 Hey, what's going on everyone is be Avery with just my opinion And I'm coming here with you tonight for my spoiler field review slash opinion on The amazing spider-man 2 and yes, I'm alone right now You've probably used to me seeing my good old buddy friend of film Malcolm to sign But he wasn't able to make it so I'm gonna do this by myself And yes, if you did hear me say spoilers because I did say spoilers because I'm gonna talk spoilers I'm gonna talk spoilers as if you've already seen the film I'm gonna talk spoilers up down left right in and out is if you've already seen the amazing spider-man 2 so If you haven't seen the amazing spider-man 2 and you don't want to be spoiled I strongly suggest you turn the video off now You can put it in that watch later list come back later because I don't want to spoil it for you And with that being said you have been the warned Alright, so how I usually do things is with my videos I like to give my in general impressions of the film. I Wondering if you guys think that it was good or bad I thought it was a little more in the middle Leaning on more on the positive side and so I'll just go ahead and say that I Enjoyed the film for the most part It was not perfect there were rooms for improvement There were a lot of elements of the film that I thought the team Directed by Mark Webb and company thought they did a great job with a few things And I you know just think they could have done a lot of other things a lot better My main complaint would be I thought the plot was too heavy Now before I give a go into any further details with that I just want to give my expectations and My expectations were I don't want to say low, but they were just kind of average I mean I wanted that the movie to be good. I just really wasn't that invested into it All the trailers look great and to be honest I'm still kind of bitter with Sony for rebooting the franchise because I was really liking what Sam Raimi did with the first three Spider-Man with Tobu Maguire And then the amazing Spider-Man came out and I thought it was okay And a lot of people were saying that okay the amazing Spider-Man 2 is gonna be better than Spider-Man 2 Which Raimi didn't I don't I don't think it holds a candle to that the Spider-Man 2 done by Raimi is in my top 10 favorite superhero movies of all time Possibly the top seven or eight, but we can talk about that in another video So going into this my expectations were fair But you know not too high so I wasn't disappointed I basically got what I expected Something that I enjoyed overall Besides the acting the action the effects what surprised me the most were the character moments especially between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy their fictitious names in the film I mean their love story picked up right where it left off in the first film the amazing Spider-Man and It wasn't corny It wasn't cliche. I mean I really felt they had a genuine caring love for each other I mean this was no even though they were you know This has paul is graduating high school at the beginning of the film You know it just didn't really seem like any you know high school puppy love, you know just hallway crush I mean they really felt I really felt that they loved each other a lot Their character moments are great. I mean I could relate to it all there were little beats here and there Of when they we know just walking here and holding hands and a kiss here and just their chemistry I bought it that to me was the best part in the whole film I know it's kind of crazy right a superhero comic book film and the best part of the character moments or love story I mean they really did a good job there throughout another character moment of mine That was my one of my favorites was Peter Parker's relationship with his aunt Aunt May Played by Sally feels she wasn't in the film too much, which is no complaint I don't go to a spider-man movie wanting to see on May But she was in it enough and she you know did a great job Sally feel is a great actress I remember she was on my radar 20 years ago with Mrs. Dot fire, which they are coming out with a part, too I wonder if she's gonna have a significant role in that or not But there was one particular scene Sort of in the middle in the second act where and you see this in the trailers Peter Parker or I'm gonna say Tobin McGuire. I forgot the guys Andrew Garfield my goodness Andrew Garfield's character You know he's wanting to inquire and know about what happened with his parents and she broke down emotionally and was crying and you know Hey, you know we I want to tell you the truth But I only know this much and you know you have to be careful Peter because the truth can hurt you We're just trying to protect you and you know it was just a great moment So those two moments were between Peter Parker and his aunt and Peter Parker between Gwen Stacy I felt that was terrific Now that was a like let's just jump to a dislike that I have now I'm sure if you every most of everyone seeing spider-man 3 done by Sam Raimi and I