Why does everyone hate this movie again? It's a solid 7/10 at least.

Peter Parker skateboarding scene for Hot Topic profits undoes anything positive Andrew Garfield ever could have done.

How was he a Chad?
Literally the only thing wrong with him, but even then it wasn't that much of a deal.
Chase James
The acting wasn't as good, nor was the origin story handled as well, and the villain was pretty snooze worthy.
The most unforgivable sin was that the webslinging wasn't exciting

>peter was too much of a Chad lol what, did you watch the movie? He was awkward as fuck
Levi Morgan
Am I the only one who enjoyed the skateboarding scene? It was pretty cool desu, you could argue pointless but the whole thing was to show him discovering his powers, and I thought skateboarding was an interesting and grounded way to show that
Caleb Hernandez
its not awful the raimi trilogy is just way better.
>shitty writing and acting >unmemorable music >shitty design all around from ASM1 suit to electro to new goblin
very unsatisfying underwhelming movie. with the right reworks it could've been way better.
Colton Nelson
>Peter was actually shown to be a genius and wasn't a total pushover like Raimi’s Peter was No, quite the opposite. Tobey was a genius, Garfield was just an average high school kid with good grades.
Raimi >Reads advanced Osborn papers by leading scientist Norman Osborn and gets complimented by him, a guy that rarely compliments anyone >Reads, understand and even notices flaws in cutting edge theoretical technology from Otto.
Garfield >Has to steal the web formula from oscorp >Has to watch a youtube video aimed to kids to understand how electricity works >Cant figure how a fucking magnet work (literally elementary school shit) and has to be reminded by Gwen >Cant figure how to shut down the power plant and puts Gwen in risk by letting her help him >It was just pressing a big fucking red button
I didnt read the rest because the first one already made me dismiss the rest of your shitpost
>Flash was blablabla Flash was literally a 1 minute cameo in the first movie, it wasnt 2 dimensional, it was just not featured on the fucking movie. If it was, probably would be more developed.

i dont like garfiel

>>Peter was actually shown to be a genius and wasn't a total pushover like Raimi’s Peter was I'm probably gonna get a ton of shit from you "MUH COMICS" faggots but I liked that Raimi's Peter was more dweeby than the comics. It made him more of an underdog. I don't give a shit that he had organic web shooters instead of mechanical ones. >>Gwen was actually a character and wasn't just some damsel in distress This is your one valid point. >>Flash was still a jock and a bully, but he also was shown to be more than just a 2 dimensional stereotype That's because he got a lot more screentime than Raimi's Flash. >>Uncle Ben felt like a real uncle and father figure to Peter Fuck you, Raimi's Uncle Ben was far more likeable. >>The origin was fleshed out more and the film has its own take on things instead of rehashing the plot from the comics/Raimi's films Okay, now I'm convinced you're baiting. Over half of the film shamelessly rehashed the comics/Raimi films and the stuff that wasn't a rehash was shit compared to the comics/Raimi films. >>Connors was more of a Jekyll/Hyde type character who loses control due to him wanting to get his arm back So? >>Film has a theme about the consequences of playing God and messing with things you shouldn't HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! >>Literally the perfect Spidey, from his quips to his fighting style He acted too much like a hipster dickhead.
Noah Hall
>Its a reboot Not an argument.
>hes a hipster not a nerd Explain how he's a "hipster"
>A ""nerd"" parkours in a random empty warehouse And? He just got his powers and was testing them out.
>he hunts for his uncles killer but stops to focus on the main villian Because he realizes that petty revenge isn't worth it, he needs to focus on the bigger picture like stopping the Lizard from infecting all of NY.
>In the original ramni, he found the killer and basically kills him to show peter a lesson and that killing and revenge is wrong And this film doesn't have the same theme of doing the right thing and taking responsibility for your actions?
>When thats thrown out here What?
>Forced awkwardness Yeah, it's about teenagers.
>Peter leaves his name on his fucking camera in the sewers And?
>leave it open ended for a sequel Okay?
>His mask is taken off in front of a fucking police helicopter light and squad people and yet nobody sees him
>aunt may is alot dumber and is just an old bitch How is she "dumber"?
>its a sony movie So were Raimi’s.

