Amazing Spider-Man II - Time For A Discussion
This follow up to the Spider-Man reboot has action, suspense, ties to the original story line, Emma Stone(yeah!) and everything you want in a Super Hero movie. It has only one problem - Andrew Garfield. He is a very effective & entertaining Spider-Man, although he's a bit too skinny. The problem is his Peter Parker. He's too current. We want Peter Parker; the way the comics wrote him; the way the cartoon featured him; the way TOBY played him. Peter never would have said : "How Dare you!..." to uncle Ben. Sorry, no way, never would've happened. He also would not have stood up to Flash in school the way he did before the spider bit him. Now I know these are scenes from the first installment. The problem is...you can't forget them and when he plays off of Emma Stone (yeah!), he's just not Peter Parker. this reminds us about the reason we had a problem with the reboot to begin with. So, IF Mr. Garfield tones down his "I a Millennium kid and that's how I roll" portrayal of Peter Parker for Spider-Man III, he may just capture the audience the way Toby did.
The movie is awesome, of course. I decided to go with this version because I thought my son would enjoy the little comic book that came with it. The comic book is obviously smaller in size, since it comes inside the movie's case, and this is a standard blu-ray-sized case. The comic covers Max's story and stops when Spidey first defeats him with the fire hose. The artwork is nice, and my four-year-old son enjoys it.
I'm really happy I bought this version, because the case is just really cool looking. It's very shiny. It folds up, but unlike other cases I've had that fold and then have a cover over them, this one uses magnets to keep it closed and therefore doesn't need a slipcover.
This has a fair storyline, with SUPERB 3D. The acting is a bit sub par compared to some other Marvel films (XMEN, Wolverine, Avengers, etc.) but still holds it's own. This is a must have if you enjoy 3D movies but not the same level of excitement in 2D. As for my other purchase FF6, this is yet another great film in the Fast & Furious series and has some extreme stunts. It is also noted that you should watch the behind the scene's extras AFTER you watch the film. SPOILER ALERT: It is incredible at how many of the actors did their own stunts for most of the film, and how many cars had to be sacrificed to make the movie, definitely worth the time to see the extras and it was nice to have the crew back. Both very good films, to bad the F&F series aren't in 3D =/
