Thanks for watching the video! I hope it meant something to you!

Thank you so much for this you have opened my eyes and caused me to realize who I am and why I love this movie and how I now see myself in this adaptation of Peter Parker. Thank you may God grant you a special place in Heaven
If only Sony let Mark Webb do his thing, we could have gotten one of the best and most unique Spider-Man movies of all time. Why can't studios just trust the filmmakers they hire to do their job?
Because money $$$$
@@demon794 If they want to make money, they can still do that by trusting the filmmakers that they hire. They have to realize that they don't need to micromanage everything the filmmaker does.
@@demon794 When will they learn. Studios interference with filmmakers almost always fail.
Sony didn't want well-made movies at the end of the day, even though they may have thought they did. What they wanted was an MCU-esque franchise that would guarantee them almost a billion dollars every 1-2 years.
Tbf we see the successes of studio influences more often then we see the failures when studios don't step in
"We must be greater than what we suffer" feels like a Raimi line in all the best ways. I can't believe all those scenes got cut
To be fair, they did give that line to Gwen in the 2nd Movie. When you hear her speech at the end, she says that line.
@@GuyWithNoNickNameWould be more impactful if they said it in the first.
The Amazing Spider-man is a good film. It avoids most if not all clichés, it's fresh, it's interesting, it's got characters you love to see and actually feel for played by fantastic actors, it's a great Spider-man film and it's sad that a lot of fans seem to be hating it right now.
*cough* mostly half of a good film cause of Sony but yea.
I am going to have to disagree. I don’t remember once the movie avoiding many cliches. From what I saw, it had an abundance of cliches. From Uncle Ben’s death, to the villain’s crazy typical plan, to the high school environment.
@@captainmarvelwilson508 The high school environment feels more involved than then Spider man 2002 school was
I don't think its great but it doesn't deserve the hate it gets. It's just a very mixed bag. Some of the stuff in there is excellent though.
@@pickleodessey8452 doesn't mean it's good tho
I liked the tonal shift that this series had. Raimi's series felt like a classic Hollywood style take on Spider-Man, with huge action set pieces, fun characters, and a story that only every took itself seriously when it needed to. Webb's series had a more grounded feeling to it. When you break it down, it felt like an indie movie, with a super-hero movie budget. Webb said that he had an obligation to make his own version of the character, and the world that he existed in, and I think he did a superb job at that. The story felt personal, and the action was great, but never too insane. It was a Peter Parker story through and through.
This is probably the most accurate take, ontop of Sony being the plague of the sequel
Thankfully but tasm 3 was gonna be a shit show, resurrection of people etc
@@punkrocker4life9674 Sony just needs to stay in their corner and stop interfering with their movies. They need to trust that the filmmakers know what they’re doing. If Sony payed for the creation of the Mona Lisa, they’d probably step in from time to time and tell Da Vinci to put in ninjas or spaceships.
@@VideoGameAutopsy Yes! I've said this 1000 times: why hire a director to do a job if you don't trust them enough to do it?
He gave us an amazing version of Flash Thompson, who even had his own little redemption arc. I could totally see that guy joining the marines and then later becoming Agent Venom.
While he wasn't in the best Spidey-Films, Garfield will always be my favorite Spider-Man. He brings a level of realism and heart to it, that is just next level. And he continues to bring it in No Way Home... He had my eyes getting all kinds of juicy when he caught MJ.
Admittedly, these two films have a big villain problem. But when it comes to emotion, and character, nothing beats what Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield did in these for me.
I just need you to know how much I dislike the phrase "eyes getting all kinds of juicy"
@@thatonedudea Well, his eyes used to read "Word Up!" magazine. Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine.
This is *exactly* how I feel about the film.
I really really adore the character arc given to Peter in this film, but that arc is kinda complete by the halfway point. When Peter finally adopts the moniker of Spider-Man, and stares at that mask in his room, the film crests, and after that it’s all just dealing with the villain plot as a formality.
