Sony Confirm That THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Is The First Of A Trilogy

Old news right?!?!

With th film currently sitting at 70%, when I last checked Rotten Tomatoes, not the best critical start, of course money earned is a different matter. I'm sure if GL had smashed box office records a sequel would have been made despite the film being poorly receieved.

I thought they would make more than 3 movies :/

Man, I really wanted to love The Amazing Spider-man. The trailers looked great, I loved the costumes and aesthetic of the movie, but the movie was just completely meh. There were some great action sequences (like the fight at the school), but overall the movie didn't justify the reboot. Yes I know Sony made the movie to retain the rights, but I wish they would have just started the movie with him already having his powers. So much of it was rehashed, and as for it being the "untold story." Much of it was recycled from Raimi's film. We never truly find out what happens to his parents, Peter never finds uncle Ben's killer, and towards the end the schitzo lizard was almost identical to the Green Goblin in terms of mannerisms. I'm too lazy to write a review of it but i would have to give it a 7/10. It had some charm to it, and it was beautifully acted, but the script was dull and the actors deserved better.

OF COURSE IT IS..

Hey they still might, but trying to plan that far ahead is simply asking for bad luck.

Each film should be able to stand on it's own, I don't want them holding back on any cool action scenes for future sequels. Some overarching plot points are fine, but other than that each film should be the best it can possible be.

Awesome, great choice. I agree with Nolan's way of making movies, don't make it Episodic. If you are going to do more than three, you need to go full force and do six like Star Wars (even though it was originally 3 and better as 3.)

Good but now there is really no chance of Avengers team up. hopefully wrong.

Yes thank you god! I can't believe some people hated this film.

So the trilogy will be built upon the disappearance of the Parkers? Good, good.

At least that means we'll see the biggest plot hole in the movie resolved in the future films.

@Kazaam

I haven't seen it.

why just a trilogy? again.

Cant these franchises move beyond just three movies?

Yes. This is indeed good news. Fingers crossed for a possible Venom storyline, based on the Ultimate comics. Some flashbacks of Richard Parker and Eddie Brock Sr. working on the Venom Suit could feature, as well as set up for Eddie Brock Jr./Venom. As for the main villain, I'm putting my money on Mysterio. No one else could've possibly popped in an out of Connors' cell like Quentin Beck.

better than the old ones. the last movie should have the sinister 6

SPOILERS
I didn't like it. They messed up Uncle Ben's death. He becomes Spiderman out of revenge and not guilt. Then he ONLY chases guys who match the killers description. Then he totally gives up on catching the killer!! WTF?

Garfield and Stone were fine but the plot was terrible.

I hope that I get to see a Marvel Spidey movie before I die. Just not another origin movie!

@consultant I just rewatched Spiderman 1 and they totally addressed Peters parents. It went like this:

Norman Osborn: Your parents must be very proud.
Peter Parker: I live with my Aunt and Uncle

Done!! Okay, let's get on with the movie!

@deadpool I think that the guilt over Uncle Bens death is a HUGE part of what makes him Spiderman. So he caught like six guys then suddenly remembered what Uncle Ben said?

I have no problem with anyone who liked this movie. Each to his own I guess.

@DarthDan: I lol'd

I will watch it until Gwen dies (thats going to be my last ASM movie then).

Oh and in the 3rd installment, how old is Garfield going to be by then? 34?

I think they'll kill Gwen off in the third one but, will that go down well with the general audience?

I still think they shouldn't kill her off. They can still bring in MJ and Harry.

This film was well done. I think people are still hungover on Raimi's franchise being rebooted.

I like this film, shxt was hot

lololololololol at all the haters. This movie was amazing. Dark Knight Rises will literally suck salty balls compared to this.

I really want to see a great Venom in this series...hell, even if it has to be the Ultimate Spider-Man origin. (That's why Edward Brock, Sr. is one of my best guesses as the true identity of the Man in the Shadow - or at least, I hope it is him.) More than Green Goblin, yes. I'd love to see Osborn, but more as a background villain. Bring the Parkers mystery, and, if possible, relate it with the Brocks...and the Symbiote.

Sure, it had broke a box office record for a Tuesday, but it was the weakest opening of any of the franchise they neglect to report. Raimi's original had a $39 mil opening and the subsequent sequels got bigger. While it may be successful, there hasn't been a fervor for it like that that accompanied Raimi's releases. From a financial standpoint, it will fell short compare to them especially with only a 2 week window before TDKR arrives.

One problem was that they tried to make this movie about spidermans origins and Peters which is way to much for one movie (something I had hoped would've been different from the other trilogy)

I would've been okay with this being a true origin story without that piece of shit lizard in it AT ALL maybe conners but not the lizard yet, Eddie Brock could've worked with conners too just to make him available already

This movie should've simply been Peter searching for info on his parents and just helping curt get an arm in the first half of the movie and in the second half after getting his powers ben gets killed the spider molester comes out looking for the killer. after he finds the killer and all that is said and done... (this might be a strecth but) spiderman comes out during the day and fights crime in the street with the police thing at the same time, I hated how badly this movie tried to be the dark knight.

And the after credits scene could've been the rat in conners lab sitting on the floor growing it's arm back with us just hearing... "It works" by conners

Then they could've taken time with the lizard and give him a full compelling story, like was I supposed to care when Captin Stacy died, he was in the movie for like 15 seconds lol


I'm done 7.5/10

The amazing spiderman is a fantastic movie! It knocks Raimi's spiderman 1 and spiderman 2 out of the park.
We finally got a peter parker that was inventive and a genius from the comics. (looking forward to the spidertracers) "with great power comes great responsiblity" wasn't said word for word but the gist of it was there.
We got a character who has a real abandonment issues and a person who is a social outcast. (wow just like comics) the chemistry between gwen and peter was fantastic. So looking forward to the trilogy.
