What I'm really getting at is Iron Man 3 was terrible,
and that's about all I have left to say.

What I'm really getting at is Iron Man 3 was terrible,
and this argument is boring me.
Lol, ok, haven't seen it as I'm not the biggest comic book fan outside of the Bat or the occasional unique comic-book inspired movie, that confronts and puts the conventional aspects of Superheroes into perspective. Otherwise I tend not get too much into them as they usually would require for me have background knowledge, so I don't ask 'who the hell are all these characters?'.
Anyway -- What I'm really hoping now is that Marc Webb goes back to directing his own stuff again like Nolan. 500 Days was great and his only barely gotten his career as a director started.
I heard its getting **** reviews. Go Spider-Man.

We do not talk about that..... movie called Iron Man 3! ![]()
In all fairness I have not seen that many Amazing Spider-Man 2 reviews so far but what little I have seen seem to suggest that surfers from the same thing that ruined Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3, too many villains, the film spreads it self too thin.
Quantity is never a good substitute got quality.
I knew it. I just knew that it was gonna repeat itself. Too many villains.
People still talk about Iron Man 3? I was too focused on the awesomeness that was Capt 2.

I thought what ruined Spidy 3 was it's horrible writing, the actors not doing a good job like past films, emo Parker and horrible casting for Eddie Brock.

I liked Iron Man 3, I liked it better than I liked the Winter Soldier. Also if people still think the Mandarin was in it they are being silly and the need to go see All hail the king.
You're lucky you have the manliest man as your avie....

Yes Winter Solider was better than the first Avenger but I thought it was still just ok. On a side thought man it must have sucked watching Agents of Shield if you hadn't already see Winter Solider.
Yes. Yes it did.
I didn't like TASM2 very much.
Wasn't that big a fan of the first TASM, but I thought it was decent. This one... I don't know. I didn't care for either of the villains, and the whole movie just felt too long and unfocused. There were a few pretty strong moments and performances, but also quite a few things that made me cringe. On the plus side the Spidey costume was pretty good, as were the visuals and the action scenes. Also Emma Stone! So, TASM2 isn't a bad movie. If you're looking for some lighter entertainment with some nice action that's what you'll get (well, for the most part
).
Maybe opening rather close to The Winter Soldier didn't help it much when it comes to gaining my personal appreciation. To me going from "To build a better world sometimes means tearing the old one down." to "It's my birthday - time to light the candles!"... yeah, no. Though I have to say that I do believe a mix of lightheartedness, seriousness and (a maybe sometimes sort of cheesy) humor can work well in a (superhero) movie. It's actually something I'm looking forward to in Guardians of the Galaxy, but that's because I have faith Gunn will be able to make that mix work. Marc Webb imo couldn't.
Anyways, the trailers and reviews for TASM3 and the Sinister Six spin-off will need to be damn impressive to get me in the cinema for either one of them.
I was pleasantly surprised by Amazing Spider-man 2. I went into it expecting a train wreck and I was surprised at how good it was ( good, not great, it's a 3 star film but then again most super hero films are 3 star films ).
I enjoyed the first film more but ASM2 isn't all that far behind. I really got a kick out of how Marc Webb took a D list villain like Electro and turned him into a proper threat to Spider-man ( even if his back story and character development is very weak ). I also really enjoyed the Felicia Hardy cameo although I would not have known it was her if I had not read it somewhere on the net in some review.
NO WAY will this top Raimi's Spidey 2. Sorry Emma Stone groupies... I will likely not even see it until -MAYBE- the dvd is released

It doesn't IMO - I'm pretty much in agreement with TheRealJayDee's post - Some people seem to really enjoy it though so I suppose it's just not my type of film...

Well just saw this movie tonight. Crushing on Andrew a bit now. ![]()
Lots of strong performances. Odd editing, though. Lots of slow, romantic moments. Lots and lots of Gwen.
Overall I really enjoyed myself, though. I'd give it a solid 8/10.
