Ironically I watched ASM2 tonight on video and kinda liked it. I can't tell if I really have no sense of what's good in film anymore, or if the "this is awful" descriptor is being over-applied. I've seen awful movies. Terrible, crappy, hideous movies (for a sample of movies I think almost everyone could agree are terrible look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_considered_the_worst). ASM2 is just an average fun movie, which manages to have all the working pieces of the Spider Man mythos stacked haphazardly together in a manner that looks and feels like a Spidey film but doesn't manage to quite do anything right.....that doesn't make it a bad film, just a poor adaptation. I also can't figure out why MB thinks Garfield is such a stud...the guy looks really dorky to me, but whadda I know. I've seen MB, and I guess comparatively speaking Garfield is a stud.
That said, this is possibly the best thing that could have happened. Marvel will hopefully get Spider-Man back into gear and recognizable with all the right moving parts. I'm really intrigued to see what the MCU Spider-Man looks like (although also slightly leery, having recently seen the Daredevil promo....which if I am not mistaken, he's not even wearing his blood red costume....sigh).
