1) Death Of Gwen Stacy – The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Another franchise that failed to reignite is The Amazing Spider-Man series. After a so-so, if pointless, retelling of the origins story, TASM-2 could have been a breath of fresh air that ensured the future of Sony’s Spider-Man movies. Instead, they got so carried away with setting up future installments that they forget to make it work on its own.
The best thing about the Amazing films is definitely the terrific two leads, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, and their great chemistry. It isn’t surprising, then, that the film’s standout scene is a heart-wrenching movie version of the classic comics moment of Gwen Stacy’s death.
Despite the annoying relocation to a random clock tower instead of the George Washington Bridge, the scene is just as emotional as you would expect. A nice touch is Spidey’s webbing resembling a hand, just out of Gwen’s reach.
Just imagine, if the rest of the film was this good, we would be watching The Amazing Spider-Man 3 right now instead of Tom Holland’s version in Captain America: Civil War.