think the one of the larger complaints with that film is it were too many villains in the film It took away from the story and everything else That wasn't the case here, you know, we have Rhino which is one Electro played by Jamie Foxx Rhino was played by Paul G Imani and Dane Dahon played the I don't know if it's the green goblin the hobgoblin that really wasn't too clear in this film So I may want to you know Take a notch off of that But Rhino was in the film for maybe three and a half four minutes No complaint there. The main villain is Electro played by Jamie Foxx World-class actor. He's fantastic I remember back in 2004 when he was doing collateral that team up with Tom Cruise I was like, man, you know, I used to watch the Jamie Foxx show, but you know, Jamie Foxx is now doing stuff with Tom Cruise He's really moving up the ladder in Hollywood, you know, and then I think the next year He did Ray and he won an Academy Award for that and everybody knew he can act World-class actor, but that acting chops did not transition over into the amazing Spider-Man 2 Unfortunately now, I'm not saying that his performance was bad. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't you know, anybody could have played this role Anybody there was nothing that Jamie Foxx brought to the road and made it stand out more than what it should have Anybody could have played this white character black character Hispanic character Latino Asian, whatever Anybody could have played this character You know, he like I said, he didn't do a bad job. He just didn't you know, you he's a world-class actor Oscar not nominated. He won, you know for Ray and You know, I just expected a little bit more I mean, you know when this when part two was being announced and I heard Jamie Foxx was attached He was really the only reason why I was interested in the film because like I said, I was still bitter but that's my own fault from them rebooting the franchise and You know, his his performance is okay. I was more I was more into What the film did with Electro's presence and the effects behind his character than the actual performance There was no depth to his character at all He was he was obsessed with Spider-Man Just for no reason other than Spider-Man saving him one time doing a heist of some Oscorp plutonium you and you see that in the trailers, you know, and he becomes obsessed with them after that and He's envious of them But you know envy turns a jealousy and they did a good job there, but my complaint is is that Electro's or Jamie Foxx's motivation to wreak havoc On Times Square as you see in the trailers it wasn't even you know He didn't think of that of himself someone else had to give them the idea and plant the the scene in his brain Like hey, you know, you've been mistreated. You know, you're angry. Why don't you do something about it? You know, you're right. I am angry. I will do something about it I mean, I just didn't really care that it didn't make much sense to me and As far as we meet the character, he's just walking down the street with a bunch of blueprints and you know Looks like a nerdy guy. He doesn't act like a nerdy guy. He doesn't really have that really nerdy voice or geeky voice to me You know with the the pocket protectors and just basically a grown a grown man Steve Urkel You know that that's all we got. I mean we don't we don't know about him You know being bullied from childhoods or adulthood and he just got tired of you know being taken advantage of They didn't give us any of that They just said that hey, you know he designed his power grid and gave the Oscar up the specs for it and You know, he didn't get created for his work And it really didn't piss him off until someone else had to remind him of that and you know It just became a you know a kind of a forgettable villain to me Like his effects were bad ass You know, I don't I don't know the type of music that was used and I probably should have looked it up To do this video. I think it was Daft Punk or whatever had a lot of base to it And I loved it, you know when he when he got when he was powering up He would teleport and play with his electricity shooting this and you know moving this around and doing that I mean it was very exciting to look at. I mean they did a very great job there Electro looked great, but you know just unfortunately. Jamie Foxx performance didn't do you know much for me after that Of course, the other villain is the goblin the green goblin the hobgoblin, you know, I don't know I don't even know why there was a goblin to you know, really We find out that Chris Cooper That's playing the not Harry Osborn. I forgot. Oh man. I'm I love coming books. I can't even not Harry He's the son Norman Norman Osborn. We find out that he has some type of sickness. I don't know what it is He's pale his skin is pilling, you know, I don't know what is his sickness is They they said some scientific name that I probably shouldn't memorize But that just wasn't too clear for me in the beginning of the film We see that you know, he's