The Amazing Spiderman (2012): C+
Every time I watch the amazing spiderman movies my opinion changes, they’re such a mixed bag. The movie really starts to fall apart in the third act when Dr. Connors becomes “crazy” for no apparent reason and wanted to turn everyone into Lizards. I wish they kept the villain relatable and not ridiculous.
On the other hand, the romance is good, the drama is great and there are many fantastic scenes sprinkled throughout. The movie really is a mixed bag
You should check out the Organic Eggs fanedit of TASM. It re-incorporates a lot of missing scenes and stuff that was cut for reshoots.
I honestly don’t understand Marc Webb as an editor. Both of his Spider-man movies suffer from too much cutting and reshoots. Both films were perfectly fine in their original form but then he’d go back and reshoot entire sections and cut out most of the good character motivations/moments. It felt like he was trying to sabotage his own films but it’s more likely he suffered from heavy studio interference.
