The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Movie Review 

The scene with the little boy was actually Andrew Garfield's idea. He wanted to do that.

"Walking into a war zone with no weaponry." Hey, that's what Andrew Garfield did!

There's a deleted scene in which it's revealed that Richard Parker has been alive the whole time and reveals himself to Peter. They didn't know what the fuck they were doing.

Gwen dying was sad. It’s the best scene in the movie.

Honestly I bought this movie on 3D blu-ray just so I can laugh at it more. 3/10 worse than Jupiter Ascending. Amazing comedy material. Watched the original Raimi Spider-Man recently and realized we will probably never see a superhero movie like it again. So great. His style suits the genre perfectly.

"Gwen Stacy goes from high to low..." Pun intended?

I like this movie because it made Andrew Garfield quit being Spider-Man and become the great actor that he was meant to be after the social network, he's doing movies like hacksaw ridge and silence now because he's not doing Spider-Man

I think one thing they got right with Spider-Man was that he always tried to reason with villains who he first knew as nice people. He tried to get through to The Lizard in Midtown; he tried to calm Electro down when he realised he was the guy with the blueprints he saved some time ago; finally, he tried to talk Harry out of hurting Gwen instead of fighting him immediately. Rhino was already a criminal when they first met so he gets a pass.

Nostalgia Critic rated this better than the Sam Raimi series. I respect Stuckmanns opinions much much more.

Gwen Stacy in this movie is like Padme in Revenge of the Sith, her only real purpose is to have romance scenes and die.

I've seen 99 Homes, Silence and Hacksaw Ridge ages ago and this proves that Andrew Garfield doesn't need to be successful in these Spider-Man films to be the best

Raimi's movie are superior

After Civil War, I went back and rewatched the Raimi films that I grew up with. Forgot how good they are. I even don't mind Spider-Man 3. It's one of my guilty pleasures. It's not a great film, but it's not an absolute trainwreck either.

Tell that to Gwen's snapped neck.

Tell that to gwen staceys snapped neck

The scene where Gwen’s speech is edited over Spidey and Rhino actually touched me.

The original trilogy was better in my opinion.

My name is Peter, so when Chris said "THIS IS MY LIFE, PETER!! I MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS, PETER!!!" I got really disturbed

Soooo, Sony didn't really learn from SM3 for jamming in too many villains.

And you thought Spider-Man 3 was bad! Spider-Man 3's critical reception wasn't the reason Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy was rebooted. it's because Sam and Sony didn't see eye to eye during development of Spider-Man 4 and Sam just quit. Keep in mind Sony interfered with Spider-Man 3 which is why it didn't work. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films didn't need to be rebooted but we got and we all suffered.

Like if Spiderman was one of the best parts of Civil War

SPIDER-MAN 3 IS A BETTER MOVIE THAN THIS!!!! Yeah, I said it. COME AT ME!!!

I don't hate it, but the Raimi trilogy is quite a bit better IMO.

Spider-Man 3 is underrated. The fight scenes were great, the music was great, and the transformation into Venom was awesome. It's the dancing scene and the night club scenes that ruined it for most people.

At least Marvel will treat Spider-Man with the dignity the character deserves.

Fuck these TASM movies...Tom Holland will fill the void in our hearts...thank goodness

Spider-Man: I never said thank you? Marvel: And you'll never have to!

Why is Raimi's trilogy even being compared to this? Raimi's films are in a different league!

This film was a fucking train wreck. Even the deleted scenes are disgusting.

Spider Man 2 is still the best one.

At least its better than the new fantastic four

I think most of us will agree that Andrew Garfield was a great Spider-Man but the plot and writing in these movies were subpar

"Why isn't there an E grade?" "Because Americans."

Actually Harry Osborne getting the disease at an earlier age is called Anticipation (genetics) it's a form of gene expansion. So that is rather quite accurate, the movie as a whole is still terrible though.

I disagree when you said you didn't feel for Gwen's character when she dies. This movie was horse-shit, but I actually felt for her character at that moment.

But no one can deny that Gwen's death scene was epic regardless of other events

This is a bad movie, but damn that is the best Spider-Man costume in any movie.

8:21 It shows 0 dislike, yet the dislike bar clearly displays the negative area. They even messed something as simple as that up.

Should've been a Hilariocity review

6:41 "Sony's nasty little hands." 😂😂😂😂

That Spiderman opening sequence makes him look like Deadpool :(

hey remember when he liked this movie lol

6:05 My goodness the suit in this movie is so beautiful and perfect. What a damn shame it just went to waste

This used to be such a guilty pleasure movie for me. But I've seen Homecoming now and I can never go back.

The Spidey-Suit in this is the best we ever had in a movie. I'm serious, I love it!

