Wait, when does this film come out?

Comes out April 18th in the UK, and even then they have a 2 day early release so April 16th .

I have to wait until May 2nd here.

Eh...Honestly screw these reviews I'll just watch it for myself,It doesn't seem that bad. IGN usually reviews certain things poorly and Rotten tomatoes...meh

@flameboy298: Well look at it like this, it has 2 middling reviews and 7 good ones.

@jonny_anonymous: 7 good ones eh?Didn't know about that.Wonder when the DVD release will hit

@flameboy298: I will still see it, even if it's a bad movie it will still be a good action one.

Its no Spiderman 2 but I still can't wait.

I hate Andrew Garfields peter parker and I hated Gwen Stacy in the last movie but somehow I am still excited for this.

@jayc1324: My feelings exactly except the Gwen part.

I saw the movie yesterday at the french premiere in presence of the cast and crew (Emma Stone is awesome, she signed autographs for like straight up 20 minutes!). My verdict is that it was very strong film, the acting is pretty good, the plot is quite clear and not overloaded as it was many people's fear and the action is AMAZING (best super hero action ever I dare say).

I will not say anything further as I don't want to spoil it for you people. Go see the movie, you won't regret it!

It was Amazing

@boogiesteven007: Use the spoiler blocks, the movie hasn't been released yet in America along with many other countries.

70%!!

Rotten Tomatoes are CRASHING this film........it had 87% last week!!! O__O

@punyparker: Damn.....well I find IMDB or whatever to be the most accurate when it comes to rating the movies

IMDB is a bunch of misleading crap,my friend.
Rotten Tomatoes is the overal score or the gathered reviews.

@punyparker: I firmly disagree with that statement.

Sometimes it bases casting on rumours,and puts it out as official.
They had JK Simmons as Jonah in the Amazing Spider-man film,for a while......then they took it down.

As for Rotten Tomatoes,that's how it works,it's not my opinion.....there's nothing to disagree about.

@boogiesteven007: I really hate you.

Yep, he is right. Rotten Tomatoes is a collection of scores given by various reviewers. Its not always a good barometer, but is usually a fair indication. Not a brilliant score for ASM2, but if you read the comments on my thread, I will try and explain why without giving any spoilers!!

Don't really care about reviews for any movie. I can't even remember the last time I read one.

I see a lot of movies and am fully capable of forming my own opinions.

Because it's the movie verse...nick fury wasn't black either, and then ultimate made him that way, and then the movie followed. Hulk wasn't made by recreating the super soldier experiment, but in the 2008 movie he was just like the ultimate comics. Electro doesn't look like a boxer, he looks like a nerdy loser, and then a blue energy man. No idea what race he is in ultimate comics

@boogiesteven007: Even though users should be apprehensive about reading a thread about movies they do not wish to be spoiled, this isn't a spoiler thread (no indication) just for initial reviews, so in that light please be careful with what you reveal and remember you can use spoiler functions.

Like this?

Well,i said many times that it's not in America and most Europe yet,so it has the potential going 80 again.

So good! Not a big spidey fan usually, but this film may have converted me. Between this and Cap 2 there is a new surge in the superhero genre which it lacked last year. Great job!

One thing about looking at reviews though......damn, I have to use a spoiler for this point LOL

Some people do not like their movies to have unhappy endings

Also the movie has gone back up to 72% on RT, expect a huge change (one way or the other) when it arrives in the US.

Yay.

I've been hearing that it's meh.

Why does everyone use Rotten Tomatoes as a guideline? A lot of the reviews for any movie don't even end up on it. The review has to come from an approved website. Never understood why everyone looks to Rotten Tomatoes, as long as you like the movie your watching who cares?

Read above.

Rotten Tomatoes is a gathering of reviews,and making an overall score of it.
That's why.

It's not an opinion of a certain critic.It's an overall score of the reviews that come in....why do you think the score is drifting?

I'm not talking about this movie specifically. I'm talking about every movie. Most people use it as a way of saying "this movie is better than that" or "this movie has this rating so it's not worth it". Now I get if people were wondering if the movie if the movie is generally liked, its great for that, but you guys shouldn't worry so much about it. Look at Man of Steel it has like a 56%, I don't believe it deserves that, I think the 70's would suit it. But I digress, like I said, not every review makes it onto RT, so what does it matter, plus the meter is very accurate, there are some reviews that are considered negative that should be positive and vise-versa.

Me too.

And as i said numerous times before,i dont believe this 72% now,cuz the movie is not out half the Europe AND in the US yet......if this 72% will still be as it is in the middle of May,then tough luck,but now this 72% means nothing to me.

This 72% will probably go down knowing the US.

nah.
I still think it'll hit 78 or 80% ....

ASM has 73% dude......this will be ridiculous.

I don't really care about critics rating. I think the audience rating is the one to go by. Critics view movies very differently.

Well,ASM got a 78% from the fans ,so it's not a big difference.

Reasonable score for the movie. I would think.

It sure is.

@punyparker:

Yeah, hadn't taken into account the fact that nearly all the reviewers are British. As a Brit myself I can tell you that British film critics are notoriously snobby when it comes to films, in the best brit tradition, they generally love all this low budget art house stuff, rather than big budget Hollywood blockbusters which they deem beneath them and their reviews are normally low scoring of super-hero films. So 72% is pretty good really and yes, once the US critics get to see it, the overall rating should go up a lot.

It was at 87% at some point.......really hope it does well in the US market.
Come to think of it,in the acual market it WILL do well....it might reach Spider-man 3 standards......the critic and fan reaction is what i am concerned.

Love the UK.Wanna visit London.
I've been only in Liverpool for a week.Visited Anfield,for a game. :D !!

@punyparker:

Cap America's already cleared the 500 Million Dollar barrier, if Spidey doesn't get beyond 800 million I will eat my trousers!

Yeah you should visit London, great city and impressed you have seen a Liverpool home game, even I haven't managed that and I am a major football fan, but live on the South Coast of England.....only problem with UK is its too damp and cloudy for much of the year, unlike most of the USA....

I was young,i dont know where my dad got the tickets! :P
What team do you support?....i am a major football fan too,and after that game,my English team is Liverpool,of cource.

@punyparker:

The premier league team I follow is Newcastle United. They are from the North east of England and are currently rubbish, but have a great tradition and passionate fanbase, coming from a former industrial part of England. They are probably something equivalent to your US football team the Pittsburg Steelers, although at least the steelers have won a few trophies in recent times!!

Im not an American,and i follow football 16 years now,so i very much know who Newcastle is,mate! ;)

@punyparker:

Humble apologies for my presumption - !!

As you know who Newcastle are you will understand my pain!!

Yes,of cource.......(big mistake selling Cabaye,btw..)
And you understand mine,cuz Liverpool was pure sh!t for lots of years....even the Benitez years are mediocre,if you exclude 2005's Champions League trophy.

But we're getting off topic here,so if you want to have a football chat,pm me anytime! ;)

Hmmm

the movie was so epic my favourite scene was when
