Andrew Garfield talks about what went wrong with The Amazing Spider-Man 2

It seems there were some issues during the creative process.

"I read a lot of the reactions from people," Garfield tells The Daily Beast, "and I had to stop because I could feel I was getting away from how I actually felt about it. For me, I read the script that Alex [Kurtzman] and Bob [Orci] wrote, and I genuinely loved it. There was this thread running through it... It’s interesting to do a postmortem. I’m proud of a lot of it and had a good time, and was a bit taken aback by the response."
"Once you start removing things and saying, 'No, that doesn’t work,' then the thread is broken," Garfield continues, "and it’s hard to go with the flow of the story. Certain people at the studio had problems with certain parts of it, and ultimately the studio is the final say in those movies because they’re the tentpoles, so you have to answer to those people."
"It’s a discernment thing," he explains. "What are the people actually saying? What’s underneath the complaint, and how can we learn from that? We can’t go, 'Oh God, we f--ed up because all these people are saying all these things! It’s s--t!' We have to ask ourselves, 'What do we believe to be true?' Is it that this is the fifth Spider-Man movie in however many years, and there’s a bit of fatigue? Is it that there was too much in there? Is it that it didn’t link? If it linked seamlessly, would that be too much? Were there tonal issues? What is it? I think all that is valuable. Constructive criticism is different from people just being dicks, and I love constructive criticism."

That is actually some interesting insight and refreshingly honest.

Overall not bad, but the cgi was horrible.

I just don't like him as Spider-Man. He comes off as a little douchebag, like a guy who does a twenty minute touchdown dance after his very first score. This seems like he's blaming everything but himself.

I didn't think there was supposed to be a plot. I enjoyed it. If you tell me a story line was intended, ehh....frick it. Shiny things and explosions was my expectations. It delivered.

I really enjoyed the movie. I didn't like Electro but I liked everything else.

Yea the problem usually occurs when:

Garfield goes on to say that studio changes had a lot to do with creating an end product that many fans felt was less than satisfactory.

I didn't think The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was that bad. It certainly is not the train wreck Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel turned out to be

I thought they should have waited another 5-10 years for the new Spider-Man series. I still think of Spider-Man as Tobey McGuire

I thought it was much better then the first one. At least it wasn't a retread. It would have been better if they cut out the parent arc though and made Jamie Foxx less cartoony.
