ORIGINAL UPLOAD DATE: July 8, 2012 The string of quality summer blockbusters continues with The Amazing Spider-Man. Mike, Jay, along with their new friend Rich, discuss while wanting to kill themselves.
Well, I feel like gas is alot worse than the blue sky beam. Blue sky beam is just a visual that’s used in completely different ways in different movies, whereas gas is pretty much the exact same plan repeated every time. “Release the powerful weapon to destroy the city!”
@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770yea, one is a repetitive visual, the other is a trope. Only one of those is because of a lazy writer (which I assume was RLM's issue with it too).
I wish I could go back in time 10 years and show these guys the top worldwide box office earnings as they are today. A Spider-Man movie now at #6 and people universally praising Andrew Garfield's return as the character. Wild times.
That's because it had already been happening a lot in 2012. what is impressive is not that RLM recognized an ongoing problem in 2012, but rather that general audiences STILL don't see the problem in 2024
***** Yeah, I'm pretty sure that they prefer the original trilogy, but i would like to see what they thought particularly of Spiderman 3 (IMO it was a 6/10)
jim jimjim Considering the length of his reviews, I'm sure he could just do all 3 films in one go. Better yet, wait until the 2nd SPiderman reboot comes out and have a Plinkett special comparing all six films! (Yeah, maybe that'd a bit too much spiderman...)
@@frankmerker630 Lindsay Lohan has progressively looked less and less like Lindsay Lohan for like 15 years now. The comparison is even less apt today than it was when this video was made.
AaronTheZombie Or just come up with a crazy nonsensical mashup. Like suddenly Michelangelo from the Turtles gets bitten by a mutated spider and, well, awesomeness ensues.
I personally think Doc Ock is his arch-nemesis. He's very much involved in his life and they have more of a competitive relationship than most of the other villains.
I rewatched this film for first time since theaters. I was stuck by how good the cast is and how high the production values were and how terrible this script was. What a shame.
This movie is a functional product and that's it. Nothing truly *bad* about it but nothing truly good about it. EVERYTHING in this movie has been done before. It was the personification of average.
seeing as it's Sony, you can tell the amazing spider-man was crafted by test audiences and or edited to be by the books mediocre. What pissed me off was having a whole "you're parents were secretly special scientists and you were always destined to have your powers" plot line, which kills the entire idea of fate and someone rising to the challenge by their own vocation and not becasue they were destined to do so.
And ZAAT continues to make it's mark on history and influence movie makers well into future generations. Orson Welles made a soft reboot called Citizen Kane as a tribute.
26:58 - Rich Evans passively listening to his friends talk about films he's not interested in is exactly how I feel when my friends talk about films I'm not interested in.
I like that after the unfair (and wrong) criticisms of the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films, with this completely unnecessary remake everyone realised how good they actually were. The first Spider-Man film absolutely nailed it in every way you can translate a comic book to film. The origin and personality of Parker and how he has to come up against the Goblin were done brilliantly. Spider-Man 2 took things up a notch and is not only the best Spider-Man film, but probably the best superhero film ever made. The remake version of Parker is clothes-model good looking...exactly what Parker isn't supposed to be. You're not going to get the exact personality from the comic translated perfectly to film, but the original Spider-Man got this so right.
fartmagizewarth Why don't they? They put the work into creating the content. Watching an ad doesn't cost you anything, and it helps support them in creating more content.
I love the sewer fight scene with the camera taking photos of the Lizard. Because that camera has Peter Parker's name on it. Because of that I can't believe that Peter Parker in the Amazing Spider-man franchise would be even able to tie his shoes, let alone contruct web shooters or make a costume.
I from 5 years in the future, Uncle Ben's Rice doesn't exist anymore because of far left cancel culture. Yeah, it turns out Marxists want to run the world now.
@@moviemetalhead Yeah I remember the news stories but perhaps it was only in the US. Because I'm telling you I'm looking at a picture of Uncle Ben on my rice right now
This film felt a little more sad than Fant4stic though. The behind the scenes drama of Fant4stic reveals that the director was trying his best to take the movie in a new direction, and the studio made him do reshoots to make the film their way. The Amazing Spiderman feels a little bit more like the whole crew was just doing exactly what the studio said. Fant4stic is probably worse, but at least it felt like they were trying something.
Thatguy7242 Why? Calling it Fant4stic is not only a good way to mock the marketing of the film, but also distinguish it from the other three Fantastic Four films. It may be crude, but it's effective.
11:15 I think part of the answer to this is that Peter Parker is a scientist so in classic comic book fashion, where villains are bad reflections of the hero, they are too. Its a really easy way to let the hero do more than just punch things, and a lot of comic heroes will have villains like that. Its like how Batman is a detective and so all of his villains are, naturally, unpredictable criminals. Unfortunately, scientist villains always, inherently, fall somewhere on the 2 point spectrum of "mad scientist" and "unfortunate monster-man". Even more unfortunate is that "the mad scientist" has become one of the most dated and cheesiest chichés in modern story telling.
16:41 Don't forget No.5 - Superman the Movie, Lex Luthor threatened "In approximately five minutes, a poison gas pellet containing propane lithium compound will be released through thousands of air ducts in the city, effectively annihilating half the population of metropolis".
I think it's something interfering with Mike's lapel mic. You can notice the high-pitch stops when its signal is edited out. Also, Rich's lapel is either too hot and/or positioned poorly and he's overdriving it when he speaks.
Actually, it is interference. Start @ 20:20 and you can hear the pitch shift as Mike's body moves. Probably something that was hard to notice even while monitoring the signal.
I'm watching this because I watched the film for the first time in preparation for No way home and they're talking about Batman and it's like there's been 3 different Batman since and a couple of Spidermans.
That’s ridiculous. This was during the dark knight. And Batman is a character who can totally work within reinterpretation and director visions. All of Batman’s villains could be their own contained well made drama. At the time, spider man had not proven that.
They can never get over a superhero movie attempting to be serious. No shit the plot concepts are goofy, it’s essentially a cartoon but in-world it’s not as far fetched
Also I only recently found you guys, and it is amazing how prescient you have been, almost like certain film makers have been watching you and stealing some of your ideas, the good ones and the bad ones lol.
For some reason I just keep obsessing an what those things are in the middle three rows of the vending machine behind Rich and Mike. I can't tell what they are since they're not placed facing foreword, and they aren't in the coils, so they won't get pushed out. My OCD just feels my money being wasted and I want to kick the machine!
