I disagree I prefer MCU MJ and Tobey Maguire but I don’t get why these films get hated so much, they’re not masterpieces by any means whatsoever but they are alright

[@brajeshsingh2391]

@@Randomperson-zt3il the Tobey Maguire ones are better. Both Part 1 and Part 2 are good and Part 3 is not quite bad itself. If they had cut out the part of Peter Parking turning dark and his love hate relationship with MJ and concentrated on a more straight forward story with him trying to reconcile with his friends, it would have done better. Still its good enough for a few thrills and emotions. And watchable. These AG ones are pretty ordinary. I do not think either them or MCU have really come up with a story telling approach which is better or different from Sam Raimi's one. What they essentially do is change the characters and change the villains' but they are not able to refresh the narrative. What is pretty bad is they killed off Emma Stone in this one. C'mon you just cannot kill the girlfriend of a superhero in the movie. This is not Van Helsing, this is friendly neighborhood Spider Man. In the end he has to make everybody happy. As far as MCU is concerned there is again a lot of inconsistency. And though they are better structured than the AG ones they are never quite thrilling or unique. His girlfriend of the first movie just vanished and in the second one he has new girlfriend. In this case, the MCU one Spider Man is really struggling to be fitted into the MCU. The new Spider Man has a double challenge. He has to incognito, he has to be Spider Man and he has to fit into MCU. That is an enormous task for any screenwriter especially given the plethora of Super Hero movies we have seen.

[@pickyphysicsstudent201]

A general rule for writing is that the "Ignition" for the plot can be something randomly just falling into line but you should only have it be one thing. It can be the planets aligning allowing for a cult ritual. It can be some Mcguffin falling from the sky, it can be some nameless war or conflict which took place long ago off screen and the outcome left our characters in a certain state. Its when you combine multiple of these things are where problems start to form. You want a story to be based on as much cause & effect writing as possible. Having something just random happen can only really work if it is the "theory of large numbers" kind of inevitable random. The Ratchet & Clank games are a perfect example. Clank is the one anomaly robot made from the villain's production line, who choose to escape. In said escape, he crash lands near Ratchet, a mechanic Anthropomorphic Racoon-guy, who noticed said robot and thought to pick him up. This kick starts the plot. In the later games, they retcon stuff to make Ratchet the last of his super alien race kind, while Clank becomes the keeper of the time robots. That is much less believable, than the no name protag finding the one anomaly from the villain's enterprise.

It is also completely believable if the villain has the other McGuffin, because someone had to find that too. But if the villain who found the evil McGuffin is also the long lost twin brother of the hero who found the good McGuffin, that is bullshit.

[@callmev3531]

3:09, Filmspeak had an interesting take on Max’s character. His main aspect is that he wants attention, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he wants friendship (as he doesn’t know what friendship really looks like). Him acting like he has friends and is important when he talks with Gwen is due to this exact thing. He wants to be seen as important and his obsession with Spider-Man is due to him giving even the tiniest crumb of attention with encouragement Peter dishes out without really thinking about it due to his cluttered mind with all that is going in his life. The moment he gets powers and gains the attention he so craves only to be attacked (and booed at) and witnessing the public focus on Spider-Man instead of him is what leads to his hatred of Spider-Man. Filmspeak’s overall take was Peter being focused on so many different things in the film, from Gwen to Harry, to his parents, to his career, to Spider-Man was supposed to be a lesson about how hectic and messy life can be, even for a superhero, but it goes on and so must everyone in it. Wether or not the execution of the message works to justify the film being hectic and messy isn’t something I’d be able to say for certain. All I know is that this film series had potential, but lost it.

What it's so amazing about "Into the Spider-verse" is the fact that they technically used the same complicated stuff: Introducing Miles Morales, a ton of villains, heroes, the concept of a multiverse, etc... But the BIGGEST difference between that movie and this one, is that they knew from the start that this was the movie about Miles, all this other stuff comes naturally because they're consequences of stuff that happens around him and life, it doesn't just comes out of nowhere.

[@Chadius]

And anything that does come out of nowhere is either not important or a joke. I mean, Scorpion just appears because they needed a villain. But who cares? He's here for the fight!

