Ugh. The Amazing series had so much potential. So much squandered, destroyed potential. The first 10 minutes or so of ASM2 is some of the best Spider-Man action on film. Too bad the rest of the film exists.

I had notes with good things to say about your writing, but now a mysterious masked gentleman has stolen them from me and is flushing them down a toilet. A shame, really.

Who are you again?

Amazing basically had me sold once it did the whole “My one weakness! Small knives!” bit. Y’know, actually showing me the Spider-Man on the big screen that I grew up reading.

After reading 60 years worth of comics, I'm tired of seeing people so dumb they can't figure out the obvious identities right in front of them. Or, when they do figure it out, die or immediately suffer from amnesia.

Also, Tobey's Peter Parker wasn't as great as people like to make it out to be. Just saying.

But, yes. Like I said, ASM 2 is right with SM3 in near-trash material. Enjoyable to watch to a degree, maybe, but not any good, and the films that ruined their respective series.

I thought SM3 was good.

I don't have notes with good things to say about your writing, but we can still claim that a mysterious masked gentleman has stolen them and is flushing them down a toilet.

Shame.

And, yes. Garfield was a good Peter, and Spidey.

Holland's also a good Peter, he nails the younger years personality and I hope they continue to nail it as they have Peter mature and enter college years. His Spidey isn't as good, for me at least, but that primarily comes down to the Iron Man-lite storyline. I'm all for the Iron Spider suit, but not only was it too soon, it was distracting from Peter's overall character.

'Tis a strange day when picking Spider-Man 2 as the best Spider-Man film is picking a hill to die on. Alas.

And, uh, I'll just be the guy whose favorite Spidey movie was the first Raimi one.
