Never said it was as cheesy as the past movies could be. Just that it is not "cheese-free". It's not. I really liked the movie, but there are some faults.
Spoiler!
Didn't ruin the movie or anything. Did cause my eyes to roll a bit. Liking a movie isn't an all or nothing proposition. |

I thought it was great. The crane scene could have been cut from the movie, but I guess they had to show the citizens being on Spidey's side somehow.

Lol I didn't even see you guys debating that crane scene. I guess I'm not the only one who thought it was a glaring mistake in a pretty good movie.

The end scene is definitely what people think it is.

That's a weird reveal, then. Guess it will be explained in the inevitable next entry.
Can someone give me a rundown of the current contract status with Spider-man and Sony? I know in the past there wasn't much chance of crossovers because Sony owned the rights, but I had heard at some point there was some kind of deal or expiration that was going to make it possible for Spidey to join the Avengers franchise or at least make a cameo here and there. Can someone save me from researching this? |

They have to make movies every so often or else they lose the rights. I don't know how long they have each time.

I guess it's a matter of how much MORE money Marvel will make by renting Spider-man for what would likely be a LOT of money for a small part. It would be awesome, though.

Same thing with X-Men, right? (With 20th Century Fox)

Underwhelming but decent.

At others have mentioned, yes Sony has to keep making these Mediorce Spidy flicks or else they will lose the rights. Same deal with X-Men and FOX, although the last reboot of that was excellent. The reason they ditched Raimi was over money. They couldnt come to terms and Spidey 3 cost a mint to make. So they started over with a cheap director, cast and lower budget. My guess is they went back to the origin story thing because it buys them time for a new trilogy or whatever. Doubtfull will will ever see a crossover of some sort because i seriously doubt Sony, FOX, Marvel and Disney could get along and split up the profits.

I'm pretty sure there have been Hollywood instances of two usually-competing studios teaming up to make a film. I know Touchstone and Amblin' went in on "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" together (and managed to get Mickey and his gang on screen with the Looney Tunes characters as well). Given the kind of payday an "Avengers"/"Spidey" team-up could bring, I can see the studios playing ball. Hell, if that idea is too big, they could probably just work Spidey into the storyline of one of the individual superhero movies (Iron Man, Hulk, a Black Widow/Hawkeye film, etc.,.). |
