Gwen Stacy is a character that has seen little attention in any other Spider-Man screen incarnation (apart from a minor appearance from Bryce Dallas Howard in Spider-Man 3) and yet, though she is an integral character in the Spider-Man backstory, the films have taken the confident step of holding Mary Jane Watson back as love interest and focusing on Gwen for two films now, of course leading to her fate here, which is every bit as emotional as one expects it to be.

With this, the Amazing Spider-Man series has taken a huge gamble and fired off a bunch of story arcs that are clearly intended to see fruition over successive films. Not to mention have yet to be introduced to Mary Jane Watson. This is far more than that, where the filmmakers have taken the major aspects and characters of the Spider-Man mythos and staggered them out into a vast saga that is clearly intended to run to multiple films – I mean, we are two films in and haven’t even arrived at Peter Parker working for the Daily Bugle or met Jonah Jameson yet (although we do see an email addressed from him here). With The Avengers, we had Marvel layering hints and clues throughout preceding films leading up to that point but each film was largely its own story entity. What astonishes about The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the way the entire Spider-Man backhistory has been set up to fall into place over successive films. It both builds on what went before and compensates for some of the weaknesses of the previous film to work much more satisfyingly. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 immediately kicks in in ways that make you go wow. Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) and Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) in a tender moment Both Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone made a winning pairing on screen. Webb, by contrast, darkened that vision, took the story down to a level of realist action and psychological motivation that made his Spider-Man series work with a far greater degree of complexity than we had seen before. For Raimi, Peter Parker was a winsome boy scout who existed in a world of black-and-whites. The Amazing Spider-Man did a number of things particularly well in ways that (when combined with The Amazing Spider-Man 2) makes Marc Webb’s interpretation of the character preferable to Sam Raimi’s. This in turn had been a reboot of the earlier trilogy of Spider-Man films that had come out amongst the Marvel Comics cinematic renaissance with Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Spider-Man 3 (2007) under director Sam Raimi and starring Tobey Maguire in the title role. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and features return appearances from director Marc Webb and cast members Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Sally Field.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is another entry amid the massively popular series of Marvel Comics adaptations on the big screen in the 2000s and 2010s. Harry then injects himself with a concentrate of the spider venom – only to emerge as a hideous green-skinned goblin creature. Having discovered his father’s secret lab and realised that the spider venom was keyed to his DNA by his father, Peter refuses. Realising that Spider-Man’s powers came from the Oscorp mutant animals, Harry begs Spider-Man (not realising it is his best friend) for a transfusion of blood to save him. At the same time, Peter’s best friend Harry Osborn inherits control of Oscorp after the death of his father. As Spider-Man, Peter confronts Dillon as his electrical powers go amok in Times Square. Meanwhile, Max Dillon, a nerdish electrician at Oscorp, falls into a tank of electric eels and emerges with the power to manipulate and control electricity. Despite this, the two of them renew their affection for one another. Peter is still very much in love with Gwen Stacy but is mindful of his oath to her father to stay away from her. Peter Parker continues to fight crime as Spider-Man, apprehending the brutish Alexei Systevich as he rampages through the streets in a stolen truck of radioactive vials.
