i just found out for sure, marc will not be coming back for another spidey movie. They're bringing in uwe boll, and basing the next film off the 70's live action show.

When I read the first part...my heart sank. -_-

You got me. haha
 
the fact that they NEEDED to fill in the audience as to what happened in the previous movies should tell exactly why this ISN'T a self contained film.

No it is because it is building on ideas introduced in previous films BUT it explains it all so that you don't need to have seen them to enjoy them one at a time. Under The Red Hood is a perfect example. I don't know **** about Batman or DC comics in general beyond the films (the continuity is too confusing for me to get into) but that movie works just fine as a stand alone. It puts you right in the middle of a superhero world, but the characters go through an arc and everything is left clean, open but clean.

Amazing Spider-Man this isn't the case, everything is just left open. You need to accept that just because a movie was entertaining doesn't mean it was a clean solid piece. It was very unmemorable and forget able, the only really memorable part was Peter and Captain Stacy for me, because that was the only fully resolved arc and it was really powerful to see Peter reveal himself like that.

Im not saying it was a bad movie by any stretch, Im just saying they make close to what they could have done.

You are forgetting one other resolved story arc... Peter finally bringing home the organic eggs to Aunt May!
 
Having some bait is far different than leaving opened plots that could be dealt with in the first film. There's no way Harry could have done anything to Spidey in the first film, and there's no way Batman was going to find Joker in Batman Begins, but TAS-M left out too many plots open that it will feel like a waste if there isn't a sequel, or a satisfying one without Webb being involved.
Congratulations, you're slowing starting to understand what a trilogy is. Not everything is resolved in the first film. And Marc Webb doesn't need to return (although I hope that he does), remember, Harry Potter has multiple directors on his films. All of them using the same sequel baiting methods and working on one connected story--no waste and satisfying to most. I don't know why this is so hard for you to comprehend.

I thought about the Harry Potter comparison before in terms of changing directors analogy but decided the Spidey reboot series and HP series are too different to be applicable. Main reason being that Potter had an exact roadmap to follow in Rowling's books. Though TAS is about a beloved and well-known character, the story and slant of the new series is very much the interpretation and creation of the new filmmakers. Don't know, seems to me that if they brought in the same directors to direct TAS sequels who took turns directing the Potter franchise, it would work out far less successfully.
 
Perhaps, but we have no control over it, a new director may be imminent.
 
Even if Marc Webb doesn't return, he isn't the one writing the script.

Things this movie dropped 60 minutes in;

- Irrfran Khan
- Uncle Ben's killer
- parent's deaths

Sequel bait he says!

If only Nolan had done that in BB. Crane goes away halfway into the movie, Joe Chill escapes court and they never mention him again, and Bruce suddenly stops caring about his parent's murders because he discovers the villain's plot.
 
Oy...no one seems to understand the concept of a trilogy. I give up.
 
Name another movie that completely drops a villain (Khan) and two main plot arcs of the main character's progression (parents and Ben's killer) halfway through a movie.

When you name that movie, then you can give up.
 
While they drop the story about the parents halfway through the movie, I'm still glad to know that this will be resolved at some point in the sequels. The post-credits scene pretty much confirmed that.

I don't really like that they dropped the story arc about Peter finding his uncle Ben's killer, unless they have bigger plans for that in the future.
 
The Webbster said the parents thing would span the whole trilogy, so I never had much of a problem with it.

Uncle Ben's killer not getting caught might be an effort to "Joe Chill" the character a bit.

As for Ratha...Well, we know his big scene was cut, and we know whyyyyy....
 
Joe Chill died in front of Bruce...thus completing that arc for Bruce and allowing him to grow as a character. So they didn't 'Joe Chill' anything in this movie.

Ratha's scene was cut...thus making the movie worse because he literally disappears with no mention. Just because it's a deleted scene on the dvd does not make the movie better and it isn't an excuse either.