It’s astonishing how much they shafted Conners, Ifans, the whole movie. And for what?
I like Peter’s arc too. It’s just kinda a shame that it’s all the result of all that convoluted stuff with his dad. All Richard Parker needed to do without giving too much away is tell Ben and May I need to protect my research from falling into the wrong hands. Oscorp is gonna fabricate evidence against me. Make sure Peter knows this someday. That way Peter won’t feel as abandoned.
Yes!!!! Same here.
Also, regarding Dr. Conners (I just saw the movie for the first time last night!), I kept staring at him thinking he was the same guy that was Hugh Grant's roommate in the movie *Notting Hill.* Then when the credits rolled and I saw it WAS Rhys Ifans, I was Floored! He was really great!
Unpopular opinion: Amazing Spider-Man had my favorite suit and I didn't mind the yellow eyes
I like the suit from the amazing Spider-Man
me too
I liked it too
It’s my 2nd favorite spidey suit with my favorite being TASM 2 suit
I agree. If nothing else, it made this version visually distinct from the others.
That they went back to the usual suit in TASM 2 is a travesty.
Andrew Garfield was a GREAT Spider-Man he was just trapped in bad movies because of Sony pushing for more and more sequel baiting.
1st one was good, 2nd one had its moments (those moments being few and being carried by Andrew, emma and Sally field) but overall not good
The 1st movie wasn't bad though it was rushed because crucial scenes were removed but still good If anything a director's cut needs to be released
@@hoodiek6802 Yeah agreed. They cut out some of the most important moments but kept stupid sh** like webbing a man's crotch and being a total stalker to random people. The second film with the exception of Andrew and Emma having great chemistry together and the opening frames of him swinging (which is still the greatest out of any movie imo) that film was just a total dumpster fire. Oh look Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat! Does she do anything cool? Nope sequel bait. Oh look here's the Rhino does he do anything cool? He um.. shoots at some cops and um.. threatens to murder a um.. a child.. WTF? Oh look there's the green goblin there's no way they would mess th... WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE A TROLL DOLL THAT USED TO BE GREEN BUT GOT BLEACHED IN THE SUN!?!?
@@georgethomas4567 I think one of the things that really damages the second film is the mishandling of Peter and Harry’s relationship. Their conflict could have been a lot more tragic and compelling if they had spent most of the film working together trying to make a potential cure. But of course, Peter’s insistence on taking it slow after what happened with Lizard and needing to do Spider Man stuff causes Harry to go fuck it, I’ll do it myself. But no instead let’s just have Peter tell Harry he can’t have his blood, and decide to go to England with Gwen not long after that. That’s fine too.
@@solarking952 And making a giant wall of strings to the "For Youououo!!!" song because it's the 2010's!!!! God that scene was so stupid 🤣 What was the purpose?
I wish Webb was allowed to make a low stakes Lizard story like in Spectacular Spider-Man. Where Peter tries to catch Lizard before he hurts people and cure him before the secret gets out about what happened to him. Instead the studio wanted a highs stakes story which didn't help at all.
The studio really did the Amazing films dirty. The amount of stuff they removed especially for certain characters should’ve not happened. All those deleted scenes they removed that expanded on Dr. Connors really upsets me that they removed them. They should’ve been in the film, and they should’ve not been deleted scenes.
I'm so glad you brought up the deleted scenes. I remember watching them and going, "wow, this movie would be so much better if they'd left these in!" Something I haven't said about a movie since Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events (if you enjoy that movie at all, be sure to track down the DVD version of it with all the deleted and alternate scenes). The Amazing Spider-Man duology is super underrated, it had it's problems for sure but even with its glaring flaws, I enjoyed it more than the MCU iteration... except No Way Home, but to be fair, almost everything good about that movie was because of the pre-MCU movies.
honestly what were the producers thinking when cutting the scenes the would’ve made the movie greater smh
"How are we supposed to sell action figures of 'uplifting character growth' or 'philosophical struggle'? Just make the dinosaur man a bad guy and male sure the climax can be sold as a Lego set piece!"
