THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Blu-Ray And DVD Special Features Officially Revealed
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 may be the most divisive superhero movie ever created. Obtaining a 53% score on Rotten Tomatoes, fans aswell as critics were split down the middle on whether they liked or disliked this recent Sony release. The Marc Webb directed feature just recently crossed $700 Million worldwide, making it the lowest grossing Spider-Man film yet... Yes, you read that right; $700 Million is now considered "low." Fans and critics of the film have demanding we receive a director's cut or extended cut for the film when it hits DVD and Blu-Ray shelves later this year, and while those demands have not been achieved, Sony has tried very hard.
Sony Pictures announced recently that the DVD and Blu-Ray set will include 13 deleted scenes including a scene called "Peter Meets His Father," which sounds, really, really intriguing. No word on what the other 8 scenes will be, but here's hoping one of them is the deleted post credit scene involving Chris Cooper's severed head. In addition to the deleted scenes, all scenes will have commentary from director Marc Webb, giving insight and reasonings behind why the scene was cut. The Blu-Ray release also features 8 featurettes taking Spidey-fans behind the scenes of the latest blockbuster including cast interviews, never before seen concept art and more. It has also been revealed that Dane DeHaan's screen test for Harry Osborn/The Green Goblin will also be included. You can download the film in the iTunes store on August 5th or you can purchase the DVD and Blu-Ray on August 15th.
With the recent news of The Amazing Spider-Man 3 possibly being pushed back, are you more excited to check rewatch this latest Spider-Man film or will you wait for 2016 to witness Drew Goddard's Sinister Six? Comment below and let us know!

Review: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 (IMAX 3D)
“What makes life so precious is that it comes to an end.” Marc Webb returns to the directing chair in this sequel to 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man. Starring Andrew Garfield as the spandex wearing Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn and Jamie Foxx as the sparkling Electro. Now I am a fan of The Amazing Spider-Man, I thought the film was good, not great, but it had a lot of potential with the sequel. Today, I am very pleased to say that director Marc Webb has returned to fantastic form with this second instalment returning to his glory days of (500) Days Of Summer. This review may contain spoilers, but I will write a complete paragraph at the bottom of the page, discussing spoilers so I will give warning on when the paragraph starts.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is simply dazzling. The 2-hour and 25 minute runtime is simply forgotten as you sit and watch this remarkable film. This is mostly because of the amazing performances throughout the entire film. Garfield returns as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and gives a really fantastic performance. Garfield is given a script that may not be the best, but he does a really good job at making some of the average scenes truly great. Stone also returns as Gwen Stacy. Gwen has a much bugger role in this film, and she does an amazing job. Stacy’s graduation speech was one of the best parts of the film. Oscar winner Jamie Foxx features in the film as Max Dillon/Electro. While his character arc is definitely the weakest part of the film, the comparisons to Batman Foreveris definitely not deserved. Like Garfield, Foxx does a great job at making average scenes/lines of dialogue great. One poor line that Foxx manages to make great is “I’m gonna destroy the light, so you can live in the darkness.” Dane DeHaan. Wow. Just let me begin by saying, throughout the entire film I was swinging on Harry Osborn’s side. DeHaan was simply fantastic, not only did he manage to completely knock James Franco’s Harry Osborn out of memory, but he also manages to become the best Green Goblin to ever appear on the big screen. To simply put it, the performances in this film make it a must watch alone.
The story for this film is what you expect from the trailers: Max Dillon is a loser, he becomes Electro, he hates Spider-Man, and he teams with Goblin to fight Spider-Man. But that’s not all. In this film we finally get the big mystery surrounding Peter’s parents from the first Amazing film. One of the major complaints that people had surrounding the ending to the previous film was that Peter ended up with Gwen despite promising her father he wouldn’t. However, within the opening 25 minutes director Marc Webb delivers a very (500) Days Of Summer type scene in which Gwen breaks up with Peter after saying she “Can’t do this forever.” I have heard complaints saying Peter Parker is immature in this film, but I simply cannot agree with this statement. I would say Peter is very conflicted, which is the exact same as the comic books. Peter is a kid. He does stupid things, but that’s where Spider-Man comes into the picture. The difference between Peter and Spider-Man is that Peter is conflicted and can’t make responsible or right decisions, while Spider-Man always makes the right decisions.
As I saw the film in IMAX 3D, I guess I should comment on the film’s 3D. To simply put it, it was breathtaking. The whole film looked like a comic book thrown onto the big screen. The bright colours, loud noises, I loved it all. One sequence that makes the film a must see in IMAX 3D is the first confrontation between Electro and Spider-Man in Times Square. Spider-Man’s swinging was also fantastic to watch. All and all, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a fantastic film. If you know the Spider-Man character, then you’ll have a soft spot for this film. Even if you ‘hate it’ there’ll always be a small part of you that really does love this film. From the performances to the stunning visual effects, Marc Webb delivers a film that will go down as one of the best superhero movies ever made.
***Spoilers Below***
Now for the spoilers, I’m giving you one more chance to turn back, Americans, you have one more chance, that’s all I’m giving you. I’ll do it, I’ll post the end all in caps, I’m gonna do it. I’m giving you just one more chance. Okay, I’m assuming you’re all gone. Good. Marc Webb does a terrific job at using foreshadowing to allude to the ending of the film. For instance, the opening shot of the film are the gears inside Richard Parker’s watch, while the location of Gwen’s death is at a clock tower, which, ironically, also has gears. On the topic of Gwen’s death, I thought it was done really well. That shot of her motionless body as it hit the ground sent a shiver down my spine and watching Peter’s reaction was truly tear jerking. I also loved the way the film explained how Spider-Man had been gone for 5 months following Gwen’s death, bringing a sense of realism to the Spider-Man character.

