WARNING: SPOILERS FOLLOW BELOW SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK


Good Evening fellow CBM family members. Lately it seems like we've all been having mixed ideas and feelings when it comes to the critical reception of Marc Webb's  The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Recently there's been loads of heavy rumors and actual proof that highlights several deleted scenes that sadly didn't make it into the film. In response to these rumors and photo leaks surrounding footage that may not have made it into the film a fan of Webb's Spider-Man franchise has respectfully created a petetion that reads...

To:
Sony Pictures and Director Marc Webb
Consider releasing a directors cut version of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" to the general public on blueray and DVD. Due to the films alarmingly poor reception, this would help people to enjoy the film more.

As fans of "The Amazing Spider-Man" franchise, who want this to be an economic success, we implore you to take this action.

Sincerely,
[Your name]





The rumored/confirmed cut scenes are listed as:
  • An attack on Oscorp by the Green Goblin
  • An alternate scene in which a tumultuous scene is portrayed differently
  • Extended Times Square and Clocktower scenes
  • Another Peter/Gwen scene.
  • A scene with Max and his Mother
  • A possible espionage plotline in regards to Oscorp.
  • Mary Jane scenes
  • Norman Osborn "Head Scene"

With the petition currently at 2,969/10,000 votes in just less than 11 days who's to say that the users here who are both compassionate and/or concerned about this franchise couldn't help it reach even more?

We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead.

It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.

A director cut would be great, but I don't know if it would do much to fix the inconsistent tone of the movie.

So is it safe to Say Norman MIGHT be coming back?

Damn, a directors cut could be up to around 3 hours (at least it appears that way based on what they cut from the film)! I'd be down for that.

I want the Avengers director's cut. But this will do.

MrBlackJack - 5/15/2014, 7:17 PM
@Marvel1997 Based on the theatrical cut, it doesn't appear that way. Based in what we know what cut, possibly. Based on Cooper's comments, he'll definitely be back.

I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Sure there were a couple of head scratcher scenes early on, but overall I thought it was great. Not perfect, but then again what film has to be perfect to be enjoyable?
XelCorp
XelCorp - 5/15/2014, 7:23 PM
@MrBlackJack- I really want him to come back. Why cast such a talented actor for such a small part? Hopefully he returns though

@Marvel1997 Cooper said TASM 2 leads into TASM 3, as well as saying he doesn't have a major role in 2 (I can vouch for that) but will in 3.

I think a dir. cut of the film would make it feel more rounded and more developed.

I was surprised as to how much screen time Harry got. He filmed his scenes relatively fast and people made it sound like it was another Eddie Brock situation (shows up only at the beginning and end while still trying to be a major character). But even though he showed up a good 15-20 minutes (maybe a little later), he was there consistently afterwards. Just wish he had some more time as Goblin.

Should of cut the whole movie.

take "Gone, Gone, Gone" out of there, too.

@EthanSmith well, if she is ultimately recasted (which I hope she's not), it would be weird to have two separate MJ's like that (even though it's a deleted scene).

It was a great movie I loved it and hated it too, lol. Mostly cause Andrew and Emma have such great chemistry together. Its gonna be tough to have a Maryjane or Felicia Hardy replace Gwen.

All the scenes with Peter and Gwen are great, Gwen death scene is one of the best scenes ever in comic book movies.

And Hans Zimmer's music is top notch like always!!!!!!!

I think they probably had a good reason to cut the OsCorp Green Goblin attack for thematic reasons. You would have undoubtedly seen all of GG in that attack scene making the appearance with Spidey lose it's weight and gravitas (seeing the horror of what happened to him).

I petition no more stupid petitions...The movie was hurt most by the editing, just like TASM1...not sure a director's cut would make a huge difference or not...
JamesMan
JamesMan - 5/15/2014, 7:43 PM
The MJ scenes I think would be pointless. It's just teasing a character (something I think the film did well) but I think Gwen Stacy should be the only main female focus. Adding MJ would take a lot away from GS' moments.

Haha Tucks! Haven't seen you around these parks lately. Just wondering what do you have to say about that Fantastic Four casting? Not much of a "fan-cast" as you thought, eh?
