10 Movies That Had MASSIVE Tomatometer Drops

3. The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Wonder Woman 1984
Sony

Initial Score: 83%

Final Score: 51% (32% drop)

Much like Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was released internationally several weeks before it finally bowed in the U.S., and the early critical sentiment suggested it was actually an improvement over the non-entity that was Marc Webb's 2012 reboot, scoring an appealing 83%.

In a remark that aged like milk, the original critical consensus even read, "Thanks to Marc Webb's confident directing and talented cast, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 entertains in spite of its crowded canvas and occasionally stilted narrative."

By the time hundreds more reviews had been posted, the superhero sequel had sunk like a stone, settling at a lousy 51%, with a revised consensus now declaring, "While the cast is outstanding and the special effects are top-notch, the latest installment of the Spidey saga suffers from an unfocused narrative and an overabundance of characters."
