10 Simple Fixes That Would Have Saved The Amazing Spider-Man 2
9. One Story At A Time
Speaking of Iron Man 2, few would argue that Ol Shellheads first sequel was one of Marvels poorer efforts, and the limited production period certainly wasnt the only reason. Iron Man 2 was actually pretty good until Nick Fury entered the picture to jarring effect, sending Tony Stark on a bizarre quest to discover a new element (zuh?) and sucking the fun, pace and momentum clean out of the movie. By then, of course, Marvels laudably ambitious Avengers Initiative was entering full swing and some world building was essential, but it was a shame that Iron Mans second outing was severely compromised in the process. Granted, The Avengers did kinda okayish and Iron Man 3 made amends, but it was disappointing nonetheless. It remains to be seen how Warner Bros. will fare with their DC plans, but they can hardly be blamed for wanting to bring together behemoths like Batman and Superman and give Wonder Woman a long-overdue cinematic bow these characters are all extremely well known and the Justice League could yet pan out nicely. As for Sony, its understandable that they want to get in on the shared universe act, but trying to spin Spideys web of enemies into a multi-picture plan and give the Sinister Six and Venom their own movies looks like a dubious prospect and a failure in waiting. TASM2s story certainly suffered from the emphasis placed on laying the foundations for Sonys unlikely master plan; it was unwise and ultimately costly.
I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
