the last 20 minutes (spoilers)

Rating: 3/10 (26 April 2014)

So, the first 90 minutes were typical. I did continue to capture how angsty spidey seems in the comics. however...it was cliché after cliché...loosely connected plot point to loosely connected plot point.
that is until the last 20 minutes or so.
Harry shows up, figures out spidey is peter, steals Gwen away...peter catches up to save gwen, only he was (cliche) too late.
The cry scene by spiderman at the loss of gwen was really good, seriously moving. The subsequent drama surrounding spiderman giving up because of his guilt, the world going to crap, his Aunt verbally chastizes him for letting his self go...he mustards up the courage to try, re-enter spiderman!
Time and time again superhero movies are ruined by under appreciating the complexity of character.
Dear marvel....aka Disney, you wanna re-stoke the fires of superhero worship...give villains their own 1 hour movies to become villains. Let us know why they are the way they are so that the fight between our hero and our villain becomes a physical exchange of philosophies.
Then let the organic nature of life move superheroes and villains back and forth over the lines of what we view as good and just.