With its release date coming ever so quickly, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has easily become the must see movie of the summer. It is to no surprise that 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man was nowhere near as good as it really could have been, as both Marc Webb and Sony producers have said they should have done something a little more different. But alas, we have the much anticipated sequel, set to hit theatres everywhere on April 17th if you live in Australia and if you don't, sucked in.
Earlier this week IGN sat down with Andrew Garfield to discuss the film and how different it is to its' predecessor. Garfield touched on the original film's unoriginality by saying, "Obviously with the first film we were obligated to retreading the origin story, which Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire did so beautifully," Garfield continued, "But now that's done, and now we get to own the character as filmmakers and as Peter, you know what I mean? I'm super excited, I mean it was much more fun to make because of that, I think." Following these thoughts Garfield interestingly said something that every Spider-Man fan has been saying ever since Garfield's first outing, "Screw the critics... I mean screw the scrutiny and that's the motto of life aswell. If there was one bit of advise I could give to my younger self, it's 'don't care what others think of you'."
Mr Garfield also touched on Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) and Peter Parker's friendship in the film. Garfield said, "The bond is really deep. It goes deeper than being childhood friends. There is this intertwined thing that they have after they both lost their parents," The Golden Globe nominated actor continued, "Their relationship is really built on abandonment and this lack of a father figure is what leads to them having compassion and understanding for each other. It's a complicated relationship, but it's a grounded one."
You can check out the full interview in the video below. Andrew Garfield and his on and off screen love, Emma Stone, will appear on The Graham Norton Show on April 11th on BBC 1.

The Amazing Spiderman 2
While promoting The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise Of Electro in my homeland of Australia, stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone got to discuss teenage romance and the idea of stalking. Evident in the first film, Garfield's Peter Parker really loves Gwen Stacy, while his love for her may be deemed a little creepy (having her on his Sony desktop computer really doesn't help) it is evident that he really does love the girl. In the days of social networking and such, it is fairly common to be going on a 'Facebook stalk' and so I'm going to let this stalking thing slide, considering Spider-Man himself did in fact create Facebook with Lex Luthor.
Talking to Alison Stephenson of News.com.au, Garfield and Stone discussed the film in a rather light way, shining lights on the more intimate moments of the film. When asked how Andrew made Peter's stalking of Gwen seem so "charming," Garfield had to say, "I don't know if I did succeed - I think it may just be you that feels that way." When Garfield's real life girlfriend was asked the same question, Miss Stone replied with, "I don't think I should be validating stalkers, but I don't think he actually is stalking her, I think he's just trying to protect her."
Garfield was soon asked how he feels Peter views Gwen in this film, following their relationship in the first film. Garfield said, "Everything in his [Peter's] head is saying, 'you can't, you can't, you can't' but everything in your heart and body is going 'I know, I have no choice' but it is, it just has to be."

