SPUMC Thread - RIP STAN LEE - ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE out now

[CP1708]

In my experience, the whole "People are too critical" is just a defense when others don't like a movie you like

It's okay to be critical.. it doesn't mean you can't enjoy movies.. or that you're necessarily being unfair or illogical.. it might just mean you find faults in a movie. If you think someone is being ridiculous with their criticisms or "looking for things to dislike" then the opposite end of the spectrum is true.. you can be overzealous and exaggerate a movie's positive qualities while looking past the obvious and legitimate issues.

Can also be seen as patterns.

Seen a lot of people pound new releases, then hype Blade, or some 90's cartoon that "did it better".

Next movie comes out, same comments.

Then you have the comments like Clark Kent shouldn't wear glasses, or Peter Parker lookin for info on his parents is stupid. But it's ok when Bruce Wayne's parents are shown on screen, or Tony Stark does something pointless, but he's cool.

Iono, guess it just makes for good debate in these threads.

went to watch the movie with my teenage cousins and 4 year old son. I thought the movie was ok 3.5 out of 5. Every scene seemed rushed for some reason, I don't if they were trying to fit a lot of stories into the allotted time. My cousins said it was better than Captain America 2 :x I think they're still in that phase where action over storyline rules. Took all of them to a comic book shop after and came across these hilarious drawings on display.

There was more action in Cap 2

 

[iglazyass]

I just watched it again and did not enjoy it as much. The drama scenes take way too long and there is barely any action. This time around the soundtrack wasn't too bad.

 

[tay1]

Well Peter Parker does have a lot of drama in his life

TASM1 got a lot of crap for Spiderman taking his mask off. Happened 4 times in this film.

Anyway Ock and JJJ were the highlights then, they're also highlights now

It'll be best to introduce Ock as the leader of the S6. You can't really do much of an origin better than this.

Had to stop complaining after ASM. Garfield was finding any reason to take off his mask. Damn near half a dozen ppl found out his secret

People always say "people are too critical or "people will always find something wrong" or "people are never happy", etc...

I mean what do you expect? It's 54% on RT for a reason.

I remember when MoS came out

It deserved it's RT rating. As it went on I had to block out clear things I had issues with just so I could really enjoy the action which was the best part of the film (and even for that you could have a pretty good complaint).

lets cast bryan cranston in every movie!

The white Idris Elba!

But really the **** casting Cranston as Doc Ock?

Those movies simply did it better and were able to pull it off. The other movies that get the complaints just didn't do that.

Plus I question that RDJR can do anything pointless in a movie especially as Stark.

As for past things doing it better, if that's how they feel, that's how they feel. I'm sure when something legitimately better comes along (to them) it'll get it's praise. I for one was never a Cap fan but Cap2 is just plain undeniable (same goes for IM). SM2 was the best cam to me for a while until IM came out then TDK came out and blew everything away. Then ******* Avengers. I just know I aint the typed to be heavily swayed by visuals. I aint the Avatar or Snyder type. Best have a great story and entertain me a great deal among other things.

 

[c63anazco]

It undeniable that this SM franchise kills the Toby Spidey films. I was very skeptical and resistant to giving this franchise any love. But when I finally was bored one day i gave it a try and my mind as blown!. Hands down The Amazing Spiderman franchise is on point. It's dark, the visuals are amazing the camera angles are incredible. I felt like I WAS spidey for much of the film. Jamie Fox's Electro was incredible, funny, but you truly felt for him and his misguided hate toward a world that ignored him. GREAT FILM can't wait for the next one!!!!!

 

[blacklion23]

Movie was ok, far from great. As some have stated, it lacked action. At no point was I on the edge of my seat.

"Oh you didn't know!? I'm Electro!!"
Jamie wasn't bad, but the Electro story was. Someone mentioned Jim Carrey's Riddler, spot on.

The expression made to my lady when Harry became the Goblin.....


Gwen's death scene was the best in the movie. Not because she died, just thought it was played out nicely. The tone of the movie was not fitting for such a death, though.

I mean dude stops a crime, basically steals their car, and drives without his mask in a busy NYC city. Cmon

And people are doing what dude said IMO. I mean I'm not a Superman fan at all, but that wasn't a bad movie and isn't worse than Returns. Same with this. All of a sudden, people are popping up and liking SM3. While this film does have problems, I'll admit that because it does, but some people just aren't letting go of past franchises.

Watching now in 3D

Enjoy

I've never seen a movie on a Monday I believe

Hol' up now! Who the hell is liking SM3?

 

[CP1708]

Saw someone mention something I think was key. He said this film wasn't built for that kind of death.

Maybe, but they showed it to you the whole time.

The opening scene, he jumps on the front of a truck, tellin jokes, carefree, gets on phone, nonchalant, and then he sees her dad......

It haunts him.

He tries to let her go, but he can't, she's his whole world. Even when he cuts her, he follows her around the city.

Her father made it clear to him, don't risk her life for your fights.

He wanted to honor his wish, he just loved her too much.

And in the end, it cost him. All their carefree, flirty, humorous, innocent fun, cost him, exactly what her dad had haunted him over.

Dennis Leary never said a word, but was a big key to the film. And GS's death is the absolute strongest scene I've seen in these Comic films. And they led us to that point the whole time.

I might be wrong, but I suspect that could be the early focus of ASM3, him and Harry/Goblin goin at it. Once Gwen goes, the focus wasn't on Harry, it was Peter's world bein crushed. Maybe in 3, the consequences of that are shown and they have their true showdown.

It's gonna be interesting to see what's next for Harry. I mean is he evil now or what? If so, what are his motivations?

 

[kal-el-8]

Gwen

 

[rfx45]

I mean is he evil now or what? If so, what are his motivations?

Is this even a question? I mean what makes you think he isn't evil? Dude got mad and killed Gwen because Peter won't share his blood, which he found the venom anyways and dude still held a grudge.

 

[tay1]

Clearly looked like a question to me. I mean it was the venom he took that pretty much made him change to his Goblin persona. It wasn't really specified if it's a permanent or temporary thing.

 

[rfx45]

He clearly said in the the end that him being green "comes and goes" but dude was already evil even before he injected the venom in him, dude was already willing to kill and ordering Electro to do hi bidding.

It coming and going just refers to him deteriorating and all that. And I don't know. I find out I'm dying, and someone tryna frame me? I just may have to off a man

 

[rfx45]

Deteriorating comes and goes? Doesn't really make sense. Doesn't that just means the deterioration slows down?

How does it come and go? One day his skin is peeling off and the other he has clear complexion?


I mean does he really need anymore motivation to be evil and to create the Sinister 6 other than to beat Spiderman and destroy Peter? I could have sworn that's a given.

He shot himself up with the Parker family DNA and the super spider venom. Maybe that holds it at bay. I don't think his pops had access to it because that dude that wanted to run the company wanted him dead, obviously. He was cool with Harry dying too.

 

[rfx45]

The venom doesn't have Parkers DNA iirc, those venoms were just the leftover after the Lizard event happened.

Peters dad said no one knew he used his DNA but did he say he injected it to all the Spiders? I figure if he did that then there is no reason to run and hide because the Spiders already has the key DNA in them. Harry just wanted Spideys blood because he was bitten by the radioactive spider figure to extract the venom from it.

I believe Norman did use the venom, it just didn't work because it didn't have Parkers DNA? I mean the Indian dude in ASM1 had access to everything and he just wanted the serum Conners was working on specifically.
