I heard them call her Felicia but is she supposed to be Felicia Hardy? I didn't know that for sure.

Also, there just wasn't time in the movie to throw in the Goblin like they did. They clearly only did it because they wanted to kill Gwen and decided that Electro couldn't be the one to do that. It was definitely sad even though I knew it was 99.999999% going to happen in the movie. For sure knew she was dead once she was on her way to the airport. I feel like Peter telling her that he would come with her overseas (not that easy to get a visa Pete) basically told the audience she was going to die if they were unaware before. They jumped it five months in the epilogue and had him quit for a while so they didn't have to waste time on that in the next film.






I'll paste my thoughts here that I wrote shortly after seeing it,



I thought the movie was pretty weak in areas but it had some good things going for it. All the stuff with Peter and Gwen worked as well as the few emotional notes with Peter and his family. The action looks good and Spider-Man is being Spider-Man. He's fun and playful but does his job and it took me back to when I was a kid wishing I could web sling. I think all the stuff with Peter's parents was interesting and I'm sure we will get more of that.

Beyond that it's just confusing. The score especially is baffling at points and the plot hardly adds up. That "Goblin" is just terrible. No no no no no. I don't mind it being Harry and skipping Norman because then you don't have to look out for him having an affair with Gwen (j/K) but the character design was terrible. They had too many things where it was just "oh, we've already got that thing you might need over here so we don't have to waste time setting it up". They insert a computer voice to give exposition whenever they feel like it even though it make zero sense. It was lazy writing on the broad strokes of the story while they got all the small character driven stuff right. Not sure how that happens but I'm guessing a lot of it has to

Poor Gwen. I knew she was a goner for sure when she was going to leave for London, especially obvious when Peter says he will just go with her. Even though I knew it had to be coming the moment at the end where Peter fails to save Gwen hits hard. I guess that's why they give us Spider-kid to lift our spirits.


I will also say that the marketing on this movie is terrible. Those big posters with Goblin, Electro, and Rhino in time square should have been saved for the next movie. They turned people off fearing that the movie would be too crowded. Turns out it was a bit crowded, but not in the way we expected it to be. They should have just focused on Electro in the marketing and not promoted Goblin or Rhino. I was expecting the movie to be a lot worse that it was because of all that. I'm not saying I think it was a good movie but better than my expectation. I'll wait a bit to decide if I liked it enough to watch again.