The Green Goblin Or David Bowie? New THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Image Released!
Today, Sony released a 'final' trailer for next month's The Amazing Spider-Man 2. But that final trailer has not stopped the marketing at all for this film. Revealed via YouTube's SevenWebHeads, a new photo of Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn/The Green Goblin has been released. Showing off the incomplete (?) costume and revealing a very devious smile. Now I have to say, am I the only one who thinks this Goblin has a striking resemblance to David Bowie? Come on, it's uncanny! Oh yeah, you know he looks like Bowie, even Marc Webb knows that, Dane DeHaan needs to play David Bowie. Get on it Hollywood.
The latest film in the Spider-Man saga stars: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Dane DeHaan, Jamie Foxx, Sally Field, Paul Giamatti and Colm Feore. The film is set for a April 17th release in Australia and New Zealand, while American's must wait until May 2nd.

HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD!
Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has become one of everyone's most anticipated films for 2014. Earlier today, a rumour was flying around surrounding the seven chambers found in the trailer for TASM 2. Thanks to YouTube user, SevenWebHeads, we have another character to perhaps include in The Amazing Spider-Man 3, anyone wanna take a guess on who that is? Well, according to him, one of the seven chambers found at Oscorp will in fact include, The Symbiote. Although this may have been pretty obvious, considering Sony have announced a Venom spin-off movie, and Alex Kurtzman (director of Venom) has revealed that the symbiote will indeed originate from Oscorp, much like The Ultimate comics. In the Ultimate Comics, The Symbiote was developed by Richard Parker and Edward Brock Snr as a cure for diseases like Cancer. Although Eddie Brock has not been confirmed to appear in TASM 2, you have to remember that Sony met with a ton of young upcoming actors for unspecified roles, some of these include Alden Ehrenreich and Douglas Booth.

However, I would take these comments with a grain of salt, do you guys and gals remember when Michael Bay discussed directing Transformers: Age Of Extinction? Marc Webb also confirmed that we would be seeing a certain someone become a major villain in this film, spoilers ahead. Webb revealed that Harry Osborn will indeed become The Green Goblin in this film, despite what many assumed to be a prototype. Webb said "Yeah. There will be some "creature of the night" popping up." The question still remains, what will Norman's Goblin look like, if this is indeed The Green Goblin? Ultimate Goblin anyone? |

As well as discussing Harry Osborn and the fourth film, The Daily Beast also got Webb to touch on the ever present 'Shailene Factor'. This problem came up back in August of last year when it was revealed that Shailene Woodley's role as Mary-Jane Watson was completely cut form the film. When trailers hit for the film, many fans (myself included) spotted a shot of Shailene, however the director does again confirm that she is not in the film. Webb said, "It was just Peter seeing Mary Jane once or twice next door. Shai was only there for a couple of days and it was a very minor part. But I love Shai. She was fantastic in "The Spectacular Now" which was a script I was attached to direct for a long to. She was really cool about it and understood it, and actually suggested it in some ways.
You can check out the full interview in the link above, Marc also discusses the usual comparison between Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 and his The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Plus Webb gives some advise to any young, aspiring directors.

According To Sony Pictures There Has Been “No Screenings” Of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2
Earlier today, according to a forum user, (I'm not going to say his name for privacy reasons, as I do believe people deserve some privacy) there was to be a special screening of Sony's latest film, The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Now for weeks, people (including myself) believed that there was to be a legitimate early screening of Marc Webb's highly anticipated sequel. Now thanks to YouTube user, and Spider-Man fanatic, SevenWebHeads, we have information that the user of the forums was in fact lying. Earlier today Seven posted a video on his YouTube channel, in which he contacted the head of editorials for Sony Pictures, and asked if there was in fact an early screening of the film in Ireland. The head of editorials replied to Seven and said "I have been told this information is false - there have been no screenings in Ireland to date." This is pretty funny, now if you're a Spider-Man fan, it is pretty hilarious that someone had to lie and say how great the film was, instead of, like you and I, waiting for the film to be released? You can check out Seven's video below, he's a great guy and he knows his stuff. So in order to recap: 1) there was no early screening and 2) do not listen to everything you hear on the internet, because most of the time, it's people talking out of their asses.

Sony Pictures International have just released a brand new 3-minute trailer for their latest summer blockbuster, The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The new trailer features a ton of new footage, and includes some cool new shots of Harry Osborn as The Goblin, be sure to check it out below! In other Spider-Man news, Beenox announced today that we will be getting a walkthrough gameplay video for the tie in video game. This video should be expected within the coming days.
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.
