I agree with you on an action scene in the beginning. But, I don't think they should have villains in the beginning just for the sake of action. They should contribute to the plot in some ways, maybe be used in future installments, plots, or later in the story.One thing I don't understand is, if they want multiple villains, then use one up to start the film! Why does a villain have to be part of the plot? Open the movie with a throw down brawl on the streets of NY with Electro or Rhino trying to rob a bank. Have Spider-Man win and leave the villain webbed up. The coolness factor would be satisfied. Fans would be satisfied and the story could take its time developing after an action packed opening. It would eat a big part of the budget but it would also give many cool "trailer clip" sequences. I'm longing for a film that keeps some action from the heart of a film out of the trailers. SM3's budget featured four major brawls and one major rescue sequence. Move one of those brawls up front. The Lethal Weapon sequels opened in such a fashion. Blowing up a building or taking out a flame throwing armored man had nothing to do with the plot but was a great way to open. It defines character and provides free reign on action.
