Marvels Spider-man
-We open with a self-narrated sequence showing Spideys origin, including the events of Civil War. This fades into the title sequence.
-Post title sequence a montage of Spidey fighting various bad guys begins. Mostly generic thugs, with maybe a few names like Boomerang thrown in for kicks and giggles. We follow him to school, just in time for his classes to begin.
-At school, we meet Peters circle of friends: Suave rich kid Harry Osborne, clumsy prankster Kenny Kong, gentle giant Randy Robertson and his Jr. Reporter girlfriends Glory Grant, and Petes shy rival intellect: Gwen Stacy. They all are, of course, bullied by Flash and co., including one Mary Jane Watson.
-After school, Pete and his friends hang out to study and discuss a coveted internship under Professor Otto Octavious, world-renowned radiation and robotics genius. Gwen has a police moniter her dad gave her to stay away from danger. Peter runs off when he overhears an alert.
-We meet Captain Stacy at the scene of the crime, a robbery at a mechanics werehouse. Spidey makes swift work of the thugs, but one, Herman Schultz, gets away with the loot.
-Peter goes home, we meet Aunt May. Shes worried about Peter putting himself n harms way for pictures.
-Herman Schultz evades the police as he retreats with the stolen tech to a shadowy hideout. Here we meet Mysterio, a flamboyant, narcissistic ex-actor with a scheme to become a top-paid mercenary overnight. Schultz goes to work incorporating the new tech into his bosss arsenal of gadgets.
-The next day, Peter delivers pictures of the previous fight to the Bugle. The staff there is introduced. J.J.J. is late to his club, and has no time to deal with Parker.
-We follow J.J.J. and Robbie to their exclusive club and meet the other members, including Captain Stacy and illustrious industrial C.E.O. Norman Osborne. They discuss Spider-man. JJ and Norman are against him, Robbie and Cpt. Stacy favor him. Norman points out that under the S.R.A., which he helps run, Spider-man is an outlaw. The Captain acknowledges this, and admits he may one day have to arrest Spidey, then changes the conversation to the new upstart rival to OsCorp, Kingsley Industries.
-At the High School, Glory announces she has reporting duties and cant compete in the groups bowling championship. Thankfully, Harry announces he has a new date who can fill the slot on their team.
-More domestic scenes between Peter and Aunt May. He admits his crush on Gwen, and May consoles him, encouraging him to be more outgoing, unlike his Dad, who waited around until someone (Petes Mom) finally asked him.
-On Bowling Night, Peters team is up against Flashs. Liz Kingsley-Allen, daughter of the founder of Kingsley Industries, arrives as Harrys date, immediately garnering the attention of the guys on Flashs team. They bowl, and the Geek Squad wins. They celebrate, MJ slaps Flash for staring at Liz, and Harry, having noticed Petes crush, gives him flirting tips. Liz reveals she got tickets for the whole team to attend her fathers upcoming speech at the university.
-Far away in a seedy part of town, Herman Schultz has an appointment with Silvermane, the new Kingpin. Mysterio makes a dramatic entry and full suit, but Silvermane is not impressed. He picks apart the entire act, BUT then states that most people arent as smart as me and agrees to write out a large contract for a series of impossible crimes.
-Peter and co. go to the university to hear Roderick Kingsley speak. He is introduced by Prof. Octavious. Liz gets bored by her Dads inspirational tropes, so she and Harry sneak off for a heart to heart talk. They discuss the Osbornes tragic history, with implications that the accidents that killed off the rest of the family were suspicious. Liz also reveals she knows Norman set the two of them up, but went along with it because she likes Harry. Meanwhile, Peter remains in the crowd, awkwardly trying to flirt with Gwen.
-Herman Schultz is also in attendance, carefully keeping track of time. At one certain moment, he and several other thugs put on masks and fog begins to fill the room. Mysterios attack begins.
