I'm not surprised this is a big mess coming from Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. It's a shame that filmmakers don't explore the potential of incredible actresses like Gadon, Jones and Shailene Woodley in films millions of people will see worldwide.

It's bad, folks. Kurtzman and Orci have left their foul, fetid stamp on another franchise, marking it beyond repair with the fecal matter that is their script.

Why they are allowed to continue to work in Hollywood in non-managerial positions, i'll never know.

Plus, it sucks the way they killed off Harry. Brutal and vicious. At least poor Dane doesnt have to return for another one of these crapfests. The next one should be interesting – Chris Cooper seeks vengeance for the death of this son- and the real truth is that Spider LET him die, knowing he was gonna get killed. That's harsh. I'll take more Colonel Fitts any day.

I watched the first one recently. it had this really neat set up with Peter's parents that went against both the original 'Amazing' Spider-man and the 'Ultimate' version, the last being where Spider-man's dad was a scientist or something. He wasn't old enough to remember who his parents were, but I thought 'Oh, that's a neat idea'. I think 'Well, this must be what the movie is about' Unfortunantly, that's a small part of the film. I'd read so many Spider-man comic over the years and seen all 3 of the previous movies, that it's become standard to me.

The most interesting part of the movie is the stuff that's only the intro and not concluded. No doubt, there's more of it in this film. A kid looking for the mystery of who his dad was probably finding out that his parents died because of this scientific research is a great idea. They should of put it in another film and called it something else.

IT's also strange for me to see Gwen Stacy in the film. They killed her off in the 70s and she still hovers around like a ghost. By the time I read the books, she was rarely mentioned and Harry Osborne was just about to die. Ofcourse, I heard they brought him back. Apparently, like his dad, he was in Europe. HEY, MAYBE THAT'S WERE GWEN STACY IS… IN EUROPE! 🙂

'Orci and Kurtman write bad movie' shocker. What a pair of knuckleheads.

The biggest problems with this new Spider-Man movies is that they have no soul. SM is all about a personal journey but instead they want to get the character in the middle of a bigger super evil plot of corruption. Sorry guys, but Spider-Man isn't Batman. His story is about Peter Parker and not intricate plotlines about his long gone parents. This films have no heart, no moral, no heroism. They are more interested in overcrowding the films with character than actually making those characters be interesting and human.

There should be a League of Ruining Movies and it should be founded by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Zack Snyder.

The first movie was not that good. Even if it made a profit, I don't think it deserved a sequel.

These studios are all about franchises now, and all the merchandising that goes along with them, hence the numerous characters for action figures and the poor script. They got a good cast, but what's the point if you're just going to waste them in a bad movie?

This sounds exactly like what I feared an Orci/Kurtzman script would yield…Spider-Man Into Darkness.

I was hoping this would be good because of the cast. Obviously, it will have its fans and I read another more favorable review. But Oli makes his case in a very thorough and level-headed manner that I can see myself agreeing more with him. Hopefully I'll like it a bit more than a "D".

I didn't really think much of the last film and to see that this film is worse than I expected to be in all of its bloatedness. Thank you for saving me money and the time to not see this crap.

Sorry but it sounds a bit nitpicky to me. Of course, I haven't seen the movie, but I feel as if you criticise the bits of the movie that are very much suspect to personal preference like the soundtrack or the comedic relief moments (I think maybe you refer to Spidey apparently cracking a joke all the time, something he usually does in the comics to stir his opponents off and as a coping mechanism.) You mention how Spidey's portrayed more as a protector of civilians than as a fighter. Indeed, that sounds refreshing and maybe it should add up to the overall score you put at the end of the review. I guess my opinion on the movie will have to wait till I actually watch the movie but all in all I think your review is overly harsh.

Seems they've gone with experts of cobbling together a borderline bastardization of a property's greatest hits — the last one was Twilight-Man, this sounds too much like Twilight-Man: Into Darkness
the great chemistry between the two stars is the only saving grace of this series…i can't imagine 2 more and spin-offs already planned. awful.

This review is the lowest I've seen out of 22 different reviews. If people listen to this, they clearly don't know Spider-Man. The reviewer sure doesn't. I can't believe someone would nit pick the choice of music in a soundtrack. Go read other reviews people, not this one.

Sony should just give Spider-Man back to MARVEL STUDIOS so they could re-do Spider-Man and make it in their own universe and part of Phase 3 and be an Avenger!!!!

I disagree with you, I enjoyed the first movie and definitely can't wait till the second movie comes out……!

Critics need to get themselves checked. They want to give a bad review for a great movie and then give a 10 to a stupid piece of garbage.

I think the Amazing Spider-Man cast is much stronger than the Sam Raimi's. Andrew Garfield is a superior actor and so is Emma Stone. Their chemistry made the first film a treat. Just everybody in this film has talent. HOWEVER, I'm not a huge fan of the new screenwriters. They should've taken more risks with the talent they have. I will still go to see this new film since I love the cast so much. I could not stand the Peter/Mary Jane nonsense from the old movies. It got so old.

These "new" Spider-Man movies aren't worth watching. Sam Raimi's already done this, in 2002, '4, and '7. Their Rotten Tomatoes scores were 89%, 94%, and 63%, an average of 9% higher than The Amazing Spider-Man's score. Too soon, too similar, and worse. Nolan waited sixteen years and went a different direction with Batman Begins. Technology and content improved since the '89 version. That was worth it. This is not.

I watched the film last night without reading a single review before to influence. Very enjoyable and great in 3D. No spoilers from me but i'd give it 8/10. 1st one i'd say 8.5. Clearly a fan 🙂

These new films are for the proper fanboys of Spiderman. These new films remind of the Spiderman I loved growing up, the average guy who gets super powers, and has a witty punch-line. Sam Raimi's Spidermans had none of these, instead he had a down-trodden geek, who offered no comedic value to the films at all (Tobey's interpretation is not true to the character of Peter Parker). As much as I respect Raimi's influence on the art of making action/superhero films, his interpretation completely lacked any soul. Whereas the new ones actually do, Peter Parker actually has something to him, and for a film to balance the comedic and the tragic is a hard task, which Webb brings off with class. Reviewers are destroying this industry please stop it, it's disgusting.
