Rhino (The Amazing Spider-Man 2)
While Aleksei Sytsevich had the smallest of roles in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, his first live-action appearance mirrored the rest of the film: a steamy, hot pile of donkey turd. Even with the terrific Paul Giamatti in the role, Sony managed to cock this one up as badly as Venom in Spider-Man 3. Sheesh, when Rhino makes Jamie Foxx’s Electro look good, it says something.
For one, could anyone tell that his battle suit resembled a rhinoceros? It looked more like the bastard lovechild of Megatron and Soundwave after one night in Bangkok. It’s understandable that Sony might’ve wanted a different approach to the character, but surely they could’ve at least given him a better robotic suit than the prop leftovers from 1986’s Short Circuit?
Maybe the whole concept of Rhino in a live-action movie is a bad idea in the first place. The character’s not just stupid in appearance, but he’s also a weak villain that belongs in the dumpster along with the likes of Condiment Man, Toad, and Ryback. Do we really need more terrible bad guys in Spider-Man films?
