The Weekly Stuff #85 - Taking down the atrocious 'Amazing Spider-Man 2'

Wow! I didn't think anything could dethrone Prometheus or Transformers 2 on the shite scale on your show. Luckily my Spectacular Spider-Man blu-ray set came with a free ticket offer so I didn't technically contribute monetarily to the box-office. Is there a top 10 worst superhero movie count-down in the future? I look forward to the Godzilla show!
ReplyDeleteThat's how both of us paid for the movie too. Hooray for free tickets.
DeleteI wouldn't say we have any plans for a Worst 10 list, as I simply don't think I've seen 10 superhero movies I hate enough for such a list. Maybe a Top 5. But even then, it's a rare I feel passionate in my hatred for these movies. The worst ones - Hulk, Fantastic Four, Batman and Robin - are ones I feel I can brush off pretty easily. Amazing Spider-Man 2 is one of the only ones to make me actively uncomfortable and angry.
I've had fun re-editing movies like those and the Star Wars prequels to make them better. One can only hope that there is a completely different "Director's Cut" of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 for home video release that can salvage the series. They would have to re-edit the film and maybe even re-score it. From the trailers it seems like there could be a completely different story-line out there.