-Peter changes to Spider-man, but falls prey to Mysterios illusions and is unable to stop him. He gets all the civilians to safety, including Gwen, whom he mistakenly calls by her first name. Mysterio and his gang gets away with their loot.
-Over the next week, Mysterio and his gang instill a reign of terror over the city, pulling off a series of impossible heists that leave countless citizens traumatized and afraid to step outside. This crime wave keeps both Captain Stacy and Peter very busy, and Aunt May very worried.
-For the first time, a civilian is killed during a job. Schultz shows remorse, but is mocked for it my Mysterio, who reiterates that you cant let anyone stand in your way if you want to be the best.
-Cpt. Stacy has imposed a strict curfew on Gwen to keep her off the streets, but she sneaks out to tag along on a double-date with Harry/Liz and Randy/Glory. It turns out that Randy and Glory arent there, but instead Peter is in their place. Things are very awkward and Pete makes a fool of himself until the alert comes on again and he runs off to take pictures.
-The previous scene is intercut with Captain Stacy, who is called upon to introduce The Club to its newest member: Roderick Kingsley. There is clear animosity between the upstart entrepreneur Kingsley and Norman, who took his inherited company to the top of the business. Kingsley clearly doesnt approve of their kids dating. When the alarm sounds, Cpt. Stacy has to run.
-Finally he makes it to one of the heists in time, he is unable to get to Mysterio, but manages to capture one of his goons, making off with some tech to study.
-Gwen attempts to sneak back into her home, only to be caught by her Dad, who scolds her. Keeping her safe is his number 1 job.
-Deep in Mysterios lair, he plans his biggest heist of all. A prototype machine at OsCorp could easily become a WMD in the wrong hands, and Silverman plans to sell it to one of his overseas terrorist clients. Again, Schultz expresses reluctance to go along, but is bullied into it by Mysterio and they begin planning
-Aunt May offers words of wisdom to Peter about his so-called social failings while he analyzes the tech, finally discovering the key to beating Mysterio.
-The night of The Big Job, Liz comes over to Oscorp for dinner with Harry and Norman. The aloof Norman awkwardly attempts to make small talk, only managing to be wildly inappropriate. His comments enrage Kingsley, who is listening in over a bug he planted on Liz. Things get worse when Norman starts prying Liz for industrial secrets. Kingsley, meanwhile, starts hacking OsCorp through the bug. (If you look closely, you can see some Goblin-esque schematics) All this comes to a jarring start when Mysterio raids Oscorp Tower.
-With the police busy as everything from a T-Rex to the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man terrorizes NYC, Mysterio and his gang easily take over the Tower, with Norman, Harry, and Liz as hostages. Harry falls apart under pressure, infuriating Norman. Mysterio and Shocker unlock the weapon, but Mysterio announces the plans have changed. He kills Silvermanes liaison in the gang and projects a giant version of himself above the Tower, detailing the weapons power and that he is now holding the entire city of New York at ransom.
-With the police surrounding Oscorp Tower and the governor and President on the phone, Spidey infiltrates the Tower in a Bond/Mission Impossible style sequence. He rescues Liz, the Osbornes, and the other hostages before using his new understanding of the tech to take out Mysterio, with a little help from Schultz, who sabotages both Mysterios suit and the bomb before running off into the night.
-Mysterio is arrested and life is back to normal for Peter, in fact, its better than ever! His pictures of the showdown with Mysterio fetch a high paycheck at the Bugle (Eddie Brock is mentioned), he lands the Octavious internship, and he gets up the nerve to ask Gwen out. On the way to her house, they bump into each other. He asks her out and she declares hes Spider-man simultaneously. They both say yes and smile as the movie closes.
-Post Credits Scene: Schultz is back in Silvermanes office. He won his way back into the gangsters good graces by building a series of suits for Silvermanes new project: The Enforcers. He asks to lead the squad, but is shot down. Theres a new player in town. Look out the window to the Hobgoblin perched outside on his glider, red eyes glowing in the dark.
