Where's that logic come from?

Saw Amazing Spiderman 2 and LOVED it. It's the type of superherop movie I've been wanting to see for awhile.
Sometimes in these superhero movies it feels like the filmakers are more interested in the human parts and leave the costume action for the money shots of the film, here it feels like the movie was about SPIDER-MAN, and feeling that Peter and Spider-Man are the same guy. Not here's a Peter Parker movie and he sometimes dresses up as Spider-Man when we need an action sequence.

Also I really liked how they made Spider-Man heroic here. He saves lives big and small, he actually tries to help Max and talk him down rather than swing in with punches right off the bat. He treats that kid with the wind turbine wonderfully. He tries to work at his relationship with Gwen, he wants to save his friend, ect. I got the feeling that his friends had more of the problem with him being Spiderman than Spiderman being the problem.

Electro was neat as hell. His background music was cool and it added a fun factor to his screen time. I reckoned it to thought balloons in comic, kind of what he's thinking while doing stuff and gives electric energy to his thoughts. I felt bad for him when he was human all the way up to him killing his first guy.

Felicia- God I hope we get Black Cat. It's a stretch, I don't hate MJ but I was rooting for Pete and Felicia to hook up back in the 90's cartoon. I good chunk of Spidey's problems would disappear if he hooked up with another superhero.

Gwen was ok. We had the theater to ourselves, so I didn't get to see any crowd reaction. My girlfriend was like '... ... did they just kill Gwen?' then when Gwen didn't wake up, ' That's bullshit'. They handled it well I thought. They set it up typical movie like, when the person comes to and makes a quip, but nope she stayed dead. Good for them.

Harry could have been handled a bit slower, but other wise alright. I still want to see THE Goblin costume with an actual Goblin Mask

One thing I really liked was the amount of villians. I know there's some rule there can only be so many characters to juggle, but I want to see a superhero movie with lots of villains popping up. Maybe a montage of the hero fighting his rogues gallery or something. And if they're setting up the Sinister Six...

All in all it felt like a Good Spider-Man movie. Lots of great effects. Great characters, Great action scenes. The pacing does slow down in places then picks back up.
It felt long, but they had to cram a lot of stuff into this thing, not only to tell it's own story, but to add to the first one and build up for the number 3. But very little felt wrong or out of place, however it does mean that some of the characters don't get time to develop as much.

They killed her, did the not?

Therefore, I proved my point.

Frankly, the movie should have ended with Peter at the tombstone at the very latest.

Movies are more expensive than comics, relying much more on mass appeal as comics are much more niché. Therefore doing something in comics doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna be done in a movie. And considering they're competing against Marvel studios, a behemoth mega hit who never kill of anyone of substance, I fail to see how you can physically not see how HUGE a move it was to kill off a major player we all adore in Amazing Spider-Man 2. Even if you don't like the character, the fact they did it and went through with it without turning it into an Agent Coulson or a Nick Fury should surely count for something.

But I did not want them to kill Gwen. Gwen is and always has been a superior character to MJ. Killing off Gwen in the comics was a bitch move back in the 60s and it is still bullshit to this very day. The only one who ever made up for Gwen dying was JMS when he brought her back in the form of a daughter. This was finally the chance someone had to make up for the cowardice Marvel did back then and they fumbled the ball and failed to not copy the motion.

Just watched Manhunter. Not a bad film at all. Definitely weird seeing somebody else play Hannibal Lector though. Honestly I think I liked it more than Silence of the Lambs. That's a bit unfair though since I haven't seen Silence of the Lambs in a long time.

The move itself is more important to me than necessarily the content, but the character was important. I'm just excited to see what this ends up shaking up, maybe we'll finally get a Marvel movie with actual tension and stakes.

Nah, the next Spider-Man movie will just be another set up movie for the one after it.

So like Winter Soldier was, then?

Hopefully if they ever introduce the symbiotes into the plot they do it slowly and set it up in a movie so it's not just crammed into one movie like Spider-Man 3. I love the movie but the stuff with Venom is pretty garbagey. It should've just been Peter dealing with the symbiote and Sandman (maybe Harry). Introduce Brock in that one and then in the fourth one (we're pretending so it's cool yo) introduce Venom.

But fuck Venom I want Carnage dammit!
