Gimme a break. The crane sequence doesnt even qualify if you were awake during the film.

Spoiler!

The Crane sequence is about the people of New York coming to the aid of Spider-Man. Could he have made it to Oscorp without them? Sure. Probably not as fast, and Marc Webb is quoted as saying that when he thought about how he would shoot it, he wanted it to be more realistic and use the pendulum swing. This was a way he could do both the more realistic swing, and have the city help out. If you look at Pete's earlier swinging in the movie, theres no way any intelligent person wouldve expected to see a Pro Webslinging sequence. Hell man, he even shows what a noob he is by MISSING the first crane he tried to swing from. The crane sequence was cool in my book. With the rookie status of Pete as Spider-Man, and the shape he was in, it was perfectly believable that he was not going to make it to Oscorp in time to stop Connors without those cranes.

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!

They were evacuating the city and yet not one construction worker abandoned his post to flee? In perfect circumstances that sort of coordination would be a herculean feat, in these circumstances it strains the suspension of disbelief. Even then, it would have been a little easier to swallow if when he missed the first crane, it wasn't C. Thomas Howell who is the one who saved him. It was just. too. much. The "city rallying behind Spider-man" angle was done better in the first movie.

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.

[Buck]

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.

Spoiler!

He was originally listed on imdb as Osborn, they've since taken that down and now he's simply "Man In The Shadows".

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 see. Has there been real talk of any deal to fold this new Spider-man franchise into the larger Marvel film universe?

I doubt if that will ever happen.

I don't see why not. Sony and Marvel make more money by cooperating. Seems simple enough, just depends on the dollar amount.

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)

I believe black panther (I've heard was in the making), falcon? something like that, antman, at least some of x-men, spiderman and fantastic four were in Avengers.

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.

Wasn't it reported around here that they actually had planned to put Oscorp Tower into the skyline in "Avengers", but didn't because the "Avengers" team had already computer-rendered the skyline by the time Sony and Disney agreed to it?

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.,.).
