Ex-Sony chief Amy Pascal had Amazing Spider-Man 2 concerns two weeks before UK Premiere
By Daniel Wood
Do you believe in premonitions, in psychic powers, or the ability to tell the future? Because apparently ex-Sony co-chairman Amy Pascal is gifted, and I mean Scarlet Witch predict the future level gifted.
That’s because another leaked email has revealed that Pascal had concerns about their latest Spider-Man installment a mere two weeks before it’s big London Premiere. But, rather eerily, her problems with Amazing Spider-Man 2 seem to echo exactly word-for-word what most of the film’s harshest critics pointed out as flaws.
Take a look! Amy Pascal wrote
"you knOw the reAl problemIn my heart I know the truth and I just keep wanting someone to not think what I think and have always thought"
And Doug Belgrad wrote back
"Which is what?Not cool enough, action not groundbreaking?"
Amy’s reply is a long list of problems that have obviously been playing on her mind. Do yourself a favour and open up a critical review of Amazing Spider-Man 2 and play Amy criticism premonition bingo, see how many you can spot!
"All of thAtUnevenskitzo toneelectro lameeverybody too dourToo much fashion and Clothing awarness for this kind of movieNot funlame eleCtriCitycryingRepetitiveLongdoesn’t ever hiT the center bullseye for a long enough timeWeird disjointedNo one single great set piece because action is just big and not story tellingNot funny at allhate the parents storyprob if I’m really really honest wring director and wrong castingWe will almost get away with it and we can never go back no maTter how much pressure we have to do what’s right"
What immediately comes to mind is how someone so seemingly illiterate can get literally one of the highest paid jobs in the film industry but after that you get the sense that Sony reluctantly released a Spider-Man film they weren’t happy with, which is insane when you think about it.
