That thud when Gwen's head hit the ground....damn
And who was Harry talking to in his cell? Pretty sure it was the same guy who confronted Connors in the last movie.
And that kid in the Spider-Man costume trying to confront Rhino...so fucking stupid
Still pretty good movie
Gripes
Electro was really weird as a villain and everything about him was so over the top.
Goblin was introduced a bit late.
I felt a little bored of the subplot.
Other than that I really enjoyed this film! Andrew Garfield is perfect as both Peter and Spidey that it just blows Maguire out of the water for me. The chemistry between him and Gwen was great, seeing as they're a real couple and usually I don't enjoy romance too much. Everything about Spidey was just...amazing!
To add a sense of urgency to the final fight. I didn't think it needed it either.What was the point of the two planes nearly colliding subplot?
Question is why let this trifle shit bother you? If that annoyed you, better steer away from the campy Raimi films.
Every scene involving planes was unnecessary. Including the opening scene.The plane bit could have been completely removed, really wasn't necessary, just prolonged the finale for no reason.
How has nobody mentioned Electro's theme music? People laughed at my theater.
Felt like an episode of power rangers when the green ranger shows up and he's got people singing behind his music.
Why was Harry dying so fast of the mystery illness that seemingly took 50+ years to kill Norman?
His dad said he had tried all sorts of stuff to keep himself alive and prolong his life. Without all of that, he would have died much earlier.Why was Harry dying so fast of the mystery illness that seemingly took 50+ years to kill Norman?
Someone please explain me the post credit scene?
It's part of a weird contract deal when Marc Webb came on board - more details here.
Mine had NOTHING at the end...did I get cheated?
Weird - which country did you see the movie in? But nope, felt like most of the crowd that waited was disappointed.
When Electro played Isty Bitsy Spider with electricity at the power plant I just gave up. Why?
I am in the US, saw a screening Wednesday night and usually if there are after credit stuff, they are shown. Everyone grown when nothing was there.
Also, it was hilarious when Electo's pants came back after he dematerialized himself. Then he had a suit hours later?
so overall I really loved the movie. I just wanted to throw in here that I loved that they actually bothered to show Pete trying to figure out how to make is web shooters electric proof, that was great.
my only criticism is that they coulda cut the parents plot entirely, as well as the planes colliding bit and the movie would have been shorter and better for it
Gwen's deathly was shockingly violent. That thud was sick. Sad that she had to go.
It was quite jarring and you felt that force but tbh, I'm glad she is gone cause I couldn't stand one more scene of them breaking up and getting back together...4 was enough.
My interpretation of this plot point is this: Harry was nowhere close to dying and put a sense of urgency to cure himself of the disease to avoid even slightly resembling his father, a person he hated so much. They could have worded this much better but his was my understanding of it. He made it a point a couple of times in the movie to say "I'm not my father!"
On a side note, the parents plot needed to be there. The scene where Peter watches his fathers taping was crucial for the character. zeeakay his the reason on the mark. By having an understanding of the truth, he can now let his anger go. He understands why his parents abandoned him and why they couldn't be with him. He understands how responsible his father was. He understands that no matter what people think of him, he has to make the right choices like his father did, even if they're tough.
Yea, no it wasn't needed at all since that whole thing is what the Uncle Ben plot point has been about for spiderman for decades. The crap with his parents was just the same thing, and instead of Pete being all broken up about Uncle Ben and that classic story motivation, they redid it with his Parents? Pointless. They made us waste an hour sitting through the whole Uncle Ben origin of Spidey in the first movie, but then toss that out to just repeat it in this movie now with his dad? Huge waste of time.
I agree with this. It was just really dragged out for minimal payoff.It's a completely different point. Uncle Ben -- Great Power, Responsibility... classic Hero Motivation.
The point with his parents is more personal. Although it re-affirmed the importance of responsibility in their family, he had to know about his parents simply so he could KNOW why he left him and not have any pent up anger about it. Closure.
I agree with this. It was just really dragged out for minimal payoff.
Gwen's deathly was shockingly violent. That thud was sick. Sad that she had to go.
We still haven't gotten the payoff that is the most damning thing about the whole parents thread.
Did he say now?
That only happened when he started getting desperate and feeling the effects of his disease.
There was nothing to suggest Harry wasn't trustworthy for Peter either.
They even had scenes deliberately showing how disconnected he is from the bullshit they pull at Oscorp
What makes you think I didn't understand what was happening in the scene? Just because it's an awful, unfunny and perfunctory scene, it doesn't mean I didn't get what was happening.
Norman had monster hands, so I'm assuming he's transformed before and is being kept alive by life support machines or something. Either way the disease thing is kind of lame.
EDIT: I misread your post, yeah, he made the demand for Peter's blood a really urgent need. Even though his dad was able to live a while without it lol. It's not like he's too broke to get whatever treatment Norman is getting. Lol.
Give him your fucking blood, Jesus Christ.
why would you rush that when A) he clearly has 20-30 years to try and further research a cure B) you don't know what the fuck his blood could turn him into (another monster like the lizard)? I do not understand the issues people are having with this point...
So just curious, is Electro dead or is he just.....dispersed because unlike Goblin and Lizard he met an relatively ambiguous end, and Spider-man doesn't deliberately kill people. I'm hoping he's alive because all things considered I thought Jamie Foxx was pretty damn good. I mean the set up with the birthday and the obsession over Spidey then the mental issues. It was good, then the script I guess just said fuck you Electro. So much wasted potential there for a main villian. Then it all moves away for goblin to be exactly what I expected, a twist to set up ASM 3, though I was honestly expecting it half way through the 3rd act not giving Peter time to grieve appropriately for Gwen with Electro being the main baddie he hadn't stopped yet. A really great film but still not the best handling of multiple villains but hella better than Spider-Man 3.
We haven't? How haven't we? That entire thread is fully resolved.

The payoff was the revelation that the spiders had Parker blood integrated into them. This means that only a Parker can get real benefit from the experiment, and everyone else who tried to will just get some sort of negative effects. Like i said, the payoff was pretty meh, but at least it's been wrapped up.The payoff would be the full use of all of his research in the form of enemies of Spider-man. In the terms of what happened to the parents yeah that thread is resolved.
