The Amazing Spiderman 2
So I went to see this the day after the night it came out (then saw Electro just yesterday as Mr. President in "White House Down"... weird.) and thought it was fairly cool. A bit more dramatic than the first one, but haha what else. I did like Peter Parker again.
I was super(hero-ically) mad at the ending though.
Biggest flaw: no Rear Window movie poster on the bedroom wall.

I haven't seen it, but from what I've heard the only good part was the end... they actually got something right from the comics.
I still haven't seen the first one so I probably won't be seeing this one for a while. I did just find out last week that Andrew Garfield is British! I did not know that.
And now that Top says that he hasn't seen the movie, I have no idea whether I really should make sure I see the first one and make sure I go see the sequel or not. Way to let down the people who depend on you, Top!

Yeah, I don't REFUSE to see it or anything but there are a lot more interesting movies coming out. I hear there is some new film coming out this week about a radioactive dinosaur. Doesn't sound like something I'd be into but I might give it a watch.
*minor bump* Yeah, I thought it was a decent movie, and Peter Parker is really cute, so that helps.

I don't think she quite hit her head, although it was hard to tell... I think what happened is the whiplash from Spidey jerking her snapped her neck. That *is* what happened in the comics, and they seemed set on recreating that scene, and that is what I was expecting, so maybe I'm biased. >_> It really was hard to tell, though.
Anyway I finally saw it, and after hearing mostly negative things about it, I wasn't really looking forward to it anymore, but I ended up liking it. Maybe just due to low expectations. It wasn't the greatest movie ever but I thought it was better than the first Amazing (the Lizard is a classic villain but his motives on film are kind of dumb), and it handles comedy and dialogue better than the Raimi trilogy I think. They switched up the Goblin I assume just to stand out from the original series which is understandable, but man, having Norman Osborne or the Goblin not be Willem Dafoe is kind of sad.
EDIT: Is there not even a topic for X-men: Days of Future Past or Guardians of the Galaxy? WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS!?

Click for X-Men.
And it is your job to make the Guardians thread, Top. How am I supposed to know if I should see it if you don't post a review?

I'm terribly sorry for not making it sooner, Top. Your tirade reminded me. Before that, I didn't realize how upset some people would be about it's absenceThe Top Crusader wrote:She made the X-men thread after my TIRADE!Catspaw wrote:Are there not people who can read on the ToO?

I just saw this today. I loved it. It was such a spiderman movie. It had all the action and drama I anticipated. I don't know WHY it had such negative/lackluster reviews.
Because it sucked.

It is very disturbing to watch Jelly's avatar and the matching image in his post at the same time. They aren't quite in synch, and it is very disconcerting, but nearly impossible to look away from.
I have finally seen the first Amazing Spiderman movie, but I didn't think that it was very good, so I was in no rush to see the second one. I'll probably do the same thing that I did with the first one - wait to watch it for free on Netflix. That way I'm only wasting time, not money.
