Something many fans didn't like about The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was that it reexamines Peter's origin but puts more focus on Richard and Mary Parker, Peter's parents, and giving them much more importance than they should have.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 starts off with the real back story of how Peter Parker's parents died. Then we fast forward to the day of Peter (Andrew Garfield) and Gwen Stacy's (Emma Stone) graduation from high school. As Spider-Man, Peter is off saving New Yorkers and nearly misses receiving his diploma.

Like all the Spider-Man films, including the Raimi trilogy, Amazing Spider-Man 2 is set in New York, but surprisingly this is the first one to be wholly filmed there (the others all feature scenes shot in Los Angeles and other cities).

When high school student Peter Parker is bitten by a radioactive spider, he is given sensational abilities that allow him to crawl up walls, just like a spider! But when tragedy strikes Peter's Uncle Ben, Peter vows to use those abilities for the good of all mankind as the Amazing Spider-Man!

The Amazing Spider-Man is a 2012 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man and sharing the title of the character's longest-running comic book series.

Andrew Garfield has said that 'the character wasn't the main priority' in his film series and he is absolutely right. the second film is trying too much to build a Cinematic Universe - the plot is thin and there are certain castings that we're made due to the popularity of the actor.

Sure enough, despite Woodley having filmed scenes as the character, Spidey's best-known love interest was nowhere to be seen when the film hit theaters the following year. Webb cited wanting to keep the focus on Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) and Gwen Stacy's (Emma Stone) relationship as the reason for MJ's absence.

Paul Giamatti, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The idea of Paul Giamatti as a supervillain has undeniable appeal, but his Rhino, who appears at the end of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 mostly to show that Peter Parker is going to continue fighting crime after the loss of his beloved Gwen Stacy, never gets to do much.

In The Amazing Spider Man 2, Harry Osborn says he's 19 but of course Peter can still be 18 which seems more plausible. In Spider-Man Homecoming, it's stated he's 15 and in Avengers Infinity War he will probably be 17.

New York City Here's just a small Marvel superheroes list covering the most important players. Where does Spider-Man live? Peter Parker's residence is 20 Ingram St. in Queens, a fake address in Forest Hills, but numerous places get the protection of Spider-Man in New York City.

New York Even though much of the actual film was shot in other cities, the story is set in New York, and it's here that you can experience the massive skyscrapers and striking skyline that provided the backdrop for Spider-Man's daring stunts.
