I really disliked ASM but ASM 2 is shaping up to be a must-see at this point.

It has to be fake. Look how many times they use the same imagery throughout. If it's real, it's real lazy.

Electro is the main on-screen villain, plain and simple. Rhino is just a cameo and is stopped really early on in the film. Harry and Norman have an ongoing relationship throughout (plus Harry and Peter obvs). Norman at Oscorp (or someone) knows about Spidey/Peter and his father, and saw that his formula was successful. Norman is dying, either he or his son use the same formula and turn into GG at the very end.

Something like that. It *could* work given the villains have a common thread (Oscorp) rather than that sandman/venom clusterfuck.

Who knows, I'm hoping its good. The suit is just too good for them to screw it up.

I don't think this is much of a "juggle."

Rhino's going to be at the open. Goblin's going to be at the tail end.

This is still mostly Spidey vs. Electro.

A poster is not a plot synopsis :)

C'mon guys, SM3 wasn't bad just because of all the villains. There were several things that made it terrible.

This seems plausible. And then you add in the time for Aunt May and Gwen Stacy, sounds like a full two hours. I don't wish for the film to fail, I just want the film to fully realize it's potential. They have the suit, non-organic webbing, Gwen Stacy, Oscorp, all the tools to make a memorable film. Waiting to see how it turns out.

Agreed. Oh and don't forget the whole Richard Parker angle. There's going to be some reveal there, or a flashback to their death in the plane crash. (which Norman was probably responsible for, as he escaped with 'the formula')

Yeah, the problem with Spider-Man wasn't that it had three (really four) villains, it's that it had four villains with four separate subplots. Conversely, the villains in ASM2 sound like they're all (however tenuously) tied together.

I honestly would not be surprised if they dropped that entire thing. I think they had a chance to explore it in the first film but now it's just going to look like a tacked on plot from the first film, which it is.

It's in the film most likely. I think some guy from the Office was casted to play a young Richard Parker. They probably should have just dropped it.

Yeah, possibly something related to the FBI and him being undercover working at Oscorp. Then hiding the formula in peter's genes before escaping, only to have their plane crash.

The only interesting part of Richard is how it ties into Norman/Oscorp and Spidey's origins not being *completely* accidental. Otherwise it's pointless.

They may have dropped it just as they did with MJ, but I somehow doubt it.

Doubt it. The script for a spin-off Venom movie (unrelated to Webb, I thought) is still in the works iirc.

That's been in the works for years, though, never mind the fact that it doesn't really affect whether or not he'd appear in a mainline Spidey movie (see: SM3).

The crane scene made TASM go from really good to sappy and mediocre.

Webb has the right angle on Spidey but the script was crappy. Spider Man was agile and acrobatic. The attack in the school was great. Garfield is an endearing Peter Parker and Emma Stone is hot as usual.

Aunt May is Sally Field for crying out loud. Sally Field!!

That certainly didn't come through in the wildly mediocre ASM.

But I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt. I'm interested in seeing what he does when not burdened with the arduous task of retelling Spider-man's origin.
