I just wish Disney would pay Sony to get the rights back to Marvel. I don't think I can take another Sony made Spider-Man film, even if I do enjoy Andrew Garfield's performance.

If Marvel got the rights back, he'd get superior solo films to the gooseberry fool being peddled out atm by Sony AND you'd get him in Avengers movie. How is that not better?

Im pretty happy with the current movie. Casting is great and they are pretty faithful to the comics. Story could do with beefing up a bit but cant much else Marvel would do. Spidey films always get a rough ride compared to other superheroes so don't why a change of rights would stop the moaning. Suppose extra Spidey (with him irritating the team to strawberry float) would be good.

They certainly weren't with the villains.

I don't get your reasoning that spidey films get a "rough ride" that even marvel couldn't fix either.

What I mean is people are always down on Spidey films, usually even before seeing them, so I don't see how changing of rights would change that. I would obviously prefer for Marvel to have them to begin with.

I'm not saying they have to look exactly like their comic book counterparts, but I'm 100% confident Marvel could have done Electro/GG a million times better than Sony's crappy effort and Marvel would have cast them better too. Dubstep Electro and Gommba Lizard were a joke. Look how well Marvel updated (MAJOR CAPT 2 SPOILERS) Zola in Capt 2, he could have been a ridiculous looking villain but I thought it was superb.

People are down on the Spidey films because Spidey 3 was a horrific mess, ASM #1 was a boring retread of everything we already know and thus there isn't going to be much hype for ASM2 (and also I suspect a lot of the fanbase would now prefer a marvel studios version). Yet when I went to see it there were kids there that were absolutely strawberry floating HYPED just because it's Spidey. Hence why you're "people are always down on spidey films", like they purposefully pick out the spidey films makes no sense.
