Worst Marvel Movie Ever Made

Rating: 2/10 (3 May 2014)

Words cannot express how bad this movie is. There are many issues which plague this movie, some of which include bad acting, terrible sound editing, terrible script, and bastardizing the comic book story and characters that we all know and love. First, ill star off with the bad acting. This is one of the more minor flaws with the film (as it only applies to a few characters), but is still prevalent when it happens. The most horrific example of this is the German scientist and the actor who plays Rhino (for about 5 minutes, max). That was the worst acting I had seen since Tommy Wiseau in The Room. Next, we'll move on to the horrendous sound editing. A lot of my issue with this had to do with the songs; for example, songs being played where they don't fit the current scene, an overture sounding like it's from an old WWII propaganda video, loud, annoying, blaring dubstep at least once per scene which includes Electro. I swear, Electro should've been named Skrillex. He even makes dubstep (somehow) during an intense battle scene (that is one good thing about this movie; it had good CGI which made for cool battle scenes) by shooting electricity into several different pillar-like generators (which were never well explained; the only info we got about them was that they power all of NY, and the concept for them was created by the man who became Electro, before he turned evil). This doesn't even make sense. Next, I shall explain the how bad the script could be (at times). Again. This is one of the more minor issues with the movie, but I still found myself cringing at several different points in the movie because of its script. For example,during a scene where Harry Osborne teams up with Electro against one of the board members of Oscorp, Harry mentions how he tables have turned, and then says, "am I right?" To which Electro answers, "right as rain." Now, I understand that this is a common saying, but it doesn't fit the scene at all. It makes the scene seem somewhat silly and less dramatic. Now, let's move onto the worst of all of those piece of garbage's sins, the bastardization of the comic book characters and plot. For the characters, namely the Green Goblin and Rhino (who are in the movie collectively for about 10 minutes, I kid you not) who are completely different from their comic book predecessors. For the Green Goblin, first of all, he is NOT Norman Osborne, he is Harry Osborne, who contracts a fabricated genetic disease which kills Norman Osborne within the first 10 minutes of the movie. The Green Goblin's outfit looks silly as well. It looks like the left over Cyberman torso and legs painted green. For Rhino, first of all, he is in a strange mech outfit equipped with large MG's, rocket launchers, at least several inches of armor, and a strange metal horn-like thing on too of his head, rather than the real Rhino outfit. Rhino also gets defeated pretty easily; by Spiderman's first swing of a manhole to Rhino's several-foot-thick made of metal horn which should be strong enough to withstand the force if charging into things at high speed and therefore the force of being hit by a manhole. Not to mention that BOTH of these characters are some of Spiderman's most powerful (and famous) enemies, and deserve more than 10 minutes of screen time. Also, for the plot *MASSIVE SPOILER*, Gwen Stacey dies. Not only does she die, bit she died in the dumbest way - a long, overdrawn falling scene from the top of a bell tower, only to be almost saved by Spiderman, however, her head hits the ground (I guess), but her body never actually hits the ground, as she was webbed by Spiderman, and she most likely dies of a head injury (and there at least should be a broken back as well, as the motion of falling from a very tall bell tower was suddenly stopped with all of the pressure being forced onto her stomach, which would bend he body until the spine would snap, and most likely puncture several vital organs). And a final thought - there were many times where Spiderman should've died due to electrocution. And don't give me that "healing factor" crap that was made up for the purpose of trying to make some sort of sense to Harry Osborne's convoluted, ridiculous storyline of trying to cure himself of his disease. Overall, this terrible, horrible, awful installment of the Amazing Spideman series seriously falls short of being considered even average, as the only think keeping it from getting a 1 from me are the cool looking battle scenes.
