10 Overlooked Positives Of The Amazing Spider-Man Films

3. The Comedic Scenes Were Actually Funny

To comic book readers, Spider-Man is known for using quick wit constantly against his enemies. He winds them up, adding an extra layer of fun to the already-cool event of a big super-powered bust up. And The Amazing Spider-Man films succeeded in bringing this humorous tone to the cinema. The €œdon€™t dress like a car thief€ scene is arguably the best representation of the comedic side of Spider-Man that€™s ever been committed to screen. He€™s genuinely funny, and he€™s stopping the crook at the same time. It's simple but it's entertaining. Spidey dubbing Electro €˜Sparkles€™ in the second movie keeps this trend going, as well as serving to lampoon a villain that audiences were never going to love. With a few more lines like this, these films could have ended up being much more popular. Also, it€™d be remiss not to mention Stan Lee€™s movie-stealing cameo from The Amazing Spider-Man. This always raises a chuckle, and presents the most imaginative way €“ so far €“ that a filmmaker has squeezed the comic book creator into their movie.
