* In comparison to any Spider-Man film before it, this one is particular is filled to the brim with NarmCharm, whereas the previous film only raised the bar a touch. Why is the cheesiness full-frontal, here? Because, aside from the general change in tone, the movie's attempting to cram in far more comic elements in a manner truer to a ''comic book'' than being an artsy adaptation.

*The clock hits 1:21 when [spoiler:Gwen hits the ground dead, Amazing Spider-man 121 is the issue Gwen died in the comics[/spoiler]
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Spiderman did not kill her; she hit the ground, as he webbed her too late.


** [[spoiler:The clock tower also made a better setting for giving a reason why Peter had no other options besides using his web to catch Gwen and thus inadvertently killing her than the bridge would have been, better than the original scene in the comics even.]]

Irrelevant. Of course it\'s YMMV, this is a YMMV page.


* This movie basically does the exact opposite of the Rami trilogy. While in the old films, Peter and Mary Jane try to make their relationship work, but never can. In this film, Peter and Gwen keep trying to break up, for her safety, but they just can't stay apart. And, YMMV, but it comes off as a hell of a lot more adorable.

* If electro is some kind of all-powerful electricity sponge, the consequences would have been far greater than a mere mundane blackout. He should have absorbed the electricity of people's nervous systems as well, killing everyone in the city. [[RealityEnsues That would have been more realistic]]... [[AndThatsTerrible and terrible]].

* Peter's phone playing the Spider-Man theme might seem to be LeaningOnTheFourthWall, at first; but, considering what a huge fan base Spidey has In-Universe, it makes sense that somebody would have made the song as a tribute of some sort for him.

* Electro playing his own music during the final battle actually does serve a purpose: it demonstrates that he now has complete control over his powers, enough that he feels safe wasting them in some fun ways while toying with a spider.

* Catching Uncle Ben's killer was expected to be resolved in this movie, but the brilliance is it wouldn't have been good if it had. The reason is learning to let go of his petty vendetta and [[ComesGreatResponsibility use his powers responsibly]] was a large part of Peter's character development in the first movie, and having him go back to searching for him would have been a case of AesopAmnesia.

* I wondered why [[spoiler:the location of Gwen's death was moved from the Bridge.]] Then it hit me. It was probably done to avoid being suspiciously similar to [[spoiler:the climax of the first Sam Rami Spider-Man movie which adapted this scene partly. Non-comic fans would probably believe the film was copying that film's climax and this franchise has already been subject to many claims of being a cheap copy of Raimi's films.]]

That doesn\'t really explain why the design of the costume is so different.


** Or it could probably be modified with more durable clothing. After all, if you want to fight crime against people who shoot you or try to kill you, its common sense to have something more durable than spandex.
