movie even begins!
That sums up my thoughts on this movie. Great visuals and action aside of course. They wasted some incredible talent in this movie. Can't wait for ASM 3.
I agree with this. Batman Forever Electro!!! My boss and I can't help but think that Jamie Foxx wanted to be a super hero and he bugged Sony (his record label) to let him be one and they screwed him over.
The only thing I disagree with your statement is the action...it seemed light on action and most of the big fight moments were in the trailers.
Really enjoyed it. Dane Dehaan is amazing. They tried to cram too much in though. Would have liked electro to get the whole movie and for them to kill off Gwen in the final movie of the trilogy with the whole thing devoted to the Goblin.
Best comic book movie for a long time for me. Stands up there with Iron Man and TDK IMO. Can't wait to see the next one. I hope they get a good director for the other Spidey movies as well. Webb dealt with the emotional side so much better than Raimi and managed to be less heavy handed than in ASM.
IMO, ASM2 > SM2 > ASM >>> SM >>>>>>>>>>> SM3.
This movie. This fucking movie.

This. I'd like to know as wellcan someone go into detail on what scenes that were in the trailers aren't actually in the movie?