-Avi Ar---some Sony exec, probably
"I was in middle school" Holy crap I'm old....
some guy on reddit made an extended cut and edited in the deleted scenes. It arguably made the movie ten times better. I honestly think the movie wouldve been looked back upon more fondly if all the deleted scenes had been kept in the movie
Another movie that is greatly improved by extra scenes is Batman Vs Superman: Ultimate Edition. In the theatrical cut, the plot was thin, the characters weren't fleshed out, and there was barely any motive for Batman and Superman to fight. When I first watched the theatrical cut, I was very disappointed and had lost all my faith in the story that they were trying to tell. However, upon watching the ultimate edition, my experience with the movie was much more positive. The extra 30 minutes were very crucial to the story and added a lot to the movie. While the theatrical cut was a 4/10, the ultimate edition was a solid 8/10. This just shows that studios have no idea about what needs to be added or cut from a movie to make it better. The simple solution would be to let the filmmakers decide what the final cut should look like.
#ReleaseTheWebbCut, the cut of TASM (movies) which shows a lot more with better scenes that make the movie much better, which NEEDS to be released.
It seriously needed the scene where Connors visits his son, he could literally be the reason why Connors would cling to his humanity.
I’m still way too nostalgic for this movie, it was the first time I saw Spider-Man on the big screen and I still adore the direction and ideas! Even if it isn’t quite as amazing as I once thought it was!
Andrew Garfield has ALWAYS been my favorite spiderman and franchise or the spidermen. It hit me at the time I needed it. I needed a hero who was an outcast. It's relatable. The Amazing Spiderman in my opinion is the best of all of them cuz it's romantic, dramatic and it's still spiderman. It's not just about spiderman. It's also about Peter dealing with his issues. All the other films don't touch on his own issues.
I agree, i know the movie isnt perfect, and when i first watched it i hated it and i watch it now and it is my favourite marvel movie with spiderman 2. Even when i read the first ultimate spiderman comic i liked it even more. It is basically amazing. They are the same Peter Parker. And not only this movie understood the issues Peter faces, but spectacular and spiderman ps4 too. That makes spiderman more loveable. And tobey is excellent but he was serious.
@@oscarcraig2551 agreed. Ps4 spiderman made me tear up. Also the white blue and red suit is SOOO SEXY!!!
As a person whose favorite Spiderman movie is Spiderman 3, know that it is about what you value and take away from a film, not what the masses say. You showed me this film has a lot more to it than I initially anticipated and honestly I thank you for that.
I genuinely still love both the amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 both films a very underrated Spider-Man movies in my opinion but I do understand all your points their very valid man
I've always found it funny that Sony deleted important lizard, electro and harry scenes in both films
And they still wanted to make a movie about the sinister six
Dude, you should watch the original pre-vis for the final battle. It completely explains why connors saves peter and is mostly a dialogue scene rather than a fight scene. It would have been a perfect resolution to the story and ties into the main message very well.
Without the deleted scenes you are get the connection of Peter and Conners. You just need to have emotional security to understand and able to make the connection. Conners loss of life and limb left him with nothing, but his work. That he cannot complete. He is finally able to regain that part that he lost, but suffers the mutation. Leading him to break. I have paid mine and this is what I was rewarded everyone should be allowed to join me in these break thoughs. As a scientist it is his duty.
Right off the bat interested to see more but definitely up your volume, tough to hear ya
I agree with all your points but I still can’t help but love these two movies. I recently rewatched TASM 1 and 2 and I tried to look for the faults I knew were there, I tried to criticize the messy plots and sequel baiting, but I couldn’t help but have a huge smile across my face the entire time I was watching. The movies are so fun and the characters are so great, and Andrew was born to be Spider-Man. I have the nostalgia for the Sam Raimi trilogy, and I have moments that I enjoy from the Home trilogy, but The Amazing Spider-Man duology is in my mind the perfect Spider-Man story put to the screen currently. The only thing I would put above it is Spider-Man PS4, that story was so engaging.