transforming into something that we've never seen before his his fingers and in phalanges or It's just weird. They're extending. He has claws for his hands, you know, how did this happen to you? Were you experimenting on yourself? You know, does something go wrong in a lab? That there wasn't real clear cut and dry and they could have it, you know They could have explained that and went into more detail with that And so we have his son Which is you know Another gripe about this film is the pacing and the way they just jump across time, you know, Harry Me so with his husband his father Norman and we find you know through their dialogue. We found out that Norman Send Harry off to boarding school to 11 years old Send him about us got to 16 probably possibly not the the best Christmas not Christmas gift, but birthday gift and Harry is you know, Norman I'm sorry Norman says to Harry that hey, you know, you have the same disease that I do It's genetic. Have you start noticing your hand tripling because it started with me at that age So the film goes on and you know, Harry's life is just being pulled from him I mean, it feels like his soul is being just taken from his physical body And I don't understand why excuse me. I'm sorry Talking right here. Let me take a sip of this water here. This is casual Sorry, my throat was getting dry But what I was saying is as far as the illness that Harry and Norman Osborne have which is not clear to me Or maybe I missed something. It seems like when it's taking effect with Harry the son that it said a Much faster rate, you know, it's expedited and I don't understand that And we'll get to his motivation later and I said right now played by Paul Gemini, which is a fantastic actor I love him as well. He's pretty much fantastic in everything that he does. He's playing the Russian boss of Rhino Rhino was not a really favorite character of mine watching the 90s Spider-Man cartoon That's where I learned Spider-Man from He was kind of annoying Even only though he was in the film for two and a three and a half four minutes. It is his accent was annoying If there was no death to him either the only character villain that there was death to was Harry Osborne And which was mediocre and he wasn't even the main villain. It was from Electro So those are the villains. It's not really crowded. I don't want to call Rhino a villain. I mean he was a villain He was doing things that he can't do that he can't do and get away with he must be stopped But you know, he was more of a pine on a giant chessboard You know waiting to be moved from a bigger player, which you'll find out So we really only have one villain or more one and a half and the main one being Electro Like so the story It picked up where the first one left off, you know He left us with some cliffhangers wanting to know what is the whole secret behind the story of Peter Parker's parents You know, I didn't know that going into the amazing spider-man the first one and they brought that to our attention I've never heard of this before. I've always known Peter Parker to be raised with with Ben and Aunt May and I don't know anything about his parents And so we finally find out about his parents and it was basically common sense I mean, it's just that you know Peter Parker's father was a genius and Someone wanted to exploit his inventions and his research to do bad things possibly world domination And he wanted to put a stop to it and I scrub killed them for it and try to cover it up It really wasn't a big secret. I mean, you know, you kind of knew that ending the first film It where there was no big reveal in the second one I mean it was closure for Peter Parker's character and when he was looking at the computer screen of his video his dad Video recording himself, you know, that was a great character moment from you know, Peter Parker Andrew Garfield great acting but I was a bit led down with the big secrets, you know, of what happened to his parents I mean they died trying to escape and you know covering up some secrets Now let's jump back to the likes Like I said the effects were Fantastic, especially with electro, you know when when he was teleporting, you know, he it was slow most some time He took his time sometimes it was lightning fast. I mean that was incredible seeing spider-man fly through the air You know, it was he's like he's flying. He's grown so much from the first film. He's embraced who he is You know, he knows his abilities in and out and it shows on the screen. I mean, it's just so exciting I wouldn't even mind if it was one 30 minute, you know scene of him just flying around New York web Slinging everywhere. I wouldn't have got bored with that. You know, I would have had a lot of fun with that So I mean they even the director mark web even gave us, you know A few POV shots point of view to see exactly how it is, you know If we got those shots too long, it you know, you probably get dizzy and want to lean over and throw up But you know, he did a great job there Going back to some dislikes was the