Sony, did you learn ANYTHING from Spider-Man 3?!

Rating: 1/10 (22 June 2015)

Obviously not, because that's the impression I get from watching this cinematic abortion! Like I said before, I really don't think anyone cared about these movies. At least that's the way it seems to me. I'm really trying to understand the motive behind these reboot films, I've racked my brain trying to somewhat comprehend the reasoning as to why Sony decided to reboot the Spider-Man franchise. Keep in mind, that the Sam Raimi films brought in a lot of money for Sony studios, and while Spider-Man 3 was indeed panned by critics and fans alike, it was by no means a financial flop. Worldwide, it brought in a whopping Nine-hundred million dollars! In fact, both Sam Raimi and Sony studios were all-set to make a Spider-Man 4. However, Sony insisted that Spider-Man 4 would be done by the summer of 2011. Sam Raimi did not want to rush into making the film, and make the same mistake as Spider-Man 3. (Which wasn't his fault by the way!) So Sony scrapped Spider-Man 4, and began making the reboot film(s). That's one reason why, but it's not the only reason. Sony obviously saw the massive success and profits that Disney/Marvel studios was raking in with their Marvel cinematic universe, and decided to try the same thing with Spider-Man. I think everyone knows, that duplicating someone ELSE'S success, won't make YOU successful. The plot of this film, or should I say what little plot there is, isn't very good either. The films just jumps around from one thing to the next, and loses all focus on the story. The villains of the film lack charisma, and their motivations are paper thin. To sum it all up, "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" Don't feel like comic book movies. (at least not to me.) They feel like romance movies. I don't know about anyone else, but when I go see a movie with the name "Spider-Man" that's the last thing I want.