I’m convinced the spider-man ps4 game is the reimagined TASM series. There are plot lines directly from the TASM movies in the game.
@@mj6400YES JESUS CHRIST IM GLAD I AINT THE ONLY ONE THAT THOUGHT THAT SPIDERMAN PS4 WAS AN ESPIRITUAL SEQUEL TO THE MOVIES
I liked the Amazing Spider-Man 1 but not the Amazing Spider-Man 2. I prefer the darker tone of the 1st one which felt like the Ultimate comics, which is absent from the 2nd one
People complain about the first one being too dark... cuz they only know spider as the guy that always makes "Jokes"
It’s a beautiful film. The deeper parts get to me every time in a way no other spider man ever did. Flaws and all Andrew was always my Spider-Man
Art is the artist trying to make the art that they want, but big corpo breathing down their neck with fifty thousand alterations.
I love this film so much it's a massive comfort film for me I don't know why but I also don't know if I want a reason I'm happy to accept something makes me happy and brings me comfort and maybe doesn't have logic or reasoning idk
I think this video just reminded me and reinforced why I love the ASM duology and why I always will. It was something I needed when I was growing up, I was the kid that was ignored and the outcast, I saw myself in this version of Peter; I see myself when he argued with May and Ben... I see myself when Peter asks out Gwen- This film helped me figure out who I am and I thank it: A decade later I still have the same love for this film as I did when I was 9 years old. Without this film I wouldn't grow close with my friends if it didn't exist. ASM is the reason I'm the person I am today and I couldn't be happier calling myself a massive fan of them despite the issues there is. They didn't matter, what mattered was seeing Spider-Man become Spider-Man
Even with the missing pieces (missing scenes), this is a pretty good Spider-Man movie. I at least felt something out of this compared to Disney’s Spider-Man.
We love when StoryStreet uploads!
Every once in a while, I watch a thing like this and realize the kids are gonna be alright. Thanks for this essay, it really gives me hope for the future.
This is why superheroes exist, and why we go back to them again and again. Their simple stories can contain so much of the human experience. The superhero, I feel, represents the warrior archetype in the broadest sense, taking on the metaphor of life as a battle to be fought. And I think this is a good metaphor for life, not despite its darker overtones, but because of them. It reminds us how close the dark side is, how easily we can become the shadow version of the warrior, just as Peter Parker does early in this film. Kurt Connors as the Lizard is a perfect representation of the monstrous shadow warrior, a perfect monument of muscle and power, except without humanity. The metaphor is so on the nose it's ridiculous, but that's what makes superhero stories so great. They're not trying to be subtle.
One of the things I didn't care for about Amazing Spider-Man is how hard it leaned into dark shots, dark shadows, and dark characters. I think it's safe to guess that it was conceived in the shadow of Batman Begins, trying to match the mood, the complex origin story, etc. Everyone could see that it was a Spider-Man film trying to be something else, rather then embracing what makes Spider-Man great. I'm not surprised to learn that the scenes that made it a true Spider-Man movie were deleted. Without them, the film's villain doesn't reflect Spider-Man, and so beating him doesn't show us the core of Spider-Man's character. He's just an obstacle to be overcome.
So what's the core of Spider-Man? I think you found it in this essay. He's a boy trying to become a man by taking on the burden of the world alone. Yet, like all of us, he's not quite strong enough to do it alone, and must rely on help of others. And that help comes because everyone can see how much he's done for them. So he represents the conflicted duality of self-reliance and mutual support that lies at the core of our social fabric. As you pointed out, the cranes scene was a pure, perfect Spider-Man moment that captures this transition from self-reliance to mutual support. It's like the scene in Spider-Man 2, when the people he saved on the subway car carry him to safety, or in Spider-Man 1, when the people he rescued from Green Goblin's no-win scenario distract Gobby, giving him a chance to save both them and MJ.
