Daily Mail Uk review

3/5

After the horrific behemoth that was spider-man 3, here's an attempt by Sony Pictures to relaunch thier most profitable franchise. It's an efficient piece of corporate film-making, but nothing more

7/10

Next time hold the Webb , switch screenwriters, editors and conductor! Eventually, The Amazing Spiderman was just a small part of a bigger plan they say. only saved from Main Garfield , Ifans , Stone , Leary and of course any action scenes , which again is not enough. what to do though? His weakness we have, you see! This Spidey every time you fly so actually causes dizziness and happens to fly to and agreements with him like a child. And in these scenes Each time you let yourself, cut your breath and feel exactly like that.

google translate sucks

"cut your breath and feel exactly like that"

Deserves to be a t shirt at the very least :D

Daily Mail Uk review 3/5

I love this quote and notion in other reviews "It's an efficient piece of corporate film-making, but nothing more"

I don't read comics, but isn't this supposed to be one of the most faithful adoptions of a comic-book to a movie, essentially being a love letter to fans of the character?

Anyone in the UK knows Daily Mail reviews should be immediately discounted.

[THE-Pink-Dagger]

Seen it on Tuesday (French premiere, about 2000 people) and it was so epic.

I've never been in something like this, everyone yelling, cheering, clapping at every funny moment, when Spidey shows up, when it gets epic. It was nice at first but a bit annoying at the end.

We saw Andy, Emma, Rhys and Marc for 5 min before the movie, they were about 100 meters away, and it was awesome, classic stuff of course, they left afterwards (they just did Japan, London, Paris, Berlin, and they are now in Spain, all of this in 4 days (for the last four countries) ), but it was still cool.

I had huge expectations, easily one of my most anticipated movie and I was blown away. I dig the first one, LOVE the second one (now my third favorite superhero movie) and enjoy the third one despite its many flaws. TASM easily beats every one of those, I dont like comparing but it's just obvious.

Andy is incredible, really, I was blown away by him in Boy A, TSN, he was excellent in Never Let Me Go as well, but this is a notch above, he literally is Peter Parker, I couldnt believe what I was seeing, he has such a range of emotions.

There is a montage after he's bit by the spider, and it's hysterical, everyone was laughing, I was in tears, he has such comic abilities, and also, there are some emotional moments (yeah yeah), and when he cries, something happens, there's a childish quality already seen in Boy A, or NLMG, you just buy it. He has a nerdish quality, but they also show, finally that Peter is truly a genius.

When Tobey was crying, well, it felt forced, and a bit ridiculous. Andy is just so likeable, everyone praises him but not enough to my taste, truly one of the best if not best superhero performance ever.

Emma is great as well, great obvious chemistry with Andy. Rhys is surprising as Curt Connors when you know him from other movies. He nails it, and the Lizard surprisingly looks pretty damn good, quite convincing.

Leary is great as Cap Stacy, so are Martin Sheen and Sally Field, Uncle Ben and Aunt May are quite present in the movie, especially Ben, I felt way more invested in the character, and his death is a fantastic scene, way more powerful than in the Raimis, Andy in those moments is so genuine, there is no cheating, and you'll laugh at me, but when he cried, I shed a few tears as well :D

The movie is really funny, hilarious scenes throughout, there is also definitely a 500 Days Of Summer feel (to me), it's witty, plenty of charm, warmth, but also on the romance side, it's all very natural, grounded.

It sometimes gets serious, and I feel that Webb nails those changes of tones, just like he did in 500 Days, there is a true vision here, it's not some yesman just doing what he's told.

The action as well is top notch, and it is visually absolutely spectacular, gorgeous cinematography, great choreography, the CG is top notch, Spidey feels much more realistic in its animation, they are clearly using (as they said) the practical stuff as a reference, and the practical stuff is really awesome as well. Iconic poses straight out of the comic books are everywhere, the framing gets really creative, and it feels comic booky more than once.

The 3D is spectacular, and really brings some WOW factor to the whole thing, great depth throughout, very natural, and the action scenes look great, and the webslinging (last 30 min are insane) is out of this world, there is a scene where the audience was cheering, and it's like 2 min of webslinging, with popping out 3D, and it is GEEK HEAVEN, I was seriously creaming my pants live.

The origin stuff is pretty similar but the tone is completely different, and I dont know, I didnt for once think of Spidey 1, it feels fresh and new. The parents stuff is there in the first 10 min, and serves as an emotional counterpoint for who Peter is, there are quite a few controversial lines from the trailers "do you have any idea who you really are", "do you think it was an accident" that aren't there, which makes me think that they might have dropped some elements, either because it didnt test well or because they're saving it for the sequels.

I think so because it is referenced throughout the movie, there is a pretty insistent shot at the beginning of the movie, on something in a jar and the after credits scene clearly addresses it.

Very excited for the next villain.

Oh and the ending shot of the movie is in one of the gifs posted on this thread, the web comes out of the screen, awesome.

Before I forget, I think the score is fantastic, and it really elevates the movie, quite epic, eerie, emotional.