The Sam Raimi movies trump the other ones for one reason to me. Bonesaw is READY! Savage fucking ruled!

The Nit picking level on this review is too damn High!

"Sony is the green goblin!" truer words have never been spoken

If Joel Shumacher made this movie, there'd be way more color and lots of nipples. Lots and lots of spider-nipples.

Spiderman-2 will always be the best Spiderman movie. In my opinion of course.

Ah yes, this movie. The trailers made this look AMAZING and I was really behind Jamie Fox as Electro. I feel like this movie would have been amazing had I been 12 years old again seeing the first Maguire film.

Good things: The suit & CGI Bad things: Everything else

I realize how immature I am when he said "Gwen Stacy is off and on with Peter" and I giggled.

Hans Zimmer had little to no input on the score Chris. They just slapped his name on it because...well...he's Hans Zimmer.

Spiderman A Spiderman 2 A+ Spiderman 3 C+ The Amazing Spiderman B- The Amazing Spiderman 2 C- Captain America Civil War A Spiderman Homecoming A-

Thank you, someone finally addressed the weird dubstep theme

And yet Nostalgia Critic defends it...

My ranking 1. Spider-Man 2 2. Spider-Man 1 3. Amazing Spider-Man 4. Spider-Man 3 5. Amazing Spider-Man 2 6. Amazing Spider-Man 3... oh wait that got cancelled... at least Homecoming is coming out this Friday.

"Electro plays the itsy bitsy spider song". So? Green Goblin sings it in the first movie...

6:53 you know what Chris maybe you should be the green goblin

I am a big fan of Tobey Maguire as Spiderman/Peter Parker. Andrew Garfield, not so much, but that might be because the movies sucked. Tom Holland was excellent in Civil War. Just the most perfect casting choice. Unfortunate that he got so little screen time. I'm looking forward to his stand alone film.

I really dislike this movie, so bad. Only worth is Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy. I choose Spider-Man 3 all the way over Amazing Spider-Man series.

One of the things I absolutely hated about this movie is the stupid subplot involving peter's parents. Not only was it done terribly, it never was supposed to be a main focus of spider man story.

I honestly love Mary Jane way more than Gwen Stacy in the movies and never understood why people gave MJ so much slack that she was a damsel in distress, I mean, damn, the lady was just a regular citizen and was always against superpowered villains.

They never should have made this movie or the first one.

I really hated this movie

This movie is absolutely terrible. Thank the lord marvel and Disney have people that know what they're doing

Spider-Man movies rated (my opinion!) Spider-Man: A Spider-Man 2: A+ Spider-Man 3: B- The Amazing Spider-Man: C+ The Amazing Spider-Man 2: C- Spider-Man Homecoming: B Spider-Man Far From Home: B+

tobey will always be my Spider-Man

I've turned off only three movies without completing them. This was one of of the three.

It's the "The Room" of superhero films.

I just came back to see how savage this was.

I know I'm gonna get flack for saying this... You thought Peter was an oblivious idiot in SM3? I'd actually argue that Gwen in ASM 2 is even MORE of an oblivious idiot for the reasons Chris stated. Why? Because unlike Peter in Raimi's first two movies who was properly fleshed out and developed, Gwen had no character to her in ASM 1. And as Chris said, for some reason she just has to be at the most dangerous place regardless her not having any kind of feeling of "Maybe I should stay out of the way here." She keeps grabbing the metal bar when there's electricity flying everywhere, she completely defies Peter's demand to stay put, and then when the Green Goblin shows up she just walks out into the open towards Peter and Harry..... WHY doesn't she at least try to keep a safe distance from them? Oh right, because it's Gwen Stacy who's famous for her death which was only done to please the fans who want everything to be 100% accurate to the source material.

I hated when the final battle kept cutting back to the airplane back and forth out of NOWHERE just to have completely POINTLESS "tension" when really the movie just has ADD lmao

Literally, fuck this film. It's a prime example of "Let's hold the rights even longer!" As you said, the film tried to develop a Universe in one film. It doesn't work that way, it takes time. While many would disagree, Raimi's Spider-Man 3 was a better constructed film. Yes, I prefer Raimi's film because they were good in general comic fan (Yes, before you ask. I read comics. Spider-Man is actually my favorite hero of all time. ) or not. They're timeless, watch'em today & it'll still work well. The movies have heart, which something The Amazing Spider-Man series lacked, they're forgettable. Funny, because people doesn't even acknowledge TASM series. It was a "Done & go".

my favourite Spider-Man movies in order: 1. Spider-Man 2 2. Spider-Man 3. Spider-Man: Homecoming 4. Spider-Man 3 5. The Amazing Spider-Man 6. The Amazing Spider-Man 2

You know how people say things get better with age? Yeah... I feel like this film does the opposite, it just gets worse with time.

