Marc Webb basicly confirmed that he just pulled a dick move by keeping the scene in there because he "loves to hear speculation".

He says the intent of the scene was simply to show that there were forces at work in the background that we didnt know about. He wouldnt say who the character was, and when asked if the character would have a role in the next film as the villain, he said no. When asked if the character would reappear again, he said that they would pursue it in some way.

He goes on to say that he likes the speculation and likes to hear people talk about who they think it is.

I dont think he even knows who it is. Its total bullshit that it was even left in the film.


His movie is completely different from what his trailers advertise. In the trailers, Peter seems to be on a singular mission, to find the truth about his parents. We hear Rajit Ratha (the indian dude that shut down Connors) say "Do you think what happened to you Peter, was an accident? Do you have any idea, what you really are?"

Connors says "If you want the truth about your parents Peter, come and get it."

Peter is heard saying something about being determined to find out what happened to his parents.

Mention is made by one of the characters that Peter is "part of a greater plan"

None of these scenes or lines are even in the film. Peter starts out trying to find out more about his father, and then that just gets sidetracked completely when Peter works out the decay rate algorithm. He never asks another question about his father, or anything regarding his parents.

This end sequence was likely tied in with what was supposed to be that "untold story" that the trailers are still advertising but since it all got cut out, it now makes absolutely no sense.

The fact that Marc Webb confirmed that the man in shadows isnt the main villain in the next film makes this scene pretty worthless. Thats usually what those little teaser spots are for, to show some pivotal thing about the next film. Instead, we get a throwaway actor who isnt named, and Rhys Ifans who isnt signed for another film. Its likely a scene with actors that wont even be in the next movie.

He's a character we probably wouldve given a shit about had the story been told right, but since it wasnt, nobody should really give a flyin feck about who this guy is.

Yeah, Marc Webb (the film's director) did a superb job of making a coherent movie, considering he had to entirely cut out the film's biggest plotline.

Agree. Funny thing is I kept expecting them to drop the "predisposed because of something his father did" bombshell the whole movie, to the point that I was shocked when they didn't. I think the last scene was basically them keeping that door open. If they decide to go a different route, how hard is it to write in some shadowy conspiracy to justify it?

So i just watched this with my son tonight was pleasantly surprised. I really liked it. Not on a Nolan Batman level, but it was more than ok for what it was.

I liked that it had a more serious tone than the Raimi movies and the action was more realistic with less CGI web swinging and crawling. Looked they they used practical live special effects whenever possible.

Just a few minor complaints......why does Spidey keep taking off his mask and revealing himself?? Whats the point of the secret identity of everyones always going to find out who he truly is?

They left some plots dangling......what happened to Peters parents? The search for Uncle Bens killer?? What happened to the Indian OSCORP baddie?? (and yes im aware they did some last minute editing, but still.....WTF?)


But overall, it was way better than i was lead to believe.
