'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' Synopsis Revealed

I'm kind of half/half with the ASM reboot. I thought the story and movie were very enjoyable for the most part but I'm still not sold on Garfield as Peter/Spider-Man. And now with casting this new Harry Osborn, I continue my distain for their casting of important characters because that guy does NOT resemble Harry at all. Two very important casting calls and they totally botched it. I will say though I do like everyone else who was casted for the movie. I'm not overly excited for this movie. I'm just kind of … waiting for now. However, I will acknowledge when the trailer is released, I'll probably fanboy up temporarily.

I thought The Amazing Spider-man was alright, not great (but still better than Spider-man 3). I'm not looking forward to this one. If the "Green Goblin" (does he even have any green in the pic, hard to tell) in this one didn't have his glider, I wouldn't know who it was. He looks more like Morbius with his pale skin, tight clothing and fangs. Also don't care for Rhino. I'm fine with him being more mechanical, but having him being a quadruped seems a bit lame. Maybe if he was on two legs and sort of transformed and got on all fours to charge, that would work, but just looks awkward to me. Electro I don't mind and I love Jamie Foxx's work. I think the look of him is interesting and works.

is more meh, good or bad? if it's 4 out of 4, doesn't it mean it's 8 times as meh as a half?

Agreed. The first movie was a mess. It's always fun to see Spider-Man swing around and beat up baddies, but the plot was all over the place. Very poorly written and uninteresting to watch for me.

I wish them luck in their sequel, and I genuinely would love for this to do well as Spidey is and always has been my favorite superhero. But I won't support this series until it proves to me that it's earned it. And historically, throwing more bad guys on the screen is the quickest way to ruin a franchise, not build upon it.

The earlier Batman films, Spider-man 3, X-men 3, it's like these people have never seen a superhero film.

With 4 main characters (plus strong side characters) there's just no way there is going to be any character development. This poster just screams "BAD OMEN" to me.

I can't wait, I thought the first on was alright but I have high hopes for this movie.

That might be basing the Rhino off his Ultimate counterpart where's he's stuck inside a mechanized rhino suit

We need some T&A somewhere.

I like!!!! Not sure about Rhino. He's... a robot? I'll have to see what he does in Spider-Man 2. I might like his version. Who knows. Loved the first Amazing Spider-Man movie! I've watched it probably more than 10 times already and never got tired of it.

I can't believe they took out MJ. I'm still hopeful that they'll include Black Cat.

@tazzmission: Me too and then 2015 is even crazier.

hmmm... do not like

im going to be broke in 2014 because 4 movies are my most anticipated

captain america

spiderman

xmen

guardians of the galaxy

I will go into this movie with more caution than any other comic book movie next year. I really enjoyed the reboot despite the unnecessary origin retelling and I hope this movie surpasses it now that it can move away from familiar ground. Even still, I am more worried than excited with a lot of what I have seen so far. Days of Future Past is a similar feeling but the excitement for that movie far outweighs my concerns. Cap and Days of Future Past are definitely my two most anticipated movies coming up.

i wish they went with a different look instead of the spidey 3 version of the goblin. but i will say looks better than rhyno by far

I am so glad they made the rhino look like he did. I think that stupid costume he wears in the costume makes him probably the dumbest looking rogue in his whole gallery (Yes even more then shocker). But I am not a fan of the twi hard looking goblin. I hope thats just a preliminary photo and they're at least going to add in a more CG look to him. Also it makes me dreadfully afraid thisll have the exact same problems as spider-man 3. Seems a tad overstuffed if you ask me. So I'm really afraid thisll be as bad as the first one.

I'm not sure what to think of the Rhino mech...but I like the Green Goblin's look. Still a bit apprehensive about having three main antagonists, though...

I was thinking more Klaus Kinski

I didn't like the first one that much and usually sequels of movies are worse so I am finding it hard to get excited over this.

hmmmm doesn't look like a mask......... im pretty sure they'll make it more traditional looking

Better then the rumors it was gonna be the Ultimate spiderman look

I actually would have really liked to see the Ultimate look, but I suppose this is the better route to go, as I could see people being rightfully upset if we were now getting our second Green Goblin (third if we count Harry Osbourne goblin), and none of them resembled the original character.

Looking forward to this movie.

How do you just not mention Goblin in the poster? Anyway, I've seen a clearer image of him, and it looks like it will be a mutation, like the Ultimate universe, but resembling the traditional look. I guess what I mean is, it looks like the traditional Goblin, but the face isn't a mask.

The quadpedral Rhino outfit....That could be interestingI wana see it in motion

Anyone else thinking swapping the actors for Peter and Harry would suit their characters so much more?

Looks more like a mech/vehicle, so if anything, it's probably loosely inspired by Rhino's ultimate version.

I cannot wait to see this film, not sure why The Rhino looks like a zord though.

agreed,

I hated the first movie, but I have higher hopes for this one

yeah, i don't like it at all if Rhino is just gonna be a damn robot….

please expand on this universe if we dont get a marvel/sony co produced spidey film!!

Hmm.. Looks like Rhino is gonna be some mechanical quadruped.. I am not impressed.. -_-

I give this movie 1/2 "meh" out of 4..

This isn't a complaint against CV, but rather Sony: this synopsis tells us even less than the information we already know. Heck, it doesn't even cover the poster's content.

Still not sure how I feel about them introducing the Goblin so soon....

I hope this is as good as the first one.

I can't wait! I loved the first film!
