I can't believe what I just watched.
I really enjoyed the first movie and was on to see the Sequel. But Boy was I dissapointed. Also in a Kind of rage, as the filmmaker must think the audience is completly stupid and has no common sense.
I like the introduction with all the Art Kind of explaining what happened in the first part. Nice one. But thats it then. The Movie starts out with showing Peter Parker still in love with MJ but refusing her to save her?!
Anyway we have some Scenes where Peters life seemed to fall appart as he struggles with his two identities. So he has no Money, no work, goes to college but is rubbish there as well. So I ask myself, why on earth doesn't he move back to his aunti? She is an old Lady, would surely Need help throughout day and it would save Money. More obvioues reason of course: They both lost a loved one and are sad. I mean com'on! So they have this horrible birthday Party full of uncomfortable Scenes and cringy moments. Mary Janes appearance shook me, as she looked washed out, dull and not all the beautiful red haired angel she portrayed in the first movie.
The first time I wanted to shut down the movie was that predictable Scene when Peter brings the garbage outside. HORRIBLE! The writing, the acting... someone having a camera on and filming that nonsense? Yikes. It went like ten minutes, Peter Parker having no Expression at all and MJ talking she has now a new Lover. Peter is so shocked: OMG the Girl I turned down some month ago got a new boyfriend.
Next Thing I remember is this weird Meeting in a New York loft or something where this scientist had some work done. Sounded like he has his own CERN Fusion Collider in the living room, which could blow up and destroy the city but he would have it under controll. Sounds legit. I didn't really get it why exactly he would Need that sort of exo skellet to fullfill the work of a physic scientist, but it was surely needed for the plot.
Inbetween all those Scenes, Spider-Man seems to have some identity Problems which affects his superpowers. I find this is quite a good Story line! But it is very bad written. I took him like 2 hours to understand his new Powers in the first movie now it seem to go over weeks and weeks. Coming and going with his Kind of Depression he has. I mean - i can relate to that idea! So many things Happening, not knowing which way to follow. I feel the writer should have sticked to this one Problem: identity unclear, loosing his power, new villiain in town, Spidey get a grip and fights again! Set. But all this wishy washy love, not love in between. Couldn't they have left MJ completey out?
So of course when the scientist showed his new Invention the whole Thing predictibly blows up. OMG: The surgery Scene! I found it way to brutal and horrific compared to the rest of the movie. Horrormovie like the new metal arms of the scientist grapped like 10 doctors and grossly smacked them allover the place. This Scene was completly out of place and didn't fit at all in the atmosphere.
Well Octavius woke up and coulnd't handle his new powers. As a new Born villain in town he spontanuosly found a villain hideout at the docks. Some strange ripped of part from Train Station in steam punk style just wating to be housed by mad scientist. His first thoughts went to his Assistent, which he accidently killed and the next moved to: Money! So he robbed a bank at daytime and grabbed - what? To bags of Gold Coins?
How did he trade them coins? And how on earth could he order himself new devices and stuff for a new Fusion collider in his waterflooded hidy-hole? That part of the Story was so stupid. Someone acutally wrote that down and someone else acutally said: sure, let do this!
Again something with MJ and Peter. nobody acutally can decide who wants whom to kiss or not kiss. Meanwhile MJ is engaged with some Pilot or what she just seemed to have met. Which is: Her fith Guy in the whole Story: 1. Movie: Highschool Bloke, Harry Ossborne, In love with Spiderman and kisses him, in love with Peter 2. Movie: Pilot and then finally Peter... She really is some "scarlet women". So many guys in so Little time, how can Peter still fall for her?
There was this one Scene, I don't even know where in the movie but Peter went in this burning house (de javus first movie?) and tried to save a Little Girl. This Scene made me very angry: Just as he was he went in that completly burning building! He walked... he looked around.. EVERYTHING BURNED AROUND him!? No smoke, no... nothing. Petery alltime expressionless face didn't even Change when he somehow broke down a landing and that Girl pulled him up all by herself. So laughable and stupid directed. The first cough came like ... 25 meteres after he left the building.
So it had to came as Spidey feared: When someone knows his identity .. well MJ will be in danger. So she was. And her sreaming started again. I thought we would be spared of that this time. After that ridicolously Long Train Scene, where they've probably driven like three time through new York... I shut the movie down.
I took me a while to Digest the Horrors of acting I've seen. I agree that Tobey M. was quite a fail in the casting.