To be honest, I've always been more of a Batman fan. But Batman films have very few true Batman moments. Perhaps because it's hard to put one's finger on what makes a Batman moment. It's not just standing over the city with your cape flapping. It's not saying "I'm Batman," or even "I'm vengeance. I am the night." That's just the pose. Whatever it is, it seems to me the films haven't quite found it yet. While Sam Raimi knocked his portrait of Spider-Man out of the park by finding that duality within him. And Mark Webb clearly understood it too. And it's a shame he didn't get to fully express it.
It doesn't take a huge leap of logic to notice how many superhero films start off as real films, only degenerate into a listless parade of effects, stunts, contrived stakes, and empty triumphs. Wonder Woman is a perfect example, a film that lost track of its real story in the final act. And Marvel Studios seems to have abandoned their higher aims in order to churn out that formula. But I think it's better for us to look for what's good in films than what's bad, to see what's there rather than complain endlessly about what's not. We should draw a distinction between criticizing a film for not living up to its own intentions, and criticizing it for not living up to our expectations. After all, the last thing we really want is for every film to be exactly what we expect.
This video captures perfectly why I relate the most to Andrew and Marc Webb's Spider-Man. This spidey often gets criticise for its inaccuracies but it's kinda hypocritical of those who complain since the entire purpose of Spider-Man's character was that anyone can be Spider-Man (a hero).
(just a little rant) for as long as i can remember spider-man had been not only my favorite superhero, but my idol. i aspire to be as strong as him and courageous as he is. this movie was the first spider-man movie i saw in the theaters and i remember the audience and seeing people of all ages here to see one man. andrew is my spider-man, i tried to dress like him, style my hair the same, hell i even tried skating cuz of him. this movie means the world to me and after watching probably over 50 times i felt a connection between me and peter in this movie, and tbh if it wasn’t for this movie i don’t think my love for spider-man would be as big as it is now in my teens. this movie definitely has its flaws, what movie doesn’t? but in my eyes, this movie is my definitive spider-man movie.
I am definitely conflicted about the second movie, I see why people hate on it, but usually I hear the same arguments: two many villains (Witch is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard), two many plot points, confusing Gwen relationship drama, Captain Stacy ghost, and bad villains, but I find many great highs, like many emotional scenes, and great dialogue and suspense, and memorable and a stunning effects and fight scenes. The lows of this movie are big lows but the highs are so dang highs that is why I give The Amazing Spider-Man 2 a 6/10
Excellent video! I like The Amazing Spider-Man movies very much, but I agree they have some pacing issues.
Amazing analysis as always!! ❤❤
keep up the great work!
Great video as always
Thank you for these heartwarming videos, I can always find a way to connect and cry with your words. Hope you have a lovely day!
Much love bro
Very good analysis.
Seriously this is a fantastic video
Great video!! I love ur channel
I've loved this film from the first time I saw it. When I heard about the MCU reboot, I was pretty excited, but was more upset they were just ending these ones. I still think this is the best live action Spider-Man film by far, even though I have a few minor gripes (primarily the editing)
Holyyy this video almost made me cry
I absolutely LOVE what you say about art at the start of section 5 - really wonderful summation of it all!
Wasn't "we must be greater than what we suffer" in Gwen's graudation speech in TASM2? Makes me think Marc Webb wanted that to be the main thematic thesis of the series, as TASM2's deleted ending with Richard had him give Peter similar advice. "Don't [go on without Gwen,] take [the memory of her] with you."
What a beautiful video. Completely underrated i swear. Made me tear up.
Good video. I mean it. Those were good thoughts and what you said had value.
Thank you story street for this video. I’m going through a very dark time of life right now and this was a very uplifting caring exploration of this film. I really appreciate it.
