The Amazing Spiderman sucked so much

Seriously. I hate to repost, but here are my reasons: --- New Uncle Ben was a dick to Peter, and his death was anticlimactic. He never even said his signature line. Mary-Jane wasn't even in it. The new villain, Connors, was -blam!- compared to Osborn from the original. They even tried to pull off a schizophrenic thing where Connors talked to himself in the sewer. If you don't remember that, it's because it was stupid, and it was so much more memorable when Osborn talked to his mirror image in the original. New Aunt Mae was too young. New Peter was cocky, annoying, and too confident. There were no memorable scenes or characters. And the animation was horrible when Connors transformed into the lizard. Spiderman had his mask off way to much. [i]More will come when I think of it.[/i] [Edited on 08.08.2012 12:16 PM PDT]

If I were to say "The Avengers sucked" I am essentially saying that my statement is a fact if I do not state why I hate it.

  • My views on the movie pretty much summed up right here. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SweetTRIX From those that i'd trust who have seen it, I heard it was entertaining but largely unnecessary, bringing very little of anything new to the movies.[/quote] Also the film was extremely unmemorable for me. Where as I can still quote the Sam Rami Spiderman which I haven't seen for roughly eight years I find myself forgetting basic plot points when looking back at the reboot. In ten years I doubt I'll remember the movie. The film also has a plentiful stash of plot holes which I won't go into.

  • Actually i do think they used the great power with responsibility phrase, but reworded it. It was like "If you have the power to good, it is your responsibility to use it" or something.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Owned Maybe [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bane The Bug Guy New Uncle Ben was a dick to Peter, and his death was anticlimactic. He never even said his signature line.[/quote] So what? I'm glad they left it out. They milked that phrase way too much in the first trilogy. Every movie they had atleast one scene mentioning that phrase. I was like, "come on, alright already, WE GET IT. Shouldn't Peter by now be learning some new life lessons?" His infamous phrase about power and responsibility is not present in the film, but Uncle Ben does inform Peter that he, like his father, has a responsibility to be mature. Remember the message he left on his phone at the end? I'm sorry it wasn't worded the exact same way as the first movie, but it gets the point across just as effectively. [quote]Mary-Jane wasn't even in it.[/quote] So what? Who cares? If the had Mary Jane in it, it would be waaaaaaay too similar to the original trilogy. I'm soooo glad they chose to go a different direction with the love interest. [quote]The new villain, Connors, was -blam!- compared to Osborn from the original. They even tried to pull off a schizophrenic thing where Connors talked to himself in the sewer. If you don't remember that, it's because it was stupid, and it was so much more memorable when Osborn talked to his mirror image in the original.[/quote] I'll give you this point, but I'd consider them about equal. [quote]New Aunt Mae was too young.[/quote] Um, no she wasn't. Not at all. And Sally Fields is a MUCH better actress than the other Aunt May from the original trilogy. Much better casting on this one. [quote]New Peter was cocky, annoying, and too confident.[/quote] Cocky? Are you kidding me? Not at all. Annoying how exactly? Too confident? Way to just repeat "cocky," but in a different way. Peter's character was much more believable this time around. I'd take a socially awkward, nerdy Peter Parker over the dorky, soft spoken Peter Parker from the original trilogy any day. [quote]Spiderman had his mask off way to much.[/quote] Had his mask off too much? Did you see Spiderman 2? Everyone in the whole city pretty much saw his face in that movie. In this one only two did, Gwen Stacy's dad and the kid in the car. Possibly some of the other cops, but we're never led to believe that.[/quote] That line was the best part of the movie. Mary-Jane is a better character than Gwen. Old Aunt Mae was better. She was less over-protective, and more worried. Cocky and confident are two different things.

And two of them end up dead or in prison so that leaves one person still in the city who has seen his face and that's the kid. One little kid has seen his face is a big deal to you? What a joke.

He never even said his signature line.[/quote] First off, how was he a dick? Second off, his death, imo, was more effective than the one in the original. It is now more directly tied to Peter, because not only does he see it happen in front of him, but to add to that he had the ability to stop the bad guy in the store. Third off, it is a reboot, so of course they are going to try and separate themselves as much as possible from the original.[quote] Mary-Jane wasn't even in it.[/quote]Mary Jane is over rated imo and Gwen Stacy was peter parker's first girlfriend anyway.[quote] The new villain, Connors, was -blam!- compared to Osborn from the original. They even tried to pull off a schizophrenic thing where Connors talked to himself in the sewer. If you don't remember that, it's because it was stupid, and it was so much more memorable when Osborn talked to his mirror image in the original.[/quote]Ditto.[quote] New Aunt Mae was too young.[/quote] That is what people in society refer to as an opinion.[quote] New Peter was cocky, annoying, and too confident.[/quote] Well, to be fair, aren't all teenagers like this? Just because his Uncle Ben gave him the responsibility speech it doesn't make him superman. Change in people takes time.[quote] There were no memorable scenes or characters. And the animation was horrible when Connors transformed into the lizard.[/quote]This is still an opinion[quote] Spiderman had his mask off way to much. [/quote]Opinion.[/quote]These are all opinions. Uncle Ben was a dick because he didn't respect Peter's feelings when toward his father's abandonment. Peter said "he left me" or whatever, and all Uncle Ben said was "how dare you." The real Uncle Ben would have tried to console him.[/quote]Uncle Ben was worked up with emotion and felt offended when Peter said that. [quote]Aunt Mae was like 40. That's not an opinion. She's supposed to be old.[/quote]IDK if I can emphasize this enough. The movie is a reboot, a new direction. Also looks don't always align with age. If Uncle Ben and Aunt May were both fifty years old then maybe she just looked younger than most women, simple.[quote] Spiderman shouldn't take off his mask that much. That's how you get caught.[/quote]Just because he takes off his mask doesn't mean he will get caught. If he was in front of the police or Connors, then sure he will, but in private or just to some random guy, how would that effect him?
