Last Movie You Saw/Recommendations

[Xanatos]

Not true. Mary Jane may be a more popular character, but Gwen Stacy was in fact his first love, his first girlfriend. No, they did not originally meet in high school, they met in college, huge difference I guess.

Curt Connors and Norman Osborn went through similar procedure with different intentions which resulted into two completely different villains, both appearance and personality wise. Similar origin story, true, but two different villains in nature and motives, as comic book-y as it gets, really. I would have went with Lizard as well, one of the earliest (had first appearance before even Green Goblin), most personal and one of the most popular Spider-Man villains ever, aside Green Goblin, no other villain would suffice for a first movie.

And yes, it is a lot more faithful to its original source, starting with Peter Parker and Spider-Man himself. Even Lizard is more faithful to its original version compared to Raimi's Green Goblin, appearance wise foremost. Then there are tons of small details, no Raimi film can match the amount of easter eggs and references featured in The Amazing Spider-Man.

As for his parents, they do play a huge role in both original comics and the Ultimate universe, I'm actually glad they did not ignore this fact, another reason really why The Amazing Spider-Man is more faithful to its source.

Ok fair enough on the Gwen stuff, i didnt read many Spidey comics so i dont really know much about Gwen, (i didnt have a problem with the Gwen/Spidey parts at all really, just thought she came in the college years and MJ was a constant through highschool, they were the only things that were fresh/different) but with regards to the Doc Connors comments, im not saying his motives were the same, infact i havent said that at all, im saying how Spidey1 and the amazing spidey1 played out were very very similar as movies with regards to scene for scene. It felt like i was watching the same movie again in that regard, and i feel they should have atleast tried to make it different. If they went with a different villain it would have been better, Mysterio or kingpin and we would have had a much different film and it wouldnt have felt the same..

Doesn't always need to have a in depth plot that gets my mind ticking to enjoy the flick. It's humor and good action scenes kept me entertained enough to not care about the crappy villain and shallow plot.

It bloody does if you're giving it an 8, the plot is the most important part when telling a story, C'mon!!

Thats only a B- on a grade scale, meaning (to me anyways) slightly above average. Would a 7.5 be more fitting? I'm in the minority here giving it a 8 while its got a 92% Critic and 98% Audience on RT.
I guess worthless isn't a good way to put it, perhaps not as noticeable as the humor and action scenes do a good job of hiding what isn't there.
