What is Happening to the 'Amazing Spider-Man' World?

I cannot believe this. Treated badly in a similar vein as Iron Man 2 and Quantum of Solace. Just when I thought things were going so well as, I for one, ENJOYED The Amazing Spider-Man 2 after my completion in the final History 102 exam at the start of this May! How can this anticipated Amazing Spider-Man sequel get unexpectedly mixed reviews when it was starting to prove to be more exciting than the 1st Amazing Spider-Man and FAR MORE SUPERIOR than Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3!? What's the big deal? Especially when its opening record of $91 million is deemed "disappointing"? I mean, a $700 million worldwide haul a "disappointment"? Sure it's waaaaaay behind the predecessors (Spider-Man: $821 million, Spider-Man 2: $783 million, Spider-Man 3: $890 million, The Amazing Spider-Man: $757 million)' worldwide grosses, but I thought it should be worth it for The Amazing Spider-Man 3-4 and the Venom/Sinister Six spin-offs to happen in the new few years. Let's see if the DVD/Blu-ray sales will make up for it by the time the Blu-ray 2D/3D pack comes out next month, whether it's still less the previous ASM's $757 million gross (including DVD/Blu-ray sales of over $90 million) or not. This would have gone better if The Amazing Spider-Man 2 wasn't having a tough competition with Neighbors, the 2014 Godzilla reboot, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and Maleficent at the May 2014 box office!
I thought Andrew Garfield is a MUCH BETTER SPIDER-MAN than Tobey Maguire! Just like Emma Stone is a far better choice at playing Gwen Stacy than Bryce Dallas Howard! As do Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn (to me, better than the James Franco counterpart with a JERK-like attitude and the anti-climatic New Goblin costume!) and Jamie Foxx as Electro (a better ASM villain than Rhys Ifans' Lizard)! Spider-Man in this movie acted a lot more like his comic book/animated TV character! He really makes me laugh at everything he says onscreen, especially in the beginning! Unlike Tobey's, Andrew Garfield brought some life into his character when dressed as Spider-Man in scenes like fixing the invention for the glasses kid! Everybody should know THIS is how Spider-Man should act no thanks to how he was handled in Spider-Man 3! If many people disliked how "forced" the plot was, maybe they should have thought about improving the written script without shoehorning anything that would have been developed a bit more. In fact, Paul Giamatti's Rhino character would have worked better as an Amazing Spider-Man 3 villain instead of just being in the end for no reason. But at least I get to see some closure with the missing Parker family going on an unknown mission prior to their deaths on an airplane! Plus, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with having 3 villains when the Rhino was only in like 4 mins, making Electro and Harry/Green Goblin as the major villains and thus have taken one step at a time to focus on any ONE Spider-Man villain! I don't understand how The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is completely disliked for everything it has compared to the Sam Raimi films? When people are the ones who won't shut up about things like the Green Goblin costume, Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane being so "forgettable," Tobey Maguire's lack of Spidey's sense of humor, as well as the majority of the infamous Spider-Man 3 (such as Sandman being Uncle Ben's killer, Tobey Maguire's EMBARRASSING performance, and Topher Grace's poorly-handled "Venom")! Know what might be better? The Sinister Six teaser ending credits should have ended with Gustav Fiers ("The Man in Shadows") finding what's left of... Norman Osborn (thought to be dead due to an illness) and told him it is "time to wake up"! We don't need a brief X-Men: DOFP Mystique clip playing midway through the credits when the X-Men movies (owned by Fox) have NOTHING to do with The Amazing Spider-Man! 'Cause then we'll know for sure that we ARE gonna see more of Chris Cooper as the original Green Goblin in the next film as he had promised!
To make things perfectly clear for the last and thousandth time,…. I WILL ALWAYS SEE THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN WORLD AS THE REAL DEAL! Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 1 and 2 were SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT SPIDER-MAN 3! Who cares if Spider-Man 3 had a huge opening of $151 million and having the title of the "#1 Movie of 2007" (its domestic gross was $336.5 million), "the most expensive movie ever" (the budget was $258 million), or "the highest-grossing Spider-Man movie of all time" due to its $890 million worldwide record!? We should PRETEND THAT SPIDER-MAN 3 NEVER HAPPENED despite Spider-Man 2 hinting Harry becoming the next Green Goblin! I wish people should be thankful that the Amazing Spider-Man movies have ERASED SPIDER-MAN 3 FROM OUR HEADS! It's Sony's fault that Spider-Man 3 is the "final chapter" when it was SO POORLY-EXECUTED and didn't quite end in a happy way! If Spider-Man 3 wasn't so bad the studio can't get agree with Sam Raimi on the Spider-Man 4 story, then none of this would have ever happened! The Amazing Spider-Man story just can't go incomplete without The Amazing Spider-Man 3 (out in 2018) and the villain-centric spin-offs to tie up the loose ends if this franchise fatigue is going to continue like this! If the next Amazing Spider-Man films were never made on time or not meeting the box office expectations, then everything that foreshadows the Sinister Six team in the 1st two was ALL FOR NOTHING! Oh, and how can we also have a proper Venom after the whole Topher Grace fiasco when Alex Kurtzman just had it all planned out to direct the new Venom spin-off movie? What's the point of rebooting the web-slinging hero blockbuster movie franchise if people instead ended up having EXTREMELY MIXED FEELINGS towards the Marc Webb-directed Spidey films? Perhaps Sony should have reconsidered letting the Spider-Man rights GO BACK TO MARVEL after Spider-Man 4 was shelved, instead of keeping them for the sake of a reboot!