Can't wait to see it again, this will be a big hit, WOM will be stellar.

[blame space]

i would drink emma stone's bath water

[JB1981]

Haha this guy loves EVERYTHING. Im beginning to think you're a joke character, Pink

[ezekial45]

Sorry i'm late to this, but I just saw the advance ticket screenings from the viral site

http://www.oscorpindustries.com/hybrid

It's pretty interesting of them to make the tickets available on the same night as the screenings.

[Caboose]

I hate when people refer to Garfield as "Andy". He's not your friend and you don't know him personally.

[depths20XX]

Seems a lot of people aren't really excited for this. Definitely too soon for a reboot.

[Anastacio]

What?

It's predicted to have a HUGE 6-day opening.

[Speedymanic]

For fuck sake.

Why do they do this? Showing the end shot in a fucking trailer? Fuckheads. :x

Thanks for the mini review, hype levels are at maximum. :D

[SRG01]

There are tickets for July 2nd, 8pm in my city. Is that even possible?

[THE-Pink-Dagger]

I hate when people refer to Garfield as "Andy". He's not your friend and you don't know him personally.

Hum I dont like using last names and hum I do whatever the fuck I want? Oh and at the remark saying that I love everything: I just go see only movies that I really want to see, and thus am inclined to liking them.

But hey, thanks for trying to discredit me.

[THE-Pink-Dagger]

For fuck sake. Why do they do this? Showing the end shot in a fucking trailer? Fuckheads. :x Thanks for the mini review, hype levels are at maximum. :D

Easy there, it's just a swinging shot like in the Raimis, there's no real spoiling in there.

[Coppertracks]

Very excited for the next villain.

So who is it and how is it hinted at? I don't mind being spoiled! (Although please put the answer in spoiler tags or PM me :) )

[THE NO LIFE KING]

did someone say spider-man thread?

[Escape Goat]

Thread has a distinct lack of GoodJobBob trolling. I guess he's stockpiling all his ammo for release.

He gotta check first if the movie ends up having any ties with the MCU.

And it was so obvious that .gif of Spider-Man swinging toward the camera was the final shot of the movie, why the surprise? It's like telling you a Batman movie ends with him gliding or Superman flying.

So, who's the next baddie? Not sure if I want to know, but it's two weeks before I can watch it.

Simmer down there Tiger.

[TeegsD]

July just needs to get here so I can watch some Spidey in 3D. I seriously cannot wait

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Haha this guy loves EVERYTHING. Im beginning to think you're a joke character, Pink

Seriously, now you know how he gets to the premiere. How much did Sony slip you.

[Mr. Sam]

Lovely OP, Sentry!

I'm quietly optimistic about this one. I'm a big fan of Raimi's films (well, the first two) but think (hope) I could be pleasantly surprised by this one.

[HeySeuss]

It's simple. We kill the Batman.

[THE-Pink-Dagger]

Well, what I did was to connect on the website of the theater, and you know, well, order my tickets.......

After-credits scene:

Connors is locked up in jail, there's a man in the shadows, it's Norman Osborn, he has long hair, his face is never seen but we know it's him. We are told in the movie that he is dying, and that's why Dr Ratha is pressing Connors for results with his cross-species experiment, to what end? it's not told, but I'm ready for full Ultimate Green Goblin organic like. Bring it! Oh and Norman is played by Michael Massee, awesome!

[SilentProtagonist]

I've never been in something like this, everyone yelling, cheering, clapping at every funny moment, when Spidey shows up, when it gets epic. It was nice at first but a bit annoying at the end.

I take it you didn't watch The Avengers for the first 3 weeks it was out.

What? It's predicted to have a HUGE 6-day opening.

So it's atleast going to be as good as all of those Transformers movies?

[Kammie]

Seen it on Tuesday (French premiere, about 2000 people) and it was so epic.

All this is what I wanted to hear.

I just want to geek out. I think this movie will cater to that.

[TDK Rises]

Quick question GAF! The real IMAX near my place is playing Spiderman, but it doesn't have 3D. Should I see it there or just go to the AMC LieMAX which does have 3D?

[Sentry]

I guess you could say this OT is... Amazing.

Thanks again for letting me take it off your hands!

Lovely OT. But no "A Spider Rises"? For shame.

I wanted to go with that but simplicity seemed to be the consensus. Also would rather not have all those bane wearing gaffers hate me forever. :lol

So, maybe spoilery question about the lizard (I haven't watched the movie) has it been confirmed if the lizard will look crappy through the entire film, or were the rumours true that he would "evolve" to look more like the current (or more mainstream) version? Would be awesome if true

Nope, doesn't seem to be the case at all. :\ He speaks a lot as the Lizard apparently, so the snout thing was never a real end-all option. I've gotten used to the non-snout tbh.

2 more reviews (french): 1st one is negative 1.5/5 and is on RottenTomatoes http://www.filmosphere.com/movie-rev...Filmosphere%29 2nd one is positive 4.5/5 and is on RottenTomatoes http://www.cinemateaser.com/2012/06/...-man-chronique

Yikes! 91% (same as the user score coincidentally) with 11 reviews on RT atm, only two 'top critics' both being positive/fresh.

