If anyone is wondering why there is a contingent of spidey fans who seem less than enthusiastic about these new amazing spiderman films, theres a reason why.
Go on youtube, and do a search for Captain America the winter soldier. Today they released a thirty min press conference the cast and crew held at a beverly hilton hotel. Right around the 18:00 mark, a reporter asks Kevin Feige about his influence on the spidey and wolverine films that belongs to other studios. Feige goes on to give a polite response, but pretty much saying his influence is limited and these studios are holding the characters hostage. (Although legally these other studios still have ownership). Anthony Mackie goes off the cuff and says "He (Kevin Feige) is too busy making better ****ing films", and that gets a nice laugh from the room. Even look at the cast and crew's faces when the topic is brought up, there basically rolling their eyes at the topic.
I think the heart and soul of spidey and the xmen no longer reside at Fox and Sony. In lamest terms, they have a nice cash cow and there gunna pump that cow for all she's worth. But to be fair I thought First class was good, and Days of future class looks promising.
But yea, once Fox and Sony is done pumping spidey and done pumping xmen there going to kill the franchise. Once the rights go back to disney/marvel, people will just be tired and ignore any spidey and wolverine films marvel/disney will try to make.
Amazing spiderman 2 has the fancy effects and sounds, but the soul of the character is pretty much gone ever since the studio hijacked spiderman 3.
Anyways, all just my opinion, if you enjoy these new spidey films more power to you, its your own movie going experience and your entitled to enjoy it however you like.
