Sony did think so, otherwise there would have been a trilogy. People spoke with their money.

Huge ocean of debate between the island of sucks and massive success
This is a great and versatile burn. I'm going to steal this for in person use lmao
Now I'm going to be waiting all day for a coworker to say something where I can drop this.

Amazing 2 is so good.
Emma and Andrew are incredible. The swinging is amazing. Little banter moments like the fireman's hat, awesome. There is definitely a bit of a Joel Schumaker tone to parts, especially in the Electro torture scenes, but I forgive it because it's fun in small doses. I can ignore the parent stuff. The final scene with the kid -- love it. I just wish they really had gone with a third.
Edit: I forgot Dane DeHaan. yeah, that depiction sucked. Franco is the GOAT Harry.
I just watched Tobey 3 with my son and yeah... it just reminds me how little I like the Peter / MJ personalities in the Raimi trilogy.

I will yell out loud in my theater if Topher Grace shows up in No Way Home
Folks if the Amazing films were good we'd have more of them.
Last I time checked neither film had Hero by Chad Kroger and neither film has Zendaya as MJ so that's two strikes against it
But for real all the backlash does intrigue me I'll give it a watch one of these days

Doing an old Spidey rewatch and I still cry at the end when the kid puts on the mask. I'm a huge Spidey dork though. Movies rough in a lot of places but there's a weird heart that makes me love it in a way.
Rewatched this last Night. And besides the opening scene and the obvious villian baiting scene it's actually a pretty solid movie. The action and cinematography is really solid.
My only real complaint is that if you wanted to do Green Goblin the way they did, they needed to commit with the makeup and have him team up with Electro. They did neither.

Rewatched it this week, hadn't seen it in years. Honestly it holds up!!! I think I enjoyed it more than Amazing 1
I agree with you, honestly. I loved both Garfield Spider-Mans, and I wish we'd gotten that Sinister Six third film. I know everyone disagrees, I get it, and I love the Tom Holland movies too, but ASM 1&2 do some wonderful things with the character.
People blame too many villains for ASM2's weaknesses, but Rhino and Electro are just there to represent Spider-Man doing his day job. They're background to show how Peter is burning the candle at both ends, trying to reconcile his daily life with his SM side-gig. Harry's GG is the real threat, and he straddles the line between Peter's identities: the problem is less that Peter is always on call for heroism, and more that sometimes both lives cross over; just like so many of the best SM villains.
The CGI is still incredibly beautiful, and puts a lot of more recent movies to shame. It's distressing to realise how old this movie is, and how far back CGI quality has regressed since.
For the record, I don't like the Raimi movies, because despite the good stuff, I never enjoyed McGuire in the role.
Oh no, there are a large number of reasons for dunking on those 2
Just finished watching 2. They are flawed, but entertaining, and beautiful. Really liked Garfield as Spidey and Peter.
Now to Holland Spider-Man.

I've been putting off watching this even though I really enjoy ASM1, but I finally watched ASM2 last night and it was pretty rotten. I still love Andrew and Emma, and they're both wonderful in this, but everything else was a mess. Way too many half baked plots. Spidey suit was a terrible downgrade from the ASM1 suit, it looked like something I'd buy at Spirit Halloween. The score really missed James Horner. Harry felt like an afterthought flying in after the climactic battle with Electro just to rush Gwen's death. So much wasted potential.
Can was please get Emma and Andrew back for a Spider Gwen Disney+ series?

just bought the 4K set of the two Amazing movies.
god I would love this.
I wouldn't have even commented if you just mentioned liking the movie, hell I like bad movies too. However, then you had to go and talk shit about Raimi's flicks.
You have gone too far.
I think those 100+ horror movies last October fucked with your brain or something. You need to take it back and get a new one.
