10 Movies You Hated Before You Even Saw Them

10. The Amazing Spider-Man 2

People were already thinking the worst of this film from the moment it was announced. Superhero movies bring in a lot of money and so the studio producing them will do anything to maximise profit, including interfering with the director’s vision and otherwise messing with the cut.

Sony certainly had a few fumbles in its past, ranging from ruining Raimi’s movies by overstuffing them with characters right through to creating a whole reboot just to hold onto some film rights (The Amazing Spider-Man number one, I’m looking at you).

With audiences knowing everything would be so money-motivated and generally losing faith in Sony, everyone dunked so hard on this film without ever even seeing it.

The thing is, neither of the Amazing Spider-Man movies were even that bad; it just seemed that they lacked any soul, exactly as people predicted.

Whilst it at least isn’t a boring repetition of Raimi’s offerings, after a semi-promising first half it falls back into exactly what Sony always does: Bad guy, big fight, boring resolution. Yawn.