plot. It was just too potty Spider-man 3 was saying Rami had too many villains This had too many plots to the point to where when I was invested in one plot They would try to jump back, you know, four or five plot plots before I forgot that was even in the movie I'm like, oh, yeah, I forgot we have to address this. So let's go back here And it got annoying because as it was going on when a new plot will come try to circle back around I forgot where it let off from the last point and I had to think about it like oh, yeah Electro did get watered holes down by spider-man. Now. That's why he's ended up in this lab You know, I shouldn't forget about something like that, especially with him being the main villain You know, I mean we have Peter Parker trying to figure out what happened with his parents Peter Parker trying to figure out, you know balance his relationship with Gwen Stacy We have Oscar wanted to you know, go through world domination We have Electro getting upset because for no reason that's really explained other than people don't notice him Harry Osborn He's dealing with his father and dying and he's trying to find a spider-man and there's like two or three others It's just it just be seemed like it was just too much for me I don't know why and the thing about it what scares me is they're even gonna add more characters in the film like Mary Jane But they you know just felt that they should leave her out, you know for the next film Which I thought was a good job just one moment But it was just too plotty. I mean there was just too much going on You didn't ruin the film Thing it just didn't flow naturally, you know, it's instead of the story in the plot flowing naturally It seemed like a checklist that they had to just shove in okay with amazing spider-man 2 we want to have this this this and this It just didn't flow it was just you know, you go from over here and then you just jump over here cold It was no warm transition. It was just you know too much and I really didn't I really didn't care for that now something else that bugged me was the The notting the creators of the film not acknowledging things that happened that would happen in the real world starting out in the film Rhino the character rhino hijacked an ice-corp armored truck That has plutonium in it now What I don't understand which makes zero sense to me first of all, this is a armored truck Okay, how the hell did you open? How did your two henchmen in the back get the armored truck open? They didn't explain that now it could have been that the armored truck was pulled up at this station and They were unloading the products and that's when they robbed the truck You know, that's when they did everything But the truck is being is is being towed by a larger truck. So that doesn't make sense either. I mean you're not going to Did you really have enough time to knock out all the guards? Back in a tow truck Hike it up the hike the armored truck on that and then drive away with the back being open It doesn't make any that doesn't make any sense And then it's on news. Hey an ice-corp truck Containing plutonium has been hijacked. How does the news reporters know what is containing? It doesn't make any sense to me as well Another thing is is that the two henchmen in the back of the truck are trying to handle the Plutonium delicately and plutonium dangerous element I'm assuming and they're trying to be careful and you know take it out of this canister and put it in this canister And you have to be very careful, but their leader that's working with them the rhino that's driving a tow truck He doesn't care about this at all He's running over cars and trucks everywhere breaking turning fast and the plutonium goes everywhere So it's like dude that doesn't make any sense. I mean, sorry about that technical difficulties So that was saying I mean that just didn't make it make much sense to me Why are not working together? I mean what the two henchmen in the back of the truck are trying to handle things delicately and not spill the Plutonium everywhere, but yet you I'm I don't know that just what it was you want to go one around everywhere So they can bust plutonium and ruin your plan. I mean, why why are you doing? I mean why can't y'all just I don't know it just really didn't make sense to me Another thing is when Electro was becoming Electro In time in the middle of Times Square at night time I feel that Peter Parker spider sense wasn't used correctly He is supposed to have that spider sense, you know kind of like a devil or angel on his shoulder I mean when he is in mortal danger when something is about to hit him Not so where he can you know since something happened in 500 or 100 yards away, you know over here I mean they kept doing I'm like that's not the spider senses It's it's supposed to be a last-minute warning when he is in danger You know not for him to have supersonic hearing or whatever. I didn't I didn't really care for that So then when Electro is being Electro one cop asked for backup like three seconds later like