The Amazing Spider-Man : Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

Well, do you? Or are you fine with how The Amazing Spider-Man 2 turned out?

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

Yes, I do. This was one of my main problems with it. I loved the tone that was set in TASM 1, but TASM2 felt almost like it was made by completely different people for some reason.

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

I think people complained that the first film was too dark (I disagree) so Sony probably told the film makers to lighten things up for the second film

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

I feel the same way.

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

Both movies are garbage but the second one is more tolerable.

I always tell the truth, even when I lie.

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

Yes for sure, I liked this one but the second one was easily the weakest Spider-Man film

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

Nah, Spider-Man 3 is the weakest Spider-Man film.

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

Nope.

Spiderman 3 is a masterpiece compared to the horrific The Amazing Snoozeman movies.

I always tell the truth, even when I lie.

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

i liked how it turned out, what was so great about the first movie, i actually think the second one is better

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

I think they should have just made Spider-Man 4 than either of these 2.

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

That was one of the things that pissed me off about TASM2. It was WAY too different from TASM1. Tone wise and as well as the color palette and it was pretty obvious that they was copying the most trendy CBM at the time. While filming TASM1 in 2010/2011 it was Batman Begins and The Dark Knight while throwing in some Raimi elements, while it was The Avengers in 2013 with TASM2. Just imagine how Gwen's death would've looked like with TASM1's color palette and tone. I also didn't like how they completely changed the score from TASM1. If Horner didn't want to come back, you could've kept some of his score. Spider-Man 3 kept some of Elfman's score from the first two movies when he didn't come back for that movie. Why didn't they do the same for this movie? It would've atleast made TASM2 feel more connected with TASM1.

You could look at it the other way, in my opinion the color palette of TASM2 was much closer to what it should have been for TASM1. I like both movies but TASM's look is just too dark and dreary for a Spiderman movie.

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?


TASM's look is just too dark and dreary for a Spiderman movie.

That's one of the reasons why I liked it. It was one of the ONLY things that made TASM1 stand out from the Raimi movies and to see them throw that away as well as the tone was extremely disappointing. You can't have the first one look and have a somewhat dark and dreary tone and then have the sequel be more colorful and lighthearted even though you're killing Gwen Stacy off.

This was part of the problem for me, too. I loved Horner's score. I wished he'd returned for the second movie, but since he didn't, why did they change it completely?

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

Um no because this is 2 and that was 1. Too dark? This movie was corny as hell they just phoned in the whole back story even though we all know it already but if you're gna pit it in the movie don't do it half ass. I honestly didn't care at all about any of the characters and Garfield was totally unconvincing and pretty lame actually. As I've said before maybe the effects were better but that's because it was made more recently.

Re: Do you think Amazing Spider-Man 2 should have been more like TASM1?

I didn't think the styles of the movies were that different. But a lot of story points from the first movie were pretty much disregarded in the sequel (Peter breaks up with Gwen, Norman barely appears and dies rather than being a big influence/character) and that was very much for the worse.
