I can't say I've read too much on these boards so pardon if this has already been asked but is there an after credits scene? I don't want to know what it is just if there is one to stick around for.

There is one midway through the credits.

Thanks!

Doc Ock wasn't really evil before his accident. After the accident, then he was evil. So technically Raimi got that right. The only thing he got wrong was Ock redeeming himself. Had Ock gone down with his machine that Spidey sabotaged then it would have been a tad better. But, it fit with the redemption theme. That's fine with me. I am also ok with no Billy or Martha as long as it serves the story well. I would have preferred to see them but it's fine if they don't serve the story.

In this version he is apparently more of an "emotionally tortured" character, so I guess it's good that he's a loner this time, though I would've preferred to have them as well. That would've served the theme of fathers/father figures they first seemed to take, but now reviews say that the movie doesn't even focus that much on the parents so I don't know...

I was just about to ask if Connors wife and son were in the movie. I think it would have been great if his son showed up at the final battle. Or better yet, in the scene where Spidey saves the kid from the car on the bridge, the kid could have ended up being Connors son. After he sees Pete saving him, he see what kind of a monster he has become. But o well, I guess the character still works without them.

 

[Drummerdude7]

Weren't Martha and Billy cast? I guess they never filmed the scenes?

Marc Webb Says He's "Not Sure" About Returning To Direct TASM 2

Well, it's a long ... People ask about the sequel and I'm like, "Well, you know, I don't know if I want to do that, but I love the process." I love Andrew and Emma. But it's like asking someone who has just given birth, "Do you want to get pregnant again?

Yikes, I'm not sure how I feel about this.

 

[Web face]

What? It's like getting pregnant right after giving birth. No! Screw that! Marc needs to come back to kill Gwen Stacy!

I think he's just playing it safe. In case the studio doesn't ask him back.

thats what im thinking...he probably deep down inside really wants to do a sequel...the money is too good and its a series that can make him even more popular

 

[Anno_Domini]

Hah!

The talk of Webb not coming back may be true after all.

Which sucks though...did Webb not sign anything to return or what?

 

[Art Damage]

I think what just makes me nervous about a sequel is that we've already heard about the Transfomers guys coming in to take care of the script and do some rewrites for it...and then when you lose a director that has a vision for the character it starts to get a little bit into murky water. I would hate a situation where this film is incredibly rich and detailed...yet Sony thinks it's not summer blockbuster enough so they popcorn it up way too much for the second installment.

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Geez...I haven't been in TASM section in a few weeks... I haven't seen any new clips, interviews or pictures. How the hell have I pulled that off so far?

You know what, I would somewhat want that.

No more establishing Spider-Man / Parker, less angst, and just a good ol' Spider-Man story of him wise cracking, hero vs. villain ass kickery, and good humor and drama and call it a awesome sequel.

Sorry, let's get a fun thril ride Spider-Man movie where he wants to be Spider-Man for a day for once on film and he's kicking some ass.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

Whedon said something very similar in the days leading up to the premiere. Its such an exhausting, emotional, stressful experience to make a movie of this scale - especially when it's your first big budget tentpole. Believe me, if the movie is a big success, Sony will do what it takes to get him back for the sequel. Including backing a smaller more personal project if thats what he wants.

And there's nothing wrong with that, but look at the Avengers. You can be loud, fun and not have to be so dumb about it like the Transfomers movies. I'm not the biggest fan of the Avengers but I totally see the difference in between that action movie at the script level and so far what the Transformers guys have worked on. Now they also wrote Star Trek, which was pretty good...but those dudes are the kings of loud, dumb silly fun...and that's not what I want Spider-Man to be.

Less angst? Sure...I guess if they go that way but I would hate for the sequel to have a completely different tone all together because they bring in new guys to work on a script and a new director.

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Don't leave Webb.

And can we move on from the Transformers writers thing already? You guys act like it's the only thing they have written.

I'm not saying kill the franchise with two ghetto robots and John Turturo I just want some darn fun and a Spidey established romaing around with a good story kicking butt and great villain stuff.

It's not like it's not open for debate, hiring those guys goes back to the notion of Sony originally hating the film because they don't see this one as being so commercially friendly as maybe they'd like. They also wrote the Mask of Zorro sequel which I completely disliked, but I do give them credit for Star Trek as I originally mentioned.

 

[Art Damage]

...and yes I hope Webb stays on!

I wouldn't look too much into him saying that, every director says that after they direct a big movie like this. It happens. It's CYA but also sometimes they really aren't sure if they want to come back...or just want more moneyt:

And yeah, they're not bad writers. Every writer has a stinker in there and writing wasn't the issue with Cowboys and Aliens. Matter of fact, they've got a movie coming out Friday that I really want to see, People Like Us, and they both wrote it and one of them directed it and it's getting great reviews so far so it's not like they can't do good work, as always, it depends on what your director wants from you

 

[cobrastatus]

This is Webb first blockbuster film, I hope he doesn't buckle under the pressure of it and decides to keep on with the sequels.

This.

Making big budget films is no walk in the park. I can't imagine what it's like for a guy whose only other film is a tiny romantic comedy. This must of been like a little kid going from a swing set to a NASA centrifuge. Even if he loves the character, I find it totally understanable if he's iffy on coming back - the stress of blockbuster movies just might not be his thing.

Hell, even Peter Jackson had no desire to do another big budget movie after Lord of the Rings. Over three years of working 20 hour days can get to you.

And as others said, the "shrug your shoulders and say "i dunno" is a stereotypical answer, he might not be allowed to say one way or another yet, they might still be in negotiations, etc.

Directors always say that about a sequel when their movie is just being released. See: Joss Whedon or Christopher Nolan. They do that because they haven't worked out their deals with the studio yet, and A.) don't know if they're being asked back yet, or B.) it's a good negotiation tactic for getting a raise.