Seven or six or seven cop cars come you got your SWAT teams over here. I'm like that Really, I mean how do they get there so fast? I mean they didn't make sense either Just things that don't make sense in the real world on me Another thing is at one point spider-man at towards the beginning of the film When the henchmen are even the rhino is still in the truck the armored truck of plutonium plutonium a cop car Runs right over spider-man. No that will not kill spider-man But the police officer doesn't know that or whoever's driving the van or the ambulance So you hit spider-man or any other human being you don't want to stop the car You just want to continue to drive this doesn't make sense. I mean wouldn't you just stop? Oh, I just hit spider-man But let me just keep on driving doesn't make sense to me Especially if you're if you're a paramedic Because you care you heal people you don't want to hurt them, you know, but spider-man is on the front of the car You know just talking like hey, you know, I'm late to graduation. I'll be there in a minute Now these are little nitpicks, but it's just something that I noticed that really they really took me out of it I mean even towards the end of the film where we see rhino facing off against spider-man I mean this is a person that is in a giant mechanical suit That's basically a rhino. I mean that makes sense to us, but it shouldn't make sense to people in the movie He's shooting missiles and automatic machine guns and There's so many people around watching him do this. Why are you not running the other way? Why is there a barricade there with with children able to crawl under it? Why is there a barricade in there in the first place? Who has time to set up a barricade? To keep people back when there is a terrorist in a mechanical suit blowing up shit everywhere. Okay, let's put a Doesn't make any sense at all to me, you know, but hey, it's just a nitpick now I know it seems like I'm bitching. I really did enjoy this film I mean the choreography of between, you know, spider-man, you know flying not flying but web sling around That was fantastic his battle with the goblin at the end. That was great, too I like that they limited him a little bit spider, you know the goblin isn't a glider He can fly but spider-man can only swing off stuff and he was at the top of this clock tower He couldn't go anywhere. He was like, please come back down here and he was shooting his web up, you know I really liked that that you know, they really just gave spider-man limits I Also love the fight between electro and spider-man even though Spider-man was getting a shit electrocuted out of him yet. It didn't seem to face him at all I mean, I know it was one scene where he shot the electricity boats at spider-man He flew back and hit the car, but then there's other scenes where they're this close He's like screaming electricity at him, you know shooting the shit out of him and he's still alive I know spider-man is super strong and you know all of that and yes at times he did seem like he was hurt He was all that's just my skin my bones and my organs Yeah, I get all that but at other times it seemed like it didn't phase them at all Like he was getting electrocuted and he just like, you know, uh, so I mean they hit the nail Perfect on the head with some of the points with you know with others They did not the way that a lecture died. I guess he just blew up, you know overcharges himself But at the same time, you know, he still could be alive out there, you know, we don't know And That's really much it. I want to talk about I don't want this video to go on forever I mean there were some great moments, but you know, there was some moments to bug me and You know, I liked it overall I mean Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy's relationship was flawless I loved all the flashbacks that Peter Parker was getting from her dad of the how you don't need to be dead in my daughter you made this promise to me and You know, it really ties the both of the films together I really do like the monologuing that Gwen Stacy's speech was giving at the end about being who you really are and embracing that Spider-Man was gone for five months. He sees his suit goes and saves the day I mean, you know, that was great There was a, you know, it left a lot of open to set up for the sinister six and the Venom movie and Spider-Man 3 and 4 Man, you know, that's fine tease us But you know, I want you to close the story out There was a shadow we figured that was at the end of the first Spider-Man we see him again I still don't know who he is. I'm intrigued to find out. There was also a mention of Felicia Felicity, I know it was black cat was in the film. You know, I like that presence, but You know, there's still, you know, some nitpicks here and there but overall I really enjoyed the film and If I had to give it a rating out of 1 out of a 10, I would give it a 7 out of a 10 But guys, that's just my opinion and I would love to hear yours as well So comment in that comment section below.