Going to buy AMS in part because of this video, nice work!
The half movie thing makes sense though. You gotta remember that not only is this a peter Parker movie, it’s also a Spider-Man movie. The half shows Peter becoming Spider-Man
you described exactly how I feel about this movie its honestly one of my favorite spiderman movies and I feel some of the deleted scenes could've helped this movie a lot more especially the all the power you feel scene
Man, I hope in time the internet catches on how amazing this channel is. I only have a limited time on the internet these days and StoryStreet's channel feel like one of the few worth watching (and I'm subscribed to 250+ channels).
Great video! I feel very similarly. I like a lot of what the movie sets up and works with, but the third act just loses me.
heart touching ♥️♥️♥️♥️
The first one was pretty good. I think your analysis is spot on.
Let's go he's back
I was in middle school too when it came out . That's so cool bro
4:46 I agree I love how we really see how much Peter is hurting after Ben’s death. This is the start of Spider-Man and it’s important that Uncle Ben’s death has impact on Peter.
Wow...I gotta say, you have me convinced that the key to a totally better film was left on the cutting room floor with this movie. Those scenes make a huge difference.
I dont know why when i watched this movie it felt like i was watching a game walk through and less of a film, it wasnt a bad experience just different to the Raimi's films.
Your videos remind me a lot of Kyle Robes. Great care was clearly taken into making the video have a cohesive narrative and message.
I always felt bad looking at the discussions of people hating this movie. It was the first time on my birthday that my dad did something I actually wanted to do. He took me to see this movie and I loved it. It was my favorite movie ever for years. Seeing this video helps me to realize why I love it so much. I see the mistakes like the video points out but I think I latched on to what it was trying to be. Great video!
ive said it once and ill say it again. one of the most under rateed channels on this platform
They should’ve cut out all the “save the city from weird superweapon” and left it at “Spider-Man must save the city from rampaging lizard man while Peter Parker tries to save his friend”
I really loved Andrew’s spider man. I’m indifferent to his Peter Parker. But he really embodies spider-man’s ideals.
This is how i feel about man of steel, loved it in middle school, but rewatching it now, it’s not how i remember it.
I'm starting to think I'm being watched like in The Truman Show. Last night, I finally (after 10 years) watched *The Amazing Spider-Man* and then today this video is recommended to me! 😮 It felt disjointed and I couldn't figure out why. And now that I've seen this brilliant analysis, I understand why I felt that way. Thank you so much for this!!! 🤗👍🏽
Hey man, this made me cry.
I love these films and i love your take on the films even though i do not fully agree with all of them.
Hope everything works out for ya! Much Love.
👆ahahahaha
@@XX-121 Tf is funny?
@@Film_Addict your face when you cry
From someone growing up since the to toby era of spiderman, the amazing spiderman is the best of them all hes the best peter, the best spiderman, the best suit “TASM2” the best girlfriend and the best villains so far. To me I enjoyed the amazing spiderman so much and still rewatch it every couple of years and i think it didn’t get the chance to finish its story.
799 likes........you deserve so much more.
I was 6 when it came out and boy did I love it and I get this
please make a video on pirates of Caribbean,please its a request
glad that u made this video, love you 3000
The reason why the original trilogy and TASM1 were memorable, was because of the producer LAURA ZISKIN
It was because of her and her husband (the screenwriter Alvin Sargent) that the movies had depth
She was the only one capable to tell AVI ARAD when to back off
Unfortunately, she died in 2011, during the production of TASM1
Without her, there was no one to stop Arad from destroying the franchise
Spiderman was nothing without her
Why is this channel so underrated
What a fucking awesome video.
I never liked or disliked this movie, but you're right I don't know where this movie falls. And that tonal shift is what I feel is what's at the heart of it.