Blake Russell
my ex-fiance (gf at the time) met me at a restaurant before the movie and by the time we walked to the theater she had drank to much. She left in the middle to puke in the bathroom. She was sick all night and it wasn't the first time this had happened. Looking back, it was just another step in the downward spiral. I was a fool back then many years ago. I tried to enjoy the film and I liked many parts. But every time I think about it it makes me remember this blow from my young and stupid years.
6/10, the connors stuff was so dumbed down it hurt.
Adrian Robinson
>Raimi's Uncle Ben was far more likeable This, and he wasn't played by fucking Martin Sheen.
Leo Cooper
The fight in the sewers where he's trying to snap a picture of Lizard is pure kino
Ryan Gray
Are you seriously defending this forgetabble piece of shit?
This will be less remembered than the japenese spiderman show in less than 5 years
James Jackson
TASM is literally r3ddit bait. Peter is too hip and cool. There is no artistic vision. There is barely any thematic connection between the first, the second movie and whatever the second movie was setting up as sequels.
Assuming it was a trilogy, we ve seen 2/3 of it and literally nothing happened other than Gwen dying. One whole movie was wasted on the origin
Second movie was wasted on setting up a shit ton of crap for next movies then Osborn is dead, lil Osborn gets transformed and dies in 5 minutes, Dubslektro is completely irrelevant to everything, Peter is not really closer to solve the murder of his parents, the identity of the real mastermind was never shown or implied, would had to be a character not yet introduced in the first 2 movies. It has no sense of proper story or proper development.
Hell, Harry appears from thin air and disappears in the same way, you would have guessed Peter would have mentioned he was friend with the richest guy in the city. Or asked help intermediately when he found about the murder of his parents. Or at least try to contact him. But he doesnt. You can clearly see Harry inclusion is rushed and makes no sense.
Even if SM3 was shit at least it finished the tangible, developed journey of Harry and Peter. We've seen them as close friends, then Harry growing up resentful for his father liking more Peter, MK liking more Peter, then his hate for Spider-man, then his hate for both Peter and SM.
Then again, I repeat, SM3 was shitty, but at least it followed a coherent journey for the characters.
TASM is literally a family guy episode that goes to 1000 different places just to get nowhere.

uncle ben and aunt may were very good tho
Leo Howard
How to spot a casual Spider-Man fan: they say TASM had the best on-screen Spidey we've seen.
No, the Spidey in those movies is based on the comic personality long after the Raimi films started. The Spidey in those films is similar to the shitty newer MTV cel-shaded Spider-Man, and the Way-influenced Spidey everyone hates.
Read ANY 1960s-2000s Spider-Man comic and then tell me he's "the most accurate" one.

