Almost as silly as caring what a stranger does with his dvd collection.

why do you hate the second one? it is regarded as the best super hero movie by some people
I have to admit when I first saw it I thought it was good but nothing special, I didn't even think it was that great or anything,
but then everyone around was starting to say how completely amazing it was, so it is interesting to see that you hated it

I haven't seen this yet, but I liked the other movies, #3 the least, but it didn't bother me Peter Parker crying at all. He's young, he was losing his girl that he wanted to marry. It hurt him. I know some of you have never cried about anything, but just because others do, doesn't make it a bad thing.
Why all the hate for the older movies because this one came out?
Spoiler:So who was the mysterious man in the shadows talking to Dr. Connors in the jail cell supposed to be?
Speaking of Venom, I see the possibility of them Making Flash Thompson be Venom in the spinoff movie after ASM. So, a guy who goes from a bully to a leg-less war hero who needs the symbiote to walk, OR a guy who gets mad at Parker for losing his job and causing problems? I think Flashs' story works better, but others probably still want Brock because he was the original.

Spoiler:..from the thunder and lighting synchronized with his appearance and departure it could be Electro. Or if you ignore that it could be Norman Osborn aka Green Goblin.
It's also the hip thing to praise the older trilogy and not give the new one a chance.
To give a bit of balance. I loved Spidey 1 & 2, and elements of 3. I would rate Spidey 2 in my top 3 comic book movies. Having said that I also loved ASM and would put it on a par with Spidey 2. There are elements from both movies I like better. Ultimately however I prefer Andrew's portrayal of Peter Parker and Emma Stone is cast perfectly as Gwen Stacy. Something alas you cannot say about the casting of MJ. Hopefully in the second or third movie we get that resolved.
I don't understand the dishing of SM 1 & 2. I guess it's from the Venom generation. As a SM fan I also cannot understand the dishing of this movie and the constant re-posting of "unnecessary reboot". The reboot was necessary because Raimi failed to deal with the Gwen Stacy arc.
sadly, this thread illustrates the fact that we get the films that we deserve.
It's quite odd how drastically my opinion differs from the majority on Spiderman 2. I could never understand why it was regarded as a better film over the first. I wasn't sold on Molina though I do think his design was stronger than the green goblin. I have to say that ultimately the cheese just stole the thunder for me. The raindrops keep fallin on my head bit and the aunt may being flung off a roof as well as the nice people on the train who refused to reveal spidermans identity were just too over the top for me. Even though I think a spiderman flick should be a little cheeky. I think the amazing spiderman had the right amount and remained fun while not going slapstick.
Cheese aside I wasn't too crazy about the storyline either, it wasn't as focused as the first, there was a direct purpose to the origin storyline while in the second it just seemed like fabricating a personal struggle to get spiderman todo something (the losing of the powers bit).
like i said.
Just got back from The Amazing Spider-man. Other than over-doing Lizard's regeneration ability, I really liked it. Gwen and Peter are portrayed in a very endearing fashion. The costume looks fabulous on screen. I say that as someone who had a huge celebrity crush on Tobey Maguire for years, one that ended with the Spider-man 2.
Spider-man 2 is one of the most clichè-ridden films that I have seen, topped off with the nauseating runaway bride bit. The fact a great author, Michael Chabon, turned out such shlock made it even harder to accept.
Him losing his powers in particular makes no sense. None of us have our heart stop beating or forget how to walk because we are depressed or lonely. Peter's innate abilities should not function any differently.
And good lord the train scene is absurd and hands down the most overly sentimental scene in any superhero film. I cringe just thinking about it.
I never watched Spider-man 3, fool me once and all that.
Edit: I did like Molina as Doc Ock. I would totally get a figure of him.