The Amazing spiderman is one of my favorite movies personally out of the entire trilogy and I feel like The Amazing Spiderman had the best origin movie out of the lot. I love the tone and the realism of this movie. Peter feels like a complete human being he doesn't feel like a complete saint or this perfect superhero and because of that he is completely relatable to everyone. I also love the story of how they show Peter's process of grief to how he became spiderman. This movie also had the best combat out of the Spiderman movie. The problem I had was the fact that Conner's didn't feel like a fleshed out villain
My favoutite. Can Relate
This is my favourite Spider-Man movie. I saw this movie when I was 4 years old and I still cherish it. It is even better to me now and connects with me more. Peter feels exactly like me and what I go through. Grief, trying to understand myself and be happy with who I am. Not what I am told to be or what I want to be.
Sad to hear you're going through that. I know Jesus has helped me through my struggles.
I'll be praying for you.
wooow this shit had more potential than i thought. like i love tasm but now i love it even more for those deleted scenes
I’m sold, release the Webb cut.
I'd *love* to hear your thoughts on The Batman. Great review!
Finally this movie gets some recognition. This is my second favorite liveaction spiderman movie (after no way home). The way it handles grief is.... well amazing. The scene when Peter pushes Flash against the scool lockers gives me chills. Also Uncle's Ben's last message is so heartbreaking.
Not to mention Andrew Gardfield's performance is outstanding throughout the film.
I also love the scene where Spiderman saves that kid inside the car hanging of the bridge. It's so simplistic and yet it represents Spiderman's heroism at it best.
This movie is great, and i never understood why people hate it so much.
I’ve always been a huge fan Andrew’s my fav spidey and I think you’re spot on however I think his performance and physicality makes up for a lot of the story problems
Ok the fact that the movie about regaining limbs got important scenes cut it a little funny, but I love tasm 1&2
Imagine saying Spider-Man’s powers are “in the background of the narrative”
ever since as a kid, I always loved this interpretation of the character, whether I have people who are conflicted about why I love it for what it is. It still does bother me why so many people downplay the future interpretations of said character claiming how “tobey is the best of all” don’t get me wrong, tobey was really fun to be around during the raimi trilogy, but I didn’t grow up with it or personally feel attached to it because of it’s different ideals.
Andrew Garfield’s spiderman is one I relate too so personally, a spiderman who was cut off from a potential future because others figured that he wasn’t good enough nor was he, enough. a character who had people who were willing to throw him under the bus for their personal needs. To then eventually get back at those people for those said things because he became, powerful. Not smarter, but Superior. To me, every deleted scene from both the films, explain an almost..alternate outcome, imagine yourself making a choice, you made that choice, but now you imagine what could’ve been from the other choice you didn’t make. That one thought you get in your head, that “What, If?” what if we had a directors cut, what if we had the full film completed? It really just shows how much they held back with these films, they were scared to EXPRESS themselves. which is why I love this spiderman, a spiderman I could truly relate to because of the actions they did to this spiderman. Connors too is also a compelling character, a man who wishes the same for every man and woman to be equal. It’s what I want too, but the world is just too different to accept IDEAS. It’s literally impossible. the best thing you said was how you see a movie that failed, but still TRIED. I cannot tell you how many goosebumps clicked when I heard that, when I heard that I felt understood. My parents are pretty harsh on me because they expect the BEST of me, but when the best of me isn’t there because I can’t be that said person, I face a consequence, I face insufferable regret. man, when you said the story isn’t about resolution, but acceptance or when someone feels a connection to you but you don’t, how can they be wrong? truly goes to show that we’re all different, whether you like it or not? We can’t follow what they want us to be. We’re not like what they imagine inside their heads, an illusion is a difference to reality. ACCEPT the fact that they weren’t this person you wished they were, and embrace the new outcome.
if you read all of this, take some orange juice, whilst you’re at it, take some water too.