[@Axterix13]

And the biggest weakness with that movie (besides using the crappy Ultimate versions of the villains) is that there are too many villains and heroes. Half of them could have been cut and the time invested in the ones that actually matter. But thankfully, it didn't hurt that movie as much as it did movies like Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.Probably because all those movies have a myriad of other flaws to compound the issue.

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

@@Axterix13 i mean the too many heroes and villians isn't a "weakness" as it MADE that movie because all those villains/heroes all made a lasting impression on the movie and I didn't hurt it at all as Filmento covered why already. Half of them SHOULDN"T have been cut because then that would have taken away from the multiverse insanity of the situation. And I'm not seeing how the ultimate versions are "crappy" at all since they all did well in of itself in the film.

same, i didn't know he liked spiderman before that (other than being flabbergasted at meeting a superhero which everyone would be)

[@littleredruri]

@@moxiemaxie3543 Because they happen one after another? And the reason he became a villain was that everyone around him always ignores him and treats him like shit, he clearly has a mental illness as well, so when the screens all changed to show him he felt like people finally noticed him. Then when they all changed to Spider-Man he thought he was being set up, and lashed out in anger. Still not a whole ass villain yet btw. That happens when he's being experimented on in Ravencroft. He makes the decision then and there that when he gets out he's gonna take revenge on everyone who ever fucked with him.

[@darkmyro]

honestly, I really feel like Gwen's death is a terrible part of the movie. Peter basically tells harry no, which sets off the events that cause him to become the green goblin, but the goblin doesn't really show up till the movie practically ends with the electro fight. So it feels stitched on. I feel like the movie would actually be better if we didn't have the harry plotline at all. That all this movie would do is set up their relationship at most for a later plotline where you could kill off Gwen. So, like the green goblin shows up, realizes spiderman is peter parker instantly cause ya know spiderman cant just happen to run into Gwen on a project she worked on, he grabs Gwen takes her to a clock tower, and then throws her in because he felt peter lied to him( which he kinda did). fight fight fight and then the goblin knocks himself out( cause peter cant have someone bothering him when he's trying to save Gwen) and Gwen falls to her death. All this is on top of another fight scene where peter kinda has to do the same exact thing. Then you have a third payoff with the kid in the spiderman costume after that with the rhino. I mean the kid subplot didn't need any emotional weight and I feel you could have dropped the ending of that. The whole green goblin plotline is just the setup and the payoff, there's no building to it so it feels kinda empty cause you dont have that build-up of tension in the middle. Like the whole harry plotline could have been its own movie and they could have built the sinister 6 into that movie, but they tried to do it all in one and the movie really suffers for it because it feels like this Frankensteins mess of two or three movies stiched together.

[@Himark89]

@@darkmyro 100% Agree, Gwen's Death was off-putting and doesn't suit the overall theme of the movie. I think when you have a character as great and you end them like that, you can't really hope for a sequel. Which how it actually ended up to be. If the theme would overall be darker then perhaps Gwen's death would be great, but it is just too sudden and random as nothing was building up to it. Like perhaps mention her fear of heights or something related to falling to bring more meaning to her end. Terrible movie, a shame had such an impact on actors careers

[@darkmyro]

@@Himark89 I didn't really like her and peters' relationship. I didn't even like peter in the amazing spider-man movies. Like 1st of all the fact that peter just said "screw the dead guy I'm gonna date his daughter after he specifically told me not to," was super bad. It feels like it spits in the whole "with great power..." thing that is a corner stone to the whole spidey identity. Secondly, they did this whisper flirting thing the whole time and I just didn't feel chemistry at all. Third, The whole relationship feels hollow to me, like all it is is infatuation and not love. They like and flirt with each other, but they dont have any compatibility. like you have two movies of these people being together, but besides science what do they have in common? So it makes what should be a powerful scene less powerful because instead of " omg peter just lost the love of his life," it becomes "Omg, peter failed to save his maybe girlfriend" its a small thing, but it deflates some tension in the scene, same thing with the goblin stuff. I know this seems nitpicky, but it's one of those "death from a thousand cuts" situations. One or two problems wouldn't have hurt it, but you throw in a bunch and it ruins the movie.

