Yet another new Spider-Man

In 2014 some ten years after Spider-Man 2 we got yet a new Amazing Spider-Man 2. Very difficult to roll off the tongue, why not call it Spectalur or Ultimate. I guess they are saving those for other franchises because with Marvel getting back the rights to Spider-man that's where we're going. Amazing Spider Man in 2012 was just uncalled for, mainly because Toby Maguire was still too close in are memories. I've explained why it was Necessary for another Superman despite we got five, and every true Superman fan knows the disaster that were Superman III and IV. And I'll say it again I feel that was enough groundbreaking techlolgy to make an awesome Superman movie but it was never used to its advantage for years. With the Spider Man it was all said and done. They should waited fifteen years for another Spider Man. With Marvel now having a shared universe with The Avengers British actor Andrew Garfield got into the franchise at the wrong time. But to many surprises Amazong Spider Man was good. It had great story structure great charicter we got to see the mechanical web shooters. Emma Stone was fantastic as Gwen Stacy. Andrew Garfiled was a lot more like the original design of Peter Parker by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko being very tall and wirery. As oppose to Toby Maguire being pale pudgy and more like ChrisphereReeves  Clark Kent, where he didn't embodie the comic book version who had more of a personality but you just go with it. Toby Maguires Peter Parker a lot more nerdier than the comic book versan as the same with Reeves Superman. I like how the the whole Amazing Spider Man was set in High school and got to see Peter Parker's journey un fold. His relationship with Gwen Stacy as oppose to the usual  Marry Jane and I also like how Flash Thompson took a bigger role in movie all help shaping Peter. We'll I first heard of Emma Stond I thought she was going to play Marry Jane due to her red hair. I was surprised to learn that Emma Stone was a natural blonde. She most deffinentlly has the looks for Gwen Stacy she is more than pretty enough for the role. Yet Emma Stones Gwen Stacy had a different attitude, she's more stronger than the way were used to her. Gwen Stacy is the ultimate nerd fantasey girl because she a sweet heart angel with gorgeous looks. She is the nice girl next door and you immediately fall in love with her. Which makes it all show more if bold move to kill her off as it was done in the comics and in the 2014 film sorry to give spoilers. With the sleeper hit Amazing Spider Man was I had no doubt in my mind the next installment would be just as amazing with just as great of characters and story structure. We'll I was dead wrong. I think this was due to the fact the studio couldn't not make up thier bloody mind on to make this move. When I say how to make the film they didn't know how many bloody villains to put in the damn villain and if they should include Marry Jane. I feel they didn't put much though into and like with films like DC comics Green Latern it was more that's do this picture rather than just bloody thinking about the story structure and script. I thought any studio learned from Spider Man 3 not to add so many villains but they didn't. Amazing Spider-Man 2 was all over the place and Gwen who was sporting a more up town hipster style than her traditional style, couldn't make her bloody mind about her reaction ship with Peter. I mean what else can I mention about Amazing 2. The  death of Normal Osbourne at the films start, the terrible casting of Harry Oabourne, and his stupid skin mutation. Jammie Fox and electro was not just creepy with obsession with Spider man, but was so cliched and and over all cheesy. Harry Osbourne just wasn't imdimidating or even interesting a villain or a green goblin. They just can't get the green goblin right on screen no matter how many times they try. Gwen Stacy dosent die on the Brooklyn Bridge but in a clock tower as Spidey makes the mistake or releasing his web too soon just like in the comics. 
Despite the movies disappointing outcome, like many disapointing super itallments I always hope a sequel will fix the movie rights and wrong and loose ends. Amazing Spider Man 2s un interesting out come just could not generate a sequel. I was looking forward to see how Peter would cope with Gwen's death, and how Marry Jane could come into play seeing who would play her. But the idea with the Gwen Stacy clone come on. It's a shame Garfield is out as Spider Man and we have to see the cycle of the Spider-man franchise yet again repeat itself. With Marvel buying back the rights to Spidey he is now in the same universe as The Avengers. Could we see the new Black Latino Spider Man we don't know but ones things for sure the franchise is a never ending web.