Yes This is what I've been seeing The deleted scenes were very crucial to the film Deleting it rushed which didn't need to happen I hope A directors cut is released with all the deleted scenes added
I loved this film back then when premieres and I wasn't a little boy, I was a full grown ass man and I loved..........and then I watched again.....loved, and again....LOVED and recently after finishing No Way Home, I dare to watch it AGAIN.......................................and I not only still loved, I ADORE this film.......is perfect, hell no, it wasn't perfect not even the first time I saw it, but I still loved it, yes I know the delete scenes (BTW my favorite missing scene is the Curt Connors scene with his son), that is a tragedy Sony force on Marc Webb to do this (also in TASM2), but even so, I still think the film is good, what is great about this film is STILL THERE, Peter and Gwen, Uncle Ben and Aunt May, chief Stacy and his sacrifice, those bonding scenes between Peter and Curt, the arc of FLASH and PETER, Andrew becoming the best Spiderman with his quips and all sarcasm he have in the comics, the best Stan Lee Cameo, my favorites spider swings around the city, the beautiful cinematography, dat ending with Ben message.....the good of this film ECLIPSE all the flaws, and I will NEVER UNDERSTAND why people hate this film.....is the popular mentality of if is not what I used to like, then I hate it, if is not cool and POPULAR then I hate it, even if I really don't.....is just the popular opinion that is accepted, majority thinks this film is bad because is not SAM RAIMI or TOBEY MAGUIRE or not part of the mega popular MCU, so even people who probably never watched these films, assume was GOSPEL to hate these movies, when in reality are GOOD MOVIES (yes I include TASM2 on that), I hope now people look back and see this and not assume what others say as gospel and seal in stone. Marc Webb did a fantastic job and I hope one day he see HIS CUT of both TASM films, his vision not SONY'S mandates cuts to shorted those films, if there have ever been a fanbase demanding a director's cut that truly deserved that cut....is THIS FANBASE the people who love TASM as they are and support both Marc Webb and Andrew Garfield through the years no matter what haters said. I will love to see a finish version of this film with all the scenes deleted added back (at least the important ones there is a few that can stay out) specially these ones you talk about here. These films in my opinion are better than even the first 2 MCU Spiderman films (Homecoming and Far From Home), are more in tone with what Peter's stories are, and I not hating on Tom films, they all are good and okay stories on their own, but just not SPIDERMAN STORIES not in the traditional way both Sam Raimi and Marc Webb approaches their Spidermen films, I will always defend these films and I hope more people see it now, that these 2 Marc Webb films as FLAWED AS THEY ARE......are good movies.
Hey i dont know if you will ever read my comment but i want to tell you that the secound half of this vedio reached my soul deep as an orphan my self i always wanted to make up for every emotion of helplessness and sufering that i ever end ured i want to be perfect i want to be great i want to be whole and able to feel capapel of writting my own story and being full again, perhaps thats why i love the prequels and G. O. T. And TASM because they have a very high and bright peak of light and hope but they always fell short regardless of how hard they tried and what ifs and fan fiction always was a drug to me to escape a little, and now that i graduated from high and i don't feel i desserve it heck i know i dont i see my self in two out liars on a spectrum between absolute ego and worthlessness ad and self petty i also have much thought of sucide and throwing my life because even in my highest atchevments i always find a way to peek a hole in my happines, so thank you from bottom of my heart because you gave the missing buzzle to appreciate the life that i have and the people who cared and will care for my truly... Best wiches my guy
Please, you gotta do more Spider-Man
I feel conflicted about The Amazing Spider-Man as well:
On one hand I think it is a genuinely underrated and well written/acted and directed Spider-Man movie
But on the otthhheerrr that Spider-Man suit fucking suuuuuckkss!!
I love the Stan Lee cameo in this movie, but the best Stan Lee cameo is the one from the end of Spider-Man: The Animated Movie.
series, yes
best spiderman
I wish they could have released the first Amazing Spider-Man film with the deleted cuts intact, that definitely would have made it better.
Marc Webb is amazing, and people should NOT blame him for the failure of this franchise
They should blame AVI ARAD