What bothers me the most from TASM 2 is the fact that it opens with scenes about Peter's parents struggling to do something implicitly really important to the plot which will be revealed somewhere later in the movie, and when that moment finally shows up, it turns out only to be a video of Richard Parker telling whomever he's sending the video to about "Oscorp is bad, the cure only works for my DNA". That was all the untold story that had been built up from the first movie, that's it. The first mistake of that scene is, it did not advance the story whatsoever. Peter had refused to give his blood to Harry even before he knew that the cure only worked for him, so what's the point of him knowing all of that shit his father telling him about? Then, the next act we saw after Peter found that video was the supposedly epic conclusion with battles and shits, and having the knowledge of what his father told him did not help him at all in the battle. So, wtf is that vidro all about? Second, sending that video was just stupid meaningless thing to do. What would that video do... anything... at all? Would sending the video to a secret subway help anyone? Whom did Richard Parker send that video to? Why is there even a secret subway and only Richard Parker knew about it? It's not like he owned that damned place, right? Or, did he? If so, how the F? And on top of that, Richard Parker gave his life for the sake of doing exactly that useless thing. It is the highest possible stupidity ever.

The whole fixing the gap had me dying😂😂😐

Andrew Garfield’s performance and characterization in No Way Home was so good it tricked people into thinking this movie was actually halfway decent.

I actually kinda enjoy this movie. Still, the Raimi films are p much better.

Spider-Man 3 is superior to this and it's predecessor in almost every way. And unfortunately that movie gets a lot of hate, for some reason.

Sony is like the activision of movies lol

This review is so funny. I rewatch everytime to have a little fun time. Though it's bad that the movie went bad, I'm a spiderman fan boy too. But man this review is so genuinely funny

"Sony IS the Green Goblin." So true.

You know what, I've got a feeling you watched "everything wrong with the amazing spider-man 2" before making this video. "Gwen Stacy is just there, she's completely useless", although she was the one in the first movie who evacuated all those people in Oscorp and probably saved their lives, she gave her father the antidote, she was the one that helped in the 2nd movie, to defeat Electro, she brought the electricity back up and saved hundreds of lives on those 2 planes, I mean yeah compared to MJ that was only there to be saved by spider-man, Gwen is useless.

Am I the only one who actually likes this movie… like a lot

I'm not gonna lie, I enjoyed 75% of it.

Your Harry impression was hilarious!

I actually thought this movie was okay, t wasn't terrible. It's actually my 3rd favorite SpiderMan movie. The action was great, the music was great (What's your problem with the music Chris?) and most of the performances were pretty good, especially Garfield, Stone, and DeHaan; I liked those characters, even though most people didn't. (Though I will admit, Jamie Foxx as Electro was TERRIBLE!) Giamatti was weak, (but I don't even count him as a real villain), and the story was a mess, but I was exited to see the Sinister Six on the big screen for the first time, and everything else this universe was willing to offer. I was still willing to give it a chance. But, because most weren't, I'll never get to see it, which I'm kinda bummed about. The good news is, Marvel's got SpiderMan now (sort of) which was always a dream of mine. And Holland nailed it as SpiderMan in Civil War. So I'm still happy with how things turned out.

The suit was great in this one. Gwen and the goblin ending felt like we got an ending to another movie. Original spiderman 1 & 2 are my fav's. Amazing seemed like a mess of setting up the future. MCU spiderman films are entertaining, but where are the stakes? Never any real weight.

While Hans Zimmer worked on the soundtrack< it was mainly pharrell williams that fucked it up.

This review is HIGHLY rewatchable 😂😂😂

Amazing Spider-Man was a mess. But Andrew Garfield was a genius

Emma Stone personally wrote Gwen's graduation speech. This is the first "Spider-Man" film to be filmed entirely in New York [State] and the largest film production ever in New York City.

For the love of gosh.. ITS NOT THAT BAD!!!! Just enjoy the movie it's made for fun not seriousness or to be intriguing its there to entertain and the special effects and action are stellar and I personally think the Parker's backstory is very interesting. So just enjoy the movie.

The Spiderman in this movie basically acts like Deadpool in fact less lives were probably lost in the highway action scene in Deadpool than in TASM 2's opening.

I really liked Gwen's character more than Mary Jane's in the Toby Maguire films. idk that's the only thing I like better though.

This review was HILARIOUS! You really went in on it Chris :). Also I wanted to thank you for all these reviews and your take on every film through various perspectives. Not only was I able to widen my selection of films to watch but it also made me appreciate films for so many other things like character development, cinematography, angles etc.

Tom Holland = Tobey Maguire > Andrew Garfield
