Paul Giamatti confirmed that the Rhino would return in the third film, but it is unknown if he would have had a major role. This would have been the first Spider-Man movie where a villain returns from a previous movie.The film was originally scheduled to be released on June 10, 2016, but Sony announced in summer 2014 that they had pushed the movie back to 2018 in order to release the Sinister Six movie, which was scheduled to premiere on November 11, 2016.Although, Webb claimed that he would still be a producer on any future sequels. On March 15th 2014, director Marc Webb confirmed that this would be his last film in the series.All production has been stopped for production on another Spider-Man reboot.Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn/Green Goblin.Chris Cooper as Norman Osborn/King Goblin.Paul Giamatti as Aleksei Sytsevich/ Rhino.Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man.I have to say this one more time: The Amazing Spiderman is amazing. And a sequel is pretty likely- stay for the post-credit (duh! almost all Marvel movies has this). For a two-hour movie, this movie does not fall short and does not feel long. Flash, played by Chris, gives me the feeling of a sequel where he will be featured in a bigger role- like Jacob in Twilight. Watch out for Stan Lee in a show-stopper scene. Much credits to Emma Stone, Sally Field, Martin Sheen and Rhys I, and director Marc Webb for taking the risk of rebooting this franchise. I enjoyed the scene where he first discovers of his special ability, particularly with the flipping of his skateboard. Andrew G performs magnificently as Peter Parker, to a certain extent, i felt him outshine Tobey M. The movie was light hearted, like watching The Captain America, with brilliant cast. His wish to regenerate his arm goes awry, leading him to produce a biological threat that forces Spiderman to a race to save the people in the city. The next half of the movie was gripping and fast-paced, with well angled shots to make you feel like swinging from building to building and climbing up towers- i watched it in 2D and i could still feel the height! This part of the movie focuses on the transformation of Dr Connors as the Lizard, the villain of this movie, who happens to be Peter's father's working partner. I got to know about Peter's father, which was not much explained in the previous trilogy and i don't exactly read the comics.Then there is his high school stories of his love.
The first half of the movie explores the dark side of Peter Parker's family history in a fairly comical manner. The movie is amazingly captured with great use of CGI.
And i finally understood the word 'amazing' in the title- because it is really, pretty amazing! It is not one of those movies with excessive ZOMG factor, for sure. In fact, i enjoyed the move thoroughly and felt very entertained. In all honesty, i was not compelled to watch the movie- may be it was the trailer or that thought of how far can a Spiderman movie be different than the one produced about a decade ago? How 'amazing' can it be, as its title suggests? After going against the odds, i came out from the movie very pleased. When i first saw the trailer of this movie last year, i thought- another Spiderman movie?, and again earlier this year- seriously, another Spiderman move?.
