ZRE Podcast #18: In Defense of The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Spoilers ahead!
So like, UMM, people are like, CRAPPING all over this movie and like, I just don’t understand all this hate, y’know?
Even though TASM2 is raking it in at the box office (Yeah- I said it), many critics are outright bashing the movie as if they were being paid to(!). Which, in turn, creates a bunch of negative Nancies. What, you didn’t like it either? I bet we cover your complaints in our extremely awesome podcast as well as an explanation for the X-men clip. Order in the court, betch!

Are you going to review X-Men? I heard it is really good and that Marvel fans will love it.

I’ve seen X-Men, but will I review it? I don’t think I could. I’ve got something of a bias against them at this point, which I feel is justified.
I can say this though, that critics love it and the audience I watched it with were all into it. I would say if you liked the other ones, you’ll love this one.