[@ASpooneyBard]

How about this for a revision of the Electro story: He's a loner nobody before he accidentally falls into the vat of eels (yes it's still dumb, but whatever), then suddenly he has super powers. Now he wants to help fight crime with Spiderman because "with great power comes great responsibility." His powers are too strong though, and he can't control them that well, and besides, Peter is too busy with his own problems to help him. He gets more frustrated until he turns on Spiderman, then Peter realizes that he created a villain... and Gwen dies. He considers hanging up the costume but understands that no one else can fix his own mistakes but him. Now there's more drama that personally relates to him. It's a little cliched, but it's something.

[@zad_rasera]

Was it cuz he was scared he’d find out his identity, but if they’re friends couldn’t he like have him promise not to tell anyone.

Add the conflict of Venom wanting to kill Harry, leading to Peter separating from the sybiote, it finding Brock and them becoming Venom. At this point GG should be defeated and out of the picture, leaving Venom to be the big threat, since he can evade the Spidey Sense, it makes him a much more dangerous threat to Peter.

you don't need to necesarely prepare a shared universe or have a big scheme plan for a trilogy, the only thing that goes over the 3 Raimi film is that Peter likes MJ, and that Harry gets bitter over Norman's death, and in the third one it proved to be stupid, not only the way they resolve (the butler finally spills out) but Harry realices Norman was bad, something Peter could have tell him, or literally anything "i found him dead on a street", you need to make a coherent movie, then another coherent movie... sure it's nice to set something up, but you don't need to spend too much time on that kind of stuff, for example as mentioned here, harry shows up from nowhere, they could have set him up on the first one, mention he's on a trip or whatever, or as also said here, have the childhood flashback, you don't need (ironically) the crazy theorist map with red lines all over it.

(inevitably, the film it's dependent on that hasn't been made yet, gets cancelled because the first movie did poorly)

It abandoned them to make a juicy trailer that got people into the theatre.

Before I watch the video, i was thinking about this the other day actually, and I concluded that Harry Osborne was completely pointless and unneeded

Damnit I spent so much time googling, I didn't know how it was spelled. I thought I miss heard Krakovian as in Krakow Poland. I was like "hmm I didn't expect that..."

I always assumed a lot of the lack of resolution would have been planned into and resolved in a third film to make the pay off huge and that's where we really get to see Peter/Spiderman grow. But then it went and got cancelled.

The worse thing you could ever do is Make a movie who's sole purpose is to advertise or bait you to watching the incoming sequel after it without the current movie offering you enough satisfaction

Every single thing about this movie and plot looks absolutely stupid.

[@leoneproductions5074]

Not really because that depends a lot on the person but objectively this movie has the best visual effects and so far no one has overcome them, this also applies to the soundtrack because is the best imo and it has many things that are wonderful and I admit that it does have things stupid but this is far from being the disaster that you suggest, but we must not forget that it is something subjective.

[@AccessBypass]

@@leoneproductions5074 I agree with much of that. The VFX artists and everyone who worked on the film did incredible technical work. It just comes off as a CGI heavy, summer blockbuster that lacks any real soul.

[@michaelstrong5383]

The only two things I legitimately liked about this movie was the costume (WAY better than the one he wore in the previous film in my opinion) and Gwen Stacy's death scene. Other than that, the rest of the film is hot garbage.

[@HerrDeutschBlood]

The problem I had with this movie was that it was obvious that the studio wanted so badly to build a franchise from this movie that they sort of forgot to tell a coherent story. Same could be said about the The Mummy from the short lived Dark Universe films. That plane crashed before it had a chance to take off.

[@mikatu]

What I know is that everytime they start a new series of Spider-Man movies they kill what we know about Spider-Man a little bit. The best one was with Tobey. That was quite faithful to the comics. Then we had this spider-man which was quite bad. The whole plot was outside the canon. And finally we have a new spider-man that is more Iron Man than Spider-Man. In fact, I watched the last two movies considering I was looking at a new hero, and now Spidey. A teenager, traveling outside NY, with suit that are more and more technological..... I mean, that is completely outside what Spider-Man is.
