Spiderman or The Amazing Spiderman?

Which movie is better and why? I say the amazing is better because peter actually had to make his own webs and Lizard > Goblin

The Dark Knight Rises.

I think Amazing Spiderman could've been great. I don't like how they focused so much on Peter and Gwen though, I mean they basically have a perfect relationship, not much to develop there. They should've had more fight scenes with spiderman saying cheesy one liners. I still liked it better than Spiderman though.

Spiderman movies are the worst of all Marvel movies. Even X-Men Origins: Wolverine is better than any of the Spiderman flicks.

Spiderman The Animated Series on Netflix > any Spiderman movie.

The Amazing Spider-Man would've been better if they didn't make the stupid decision to retell the origin story. Why? Everybody already knows how Spidey gets his powers. Summarize it during the opening credits, and move on.

It had flashes of greatness, but it kept falling back on old tired cliches. It's like they tried to make a good movie, but then allowed focus test groups to rewrite scene after scene.

I prefered The Amazing Spiderman. The characters seemed more believable, and Martin Sheen did a great job at Uncle Ben.

The crane scene was embarrassingly stupid.

I'd take dancing emo Peter over that scene any day.

amazing spiderman because I prefer Garfield's "kid"spiderman over tobey mcguire's "35 year old in highschool" spidermanLiftedHeadshot

The first Spiderman movie was good, the second ok, the third was an insult to humanity. I really can't stand Tobey MacGuire or Kirsten DUnst though. Horrible acting.

I think they set it up for the next one to be fantastic, as long as they keep it with Green Goblin killing Gwen Stacy.

I hated the origional trilogy, and I couldn't stand Maguire. This one was cooler.

But I agree that they should not have retold the origin story.

I liked Spiderman and Spiderman 2, and I was iffy about them remaking Spiderman so soon. After seeing the Amazing Spiderman however, I vastly prefer it to the Sam Rami films, everything is just better about the film.

I gotta re-watch the first Spider-Man movie.

but given that i saw that 8 times while it was still in theaters, and i have no desire to re-watch Amazing Spider-Man. probably liked Spider-Man a whole lot more.

Amazing Spider-Man apart from fight scenes, just didn't make a whole lot of sense. too many coincedences like x happens to be related to/working for x!

Garfield and Stone had great chemistry on screen, but that could be due to the fact they are in a real-life relationship. Which makes me wonder how good they'll be in the sequel(s), if they ever break up during the filmings.

Also while i feel i can say Green Goblin was good (despite being basically an evil power ranger) because well he's whacked out of his mind. Lizard - while he looks cool - his motives never made any damn sense to me. There was not angle of "well he's crazy you see..." with Lizard.

there tried to keep my spoilers at a minimum. If you don't know anything about Lizard, or that Lizard is in the movie, i don't know what to say.

The first flick. It had more actions and there were explosions too.

I really liked the amazing spiderman better. Peter seemed a lot more realistic this time around, seemed to play the role more of a teen then a superhero which i liked a lot. The couple gwen and peter were really cute, they were both so cute :3. Again really liked the actors this time around, i hated mary jane so much.

*kinda spoiler*

One thing though, i hated how in the amazing universe spiderman couldnt shot web i mean come on how i shot web. instead he uses some web tech :P

i just dint like how some of the stuff was just so conviently there for spiderman and how it seemed forced at times

Tobey Maguire was actually younger than Andrew Garfield at the time of the release.

The Amazing Spider-Man....way better than the original trilogy.LJS9502_basic

Haven't seen the old one in a while, but I'd probably say that one was better. The new one had it's good moments and all but in total it wasn't as good. It started better than it ended in my opinion. Wasn't a fan of The Lizard either.

I like them both, I have a soft spot for the original, I loved the new one though. I'd say I preferred the way they handled Ben's death and MUCH preferred the Green Goblin in the first film, but I like that this one uses Gwen Stacy instead of MJ first (which is how the comics did it) and how he had to build his web shooters, while also keeping him in high school for a bit.

Both are pretty stellar I'd say, and I think Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield were both fantastic Spider-Man actors.

Also I personally prefer MJ to Gwen (comics wise at least, and for my redhead soft spot), but I think Emma Stone is MUCH more likable and Gwen's character ends up being smarter and more capable. MJ was human and in the comics she was feisty, but here they made Gwen feisty as well while retaining her intellect and not making her a damsel in distress.

The Amazing Spider-Man.

Who's never seen a single Spiderman movie all the way through? This guy.

I liked Amazing but the first one just felt like he had more fun. In Amazing i thought spider man was going to do more quips but really the only one he did were the ones in the trailer and they werent that great after hearing them several times before. Like another poster said 1994 animated Spider Man is still kinda the best. In the cartoon he always had a good wit to him and i think the other bonus was the inner monologue that the audience got to listen to his thoughts and really understand him. I get why they cant really do the inner thoughts in the movie but certainly they could have made spider man feel like he was having more fun.Kurushio

I liked The Amazing Spiderman more. I could've done without the chick flick pacing but everything else was alright.

Amazing Spiderman was better, even if the music was among the worst I've ever heard in a movie.

Definitely The Amazing Spiderman.

I'm not sure about this one. I saw The Amazing Spiderman last week and I thought there were so many corny lines and the movie overall left much to be desired. With that said I still prefer Garfield as Peter Parker.MidnightCraze
