10 More Perfect Scenes In God-Awful Movies
9. Spider-Man Returns - The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Rivalling Sami Raimi's third Spider-flick as the the most disappointing live-action outing for the iconic Web-slinger, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 definitely had a great movie hiding in there somewhere. It's just a shame it was consistently suffocated by dub-step-wielding villains and a detrimental obsession with sequel-baiting.
Now sure, the unquestionably agonising demise of Gwen Stacy still ranks right up there as one of the most heartbreaking and masterfully performed moments of superhero tragedy ever committed to screens. But that wasn't the only perfect occurrence to be found in this hugely disappointing one-time end to Andrew Garfield's time in the legendary suit.
After suffering that life-changing loss late on, an understandably devastated Peter Parker seemingly opts to bring an end to his web-slinging days. But in a moment that perfectly captures the heart and soul of this adored super-figure and the reason he continues to inspire and remain relevant all these years later, Spidey simply can't help but throw back on the mask when his city needs him most.
Motivated by his beloved's moving graduation speech, Spidey resumes his responsibility to the little guy in triumphant fashion, protecting a small child with his typical charm as he collides with the Rhino to bring the general dud to an end with one of the Spider-Man movie world's greatest closing shots.
