Yeah thank god for that .
I don't find those spin-off films interesting too I just don't care for them .
Announced in July. See my post further up the page.
Sony knows something is wrong. They're trying to fix it. Problem is, how?
Write the next movie well, not by committee.
Yes, they definitely seem to think a slightly underwhelming box office intake is the end of days for them (how dramatic) and think giving the big blockbuster Spider-Man films a rest from the big screen will fix all that. As I said previously, that just doesn't work. You can't have a film like this that sets up so much of what will be coming in the next film and just let it sit for four years while the public twiddles their thumbs waiting for it to continue. To be honest, the film would've collected more box office bucks if it deserved it, but I honestly don't think it did.
After watching it for the first time a few weeks back I kept waiting for it to be awesome, waiting for it to impress me, but that moment never really hit. Electro was a bust, Harry was an absolute fatality, and the plot was a mess with too many things going on or being set up. You can't just introduce new characters like Harry out of the blue without any mention of them previously and expect us to believe that he and Pete are buddies, especially since the chemistry (or lack thereof) between Dehaan and Garfield is nearly non-existent to begin with. And don't even get me started on the CGI. The effects in the first film were great because they didn't seem so stupidly cartoony like they are in this one. Having a first film with realistic effects/lifelike CGI models and then making them stylistic and comic-booky in the second one doesn't translate well to the overall vision, especially since their visible fakery completely takes you out of the experience.
The saving grace of that entire film is Peter and Gwen's relationship, because Andrew and Emma have some of the best, most natural chemistry I have ever seen in an onscreen duo, and I'm not just saying that. As much as this film is flawed, I completely laud those casting choices. I can see why they are an item off screen if they are able to look so in love in the world the Sony adaption has created.
I agree with everything you sad. I think that Spidey maybe stays at Sony and they just keep getting rent from Marvel . Or Marvel would own the film rights, but pay a royalty to Sony. It's like someone inventing something and selling it to a big company for a royalty. Every time that company sells that product, they pay a small percentage (royalty) to the person that created it. They can still use that product and sell as many as they want, they just pay a certain percentage to the guy that sold it to them every time they sell/use it.
Marvel would be able to use Spidey in their MCU as much as they want, but every dollar Spidey brings in, Sony gets their cut. Marvel makes money, Sony makes money, fans are happy.
This is what Spidey is all about. I am looking forward to Sinister Six/TASM3
I concur. If Marvel made TASM2 and it turned out just like this, I'd still hold contempt for it. However, I do wish Spider-Man was back at his PROPER home, with all the rest of his comic cohorts where he belongs.
What Sony have done and are doing is beyond idiotic. What they did with ASM2 is what they did with Raimi's SM3 and the exact reason why we got a reboot in the first place and surprise-surprise look at where we are at. Rebooting the series with a change of cast will not solve the fundamental problem. The stories and screenplay need to be fixed and improved upon and the treatment of the characters need to be conveyed in a sensible way.
Rhino never should have been in ASM2 at all. All this talk of spinoff movies with venom, sinister 6 or a female-driven movie is a waste of time and resources. You cant even get your principle character right, who just so happens to be Marvel's flagship character and then the execs think its a brilliant idea to branch out. Seriously, Disney are serious big boys, they need to get their lawyers to do what ever they have to to get spidey back. He needs to go back home because as stand alone movies as well as being part of the avengers, as long as spidey is part of the MCU, the speed and interest at which spidey will be top dog again will be devastatingly quick.
Exactly.
Would be great to see him involved! :-bd
I agree. I think Andrew would be through the roof at the news. It's great that we have a Spidey actor who loves and knows the character just as much as the fans.
Think "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" Was A Box Office Failure?

Oscorp hall of spin-offs :))
This is the kind of thing that should've been in the film, not pointless action shot after action shot or all that Rhino nonsense. I hope they use this in the next film.
I saw this scene a while ago and agian I agree with you .
Care to offer any theories on how the hell Richard and Mary survived that crash? Cause, I'm lost.
I still hope to see this idea (Richard faking his death to protect Peter) come to fruition, and I hope it wasn't left out because the filmmakers changed their minds about the story arcs they wanted to hit in the next films. If this scene was put in the second film right before we see Peter face Rhino it would make a lot more sense why he suddenly felt so empowered to go on. They would've had to incorporate the winter setting to the fight between the two, but I feel the ending would have been much more epic and powerful with it. Anyway...
Some theories are that he is maybe chameleon or mysterio playing tricks on Peter.
Spider-Man's the problem and needs to go away if he has a hand in every villain's origin.
