Loki was better than the Lizard. In fact, that is one of the weak points. In the moment The Lizard shows up, the movie derails a bit. Andrew Garfield/Emma Stone put in back on track, tho.

I agree regarding lizard. Chemistry between Garfiled and Stone was breath taking and Garfield as SM was awesome. I liked him more than Maguire. :)

I liked Amazing Spiderman, but it's foolish to compare Loki to baby Godzilla. Loki was a much better villain.

Even though Loki got completely pwned by Hulk, he demonstrated genuine menace and a commanding presence in that scene in Germany yelling at people to kneel.Most people aren't gonna think much about Lizard down the road.

Just like the movie.

I guess I am just of the opinion that if I am a tre fan of something, I am gonna be a lot more objective. You are clearly the opposite. I'm jealous.

We all had odd moments. Let me say this, as human beings we'll never be completely objective. We'll all have biases and we can't do anything about it.

Loki was a very good villain in TA, I just don't put him in the Ledger, Doc Oc or Magneto category. Loki's game was all mental and I felt he was quite a bit subdued in physical aspects.

I got a friend who has religious and political beliefs that can't be changed, just like certain fan biases.On an Emma Stone note, I'm watching Easy A right now.

But I don't put Lizard in that above Loki category.And I find it impressive that Loki didn't need to be physical to be a strong villain. Edited July 8, 2012 by Jay Beezy

I actually don't put either Lizard or Loki in that category. The way people were gushing about Loki, I thought some might be saying that.

Well, he was subduing Captain America easily.

True but in the final fight with him against TA, he felt weak especially getting bitch slapped by Hulk.

Hell fucking no. Too soon, let's wait for The Amazing Spider Spider-Man 6th and 7th installment for that. It can't be done so soon.

I feel that slowly people will come around to The Amazing Spider-Man as one of the best films of the genre ever. The ending is just fucking brilliant. And to whoever criticized the Lizard: hands down the BEST villain of the year so far. Fucking brilliant and menacing as hell.

Best villain of the year so far? So out of, what, two people? Even if you include non comic book movies, that's not exactly high praise. He's better than the wolves from the Grey?

[Sims]

The fucking bear from Brave is a better villain than the Lizard.

*anxiously awaits Rth update* :)I'm just curious whether savages and Katy increase or not. I assume it's a given spidey will

Loki has never been a physical combatant first. I think of him as The Riddler(kinda, a gamesman anyway) wrapped into the power of a god. He's shown he can fight, he just prefers to manipulate you first. Thus by causing you doubt he's already cracked your shell...so to speak.

Which is why he is such an awesome villain.

[MovieMan89]

I find it funny that druv criticizes Loki for lacking the physical component and then goes onto say that's why he doesn't beat Joker and Magneto. Um say what? Those were even less physical villains than Loki!

[Lordmandeep]

Loki is likley the best villain in a big film since Joker though I think..