Seen it on Tuesday (French premiere, about 2000 people) and it was so epic. [wall of text]

I thought you were banned! Knew you were seeing it early so I was afraid it was a perma and we'd never hear your thoughts. Sounds like it was everything you hoped for and more. As a spidey fan I think i'll probably fall in a similar category as you just because i'm hopeful for the new franchise as a whole. :p Most of the reviews say Lizard wasn't that great (CG and character-wise), so care to elaborate?

And it was so obvious that .gif of Spider-Man swinging toward the camera was the final shot of the movie, why the surprise?

Yup, I even said so when I posted that gif in the other thread. :p I'm really curious who they're going to go with next. Gonna be very tricky IMO. The Irfan rumors as Proto Gob are displeasing to me.

[THE-Pink-Dagger]

Lizard looked good seriously. What some might have a problem with must be his design, because the CG itself is really solid.

You've seen the movie?

[THE-Pink-Dagger]

Do you read this thread?!

I posted my review above.

[matt360]

Going to see a sneak preview in Japan tomorrow! Can't wait!

[firen]

Wall of Spider-Text

I am really excited for this film and thank you for making me even more excited!

[Sentry]

A ridiculously spoilerific (yet official) clip has been making its rounds on YT, i'd rather not post it. Dialog exchange between Irfan's character and Conners. Reveals quite a bit imo.

There's also a Pete/Gwen clip, a high school dialog scene where he's trying to ask her out. Webb really shines here, and they nail that awkwardness that embodies Parker. It's perfect.

[zomgbbqftw]

Going to go see this on Tuesday (26th). :D :D

[James-Ape]

I saw this tonight, it's good fun.

[apana]

Not sure how I feel about this right now. It's Spiderman so I guess I have to go but I'm not all that hyped. Is watching 3D on a normal screen (non Imax) a good idea? I've never watched a 3D film before, I've been on 3D rides though.

[Claude]

Girlfriend says she is taking me day 1 to go see this before I go to work.

Between this and The Amazing Spider-Man Game, I'll be exposed to lots of Spidey for the next couple of weeks.

I too am excited for this.

[Busty]

WOW. This OP was started three days ago and it's only four pages? While GAF activity is by no means a metric to measure anything this still seems a little quiet to me.

I know that the hype for this film is nowhere near the buzz of an Avengers or a TDKR but even still, where are GAF's Spidey fans?

We kind of said everything in the previous thread. TASM will be a victim of Sony's extra long two year hype campaign IMO, people have seen too much and heard too much about it for far too long.

Everything that people wanted to say about this film has already been said so now this OT represents a dignified silence?

It feels to me that there is a distinct lack of excitement for this film and this is reflected in the thread. Perhaps when the US media start releasing reviews things might pick back up again.

[Salvor.Hardin]

I certainly wish there was more excitement for this because I find it to be quite fun to discuss the character and his comic books, but it seems gaf in particular hasn't been terribly interested in this movie from the onset. Odd complaints about Garfield being a hipster and an obsession about his hair has been really telling about how this movie was going to be received here. It doesn't help that this film is following the much loved Raimi trilogy, but also the much loathed third part.

[Anastacio]

I'm enormously excited, even super hyped. But yeah, it's like, it's hard to find the same excitement.

This is my second most awaited film only surpassed by 007 Skyfall. I'm not even interested in TDKR. I have even pre-ordered 5 tickets for the girlfriend and friends, if not family.

Though, I don't have anything more to add. I could have booked for July 2, dunno why I picked July 3 lol, maybe cause it's the official premiere. I hope for more impressions and reviews in here, hopefully from those who know the comic Spidey as well.

Another thing, I seriously don't get the GAF hate that has been lasting for months. A quick reboot? So what.

Andrew Garfield is one of my favorite actors, Emma Stone is my favorite actress alongside Ellen Page and Natalie Portmann and Marc Webb is directing; he did (500) Days of Summer; probably my favorite movie in the year it released. I never liked Toby Maguire, and loathed Kirsten Dunst. Still like the trilogy.

This movie will probably perfect for me, though, I do admit I'm not too fond of The Lizard. Hopefully Kraven or Mysterio is in one of the sequels.

It kind of feels like it. Not only that, but we already know so much about the movie from the long clips Sony have released and they have already been discussed to death in the previous thread. There is nothing new coming out about this movie until the US review embargo ends on the 27th(?) when we can hate on reviewers who love Raimi-Man rather than Spider-Man.

[Sentry]

Yeah, everything was discussed to hell in the other thread, at this point we just wait until more people get their early screenings and gaffer opinions trickle out.

I think if you're down on the entire idea you might come out thinking it was a good movie/story but still didn't feel like you got anything substantial out of it akin to the first SM movie. Otherwise (everyone else) will probably enjoy it. A reboot is a reboot regardless of how good it is, there's no playing down the fact that we've seen a hell of a lot of spidey in action over the years, and this is just more of that (amazing or not).
