The Amazing Spider-Man : Le destin d'un Héros

Autant d'acteurs oscarisés pour un tel film ? C'est aussi surprenant qu’incroyable. Je n'ai jamais compris pourquoi Spider-Man est constamment remplacé, la distribution change et l'histoire se répète. Mais je dirais que ça doit être comme avec Batman ou Superman. La chimie entre Andrew et Emma fonctionne à merveille, Electro fait son effet, le Bouffon Vert arrive peut-être un peu trop tard dans l'intrigue. Pour l'histoire, ça vaut trois étoiles bien méritées.

Comment évaluer un film qui est visuellement magnifique, techniquement ingénieux et boosté par Zimmer, mais incroyablement ennuyeux sur le plan du contenu ? Même les dessins animés pour enfants ont des scénarios plus inventifs et rafraîchissants, qui s'adressent également aux parents. Avec le nombre de blockbusters de bandes dessinées dont Amazing Spider-Man 2 est le deuxième, il est impossible d'accepter sa fadeur en termes de contenu. La moitié du film est consacrée à une histoire romantique, dont la monotonie et le cliché la rendent insupportable, et la moitié est remplie de conflits avec les méchants, qui sonnent comme du réchauffé et sont peu captivants, comparés à ceux de la trilogie de Raimi. Aucun progrès nulle part, aucun clin d'œil au public, rien. Sans jus, sans créativité. De l'eau bouillie 20 fois. Personne ne me fera regarder le prochain film, j'en ai fini avec Spidey.

The first film was about hormones, the second accepts the fact that it has to expose the character to something more fundamental (death, responsibility, loneliness) and somehow develop and problematize the character. Unfortunately, there is a syndrome of beating empty straw with the expression of a farmer whose cattle have died. The clichés and love twists are so stupid that even the nonchalant Webb loses grace and the whole thing is reminiscent of the weak moralistic moments of Raimi's trilogy. A certain inconsistency also continues between the detached adolescent escapades in the clouds and quite harsh moments (the introductory scene is something like Nolan would do) / an effort to motivate the villains more comprehensively. It's nothing that Spidey would excel at, so exactly, as was said here - the action is excellent and imaginative, whilst the link between it is a bit barren. Still nothing that offends me, but also nothing I would watch with increased attention and affection. (24/04/2014)

Emotions overcome reason, anger overshadows some more humane feelings, and somewhere deep within, there's that persistent desire for a deeper understanding of oneself and one's own origin. I wrote that in the previous installment, and I'll write it again now – and perhaps for the last time. Sam Raimi's version was great, but it is Marc Webb's personal approach and scriptwriting greatness that makes The Amazing Spider-Man an unforgettable series. Even after this Electric Rhapsody becomes just another interchangeable summer action film for everyone else, I will remember much more. I will remember Emma Stone, who dialed down her sassy approach and ultimately became the true and genuine Gwen Stacy. I will remember the nervously escalating storyline of Harry, which, even in a smaller space, causes a chilling sensation. And above all, I will remember a more mature Andrew Garfield, who effortlessly handles both the jumping red and blue quipster and the torn-up mess seeking help from his loved ones. In combination with the first film, it is a perfectly intoxicating experience, thwarted only by the greed of Sony bosses on the path to a unique trilogy. It's a tremendous shame, making all the preparation for further adventures utterly futile. Considering the power of the story about the rise of a young loner to becoming a hero, it is so frustrating that my frustrated arguments became irrelevant only a month later when Spider-Man returned to Marvel instead of another reboot. How he fared among the established Avengers, however, is a different story altogether. (05/07/2014)

Already with the first instalment I was telling to myself that Amazing Spiderman is a terribly unnecessary affair. On the other hand, this Spiderman is much more comic book-like, which makes it more interesting. It is true that although I went to see both of these movies with reluctance, at the end I was completely satisfied in both of these cases. The only shortcoming of the second instalment is the fact that there are more déjà vu moments reminding you of the first movie, especially in all scenes with young Osborn. Anyhow, the fact that the creators placed their bets completely on the cast made me watch this and spend over two hours enjoying the view. Andrew Garfield is cool and Emma Stone and Felicity Jones are great. So whether you like it or not, you just can’t be angry with this restart. (01/02/2015)