>Hey Parker! You better not forget my homework tomorrow. You wouldn't want the basketball team to take turns railing that sweet boipuccy of yours again, would you? Oh who am I kidding, of course you would.
Gavin Johnson
Toby did wisecrack when it was appropriate to in the Raimi movies. The bank heist in 2 was a fun relatively harmless scenario, he did wisecrack in that one. But most of the fight scenes he was in were serious situations. At the end of 1 he and Goblin are literally trying to fucking murder each other, Peter's face is a bloody pulp at that point after getting thrown through glass windows and brick walls. In 2 when he's trying to save the life of Aunt May or when Octopus is holding Mary Jane hostage, or how about when he's trying to murder Sandman in the subway because he killed his uncle? Why the fuck would he wisecrack in any of these situations? Just like Garfield in Amazing Spider-Man, he never wisecracked when saving the city from the Lizard's magical gas or when Harry was trying to kill Gwen.
So basically, Garfield's Spider-Man is less exicting, the situations he's in often have no weight or consequence to them, hence the wisecracking, while Raimi's Spider-Man is often in serious exciting situations.
Joshua Hernandez
When Raimi came out with his movies it felt like everybody wanted to be Spiderman, when ASM came out it felt like it wanted to be everyone else. The new Spiderman wants to be Marvel.
Carter Watson
He beat Up flash
Logan Collins
He got his ass kicked by him in the beginning. Only after getting his powers did he humiliate Flash at basketball, and after Ben died he didn't really "beat him up" as much as he did physically threaten him (Even though Flash was just trying to be nice). Even then, he never became popular as a result, so I don't understand where this "he's a Chad" rhetoric came from.
Gavin Wright
Its a reboot to simply made to make money and franchise it was made for nothing more
If peters a genius he wouldnt leave his fucking name on his camera especially when he has a hidden identity and leaves it near bad guys
Hes not a nerd, putting glasses on a hot guy is not a nerd, he actually looks built when peter parker is an anti social kid, not fucking built, who carries his books everywhere in his hands and doesnt have a skateboard and does that all day
nobody bullies someone after their uncles dies
The football team is suddenly ok with him throwing a football and breaking the goal
An entire swat team saw him without his mask under a fucking helicopter light, do not say that nobody saw him that would be bullshit
Aunt may is one dimensional when shes the parent figure to peters story
Ramni's film fleshes him out alot more
Nicholas Lewis
Because these movies couldn't have fun. The raimi movies were a little more over the top and cheesy but it was a comic book movie. TASM was just plain and boring.
Kevin Walker
Peter in the reboot wasn't a genius. He just stole everything from Oscorp to use and also in the second movie Gwen told him how to make something, I forgot what it was though. He didn't even think of it until she told him about it. He was a piece of shit.
Logan Gonzalez
>tfw no Dylan Baker Lizard or Bruce Campbell Mysterio
Samuel Edwards
>Its a reboot to simply made to make money and franchise it was made for nothing more You can say that about literally anything.
>If peters a genius he wouldnt leave his fucking name on his camera especially when he has a hidden identity and leaves it near bad guys He's just starting as a superhero. He's also been shown to be pretty arrogant and (after his powers) extremely cocky.
>Hes not a nerd, putting glasses on a hot guy is not a nerd, he actually looks built when peter parker is an anti social kid, not fucking built, who carries his books everywhere in his hands and doesnt have a skateboard and does that all day Pick up a Spider-Man comic and read it. Peter was never as much of a fucking whiny crybaby as Tobey's Peter was. It's an adaptation of Spider-Man, not a remake of the Raimi films. It's allowed to do its own thing.
>nobody bullies someone after their uncles dies Okay? Flash didn't bully him after that. No one bullied Peter, they were all shown to be sympathetic or they just got out of his way.
>The football team is suddenly ok with him throwing a football and breaking the goal That was humor. And they're never shown to be "okay" with it.
>An entire swat team saw him without his mask under a fucking helicopter light, do not say that nobody saw him that would be bullshit He was unmasked for a split second, and then immediately he took them down while keeping his head down. It would have been hard to see his face in all the commotion, and even harder to recognize him.
>Aunt may is one dimensional when shes the parent figure to peters story And she's an actual parent, scolding Peter for staying out and worrying for him when he comes back all beat up.
>Ramni's film fleshes him out alot more And this film doesn't?
Eli Thompson
>tfw I fucked up that greentext.
Lincoln Sullivan
>Pick up a Spider-Man comic and read it. Every fucking time. All of you ASM dickriders always resort to "muh comics". The funniest part is various aspects of ASM shit all over the comics but you resort to "muh comics" anyway because Andrew's Peter is slightly more accurate than Tobey's Peter.
Eli Kelly
The argument was about Peter, not every fucking thing. Of course an adaptation will change some things, but getting the characters right is probably the most important. Raimi's Spider-Man films are great films, but terrible adaptations of Spider-Man.

Jesus christ, came here to dismantle OP, but he already got fucking torn apart by this post.
Also notice my new IP before samefag accusations.
There. Also, like said, awkward people do not act this "quirky yet loveable" persona like Garfield had, and has shown up way too much in media in the past decade (especially those attempting to pander to "nerds" or grabs the "faux-nerd"/tumblr crowd).
Brody Moore
The reboot was basically to retain the Spider-Man rights before they defaulted back to Disney, iirc.
That's why they churned out that horrible sequel as well, at an attempt also to build their own cinematic universe + cash in more.
