The worst thing for me is they're Frankenstein monster movies. Not unlike SM3 in that regard. TASM starts being about his dad disappearing, then that is dropped for a large portion and becomes about finding Ben's killer and becoming Spider-Man. Then it becomes about stopping the Lizard from turning the city into Lizards. 3 different movies that don't cleanly transition from one to the other. TASM2 similarly starts out about him breaking up with Gwen and Harry coming back, then about Electro being a bad rip off of BF Riddler, then it becomes about Harry suddenly dying of a disease it took his father like....40 more years to die of than Harry apparently is. Then Harry frees Electro and let's him fight Spider-Man with no assistance at all, then fights Spider-Man after he beats Electro (when a team-up would have clearly just ended in Spider-Man death). Then it's about sad Peter and the Sinister Six franchise building. Oh and his dad had a hidden subway base you needed coins he stored in a calculator to get into for no reason also. They're messes of movies. At least TASM is more or less 3 different movies cut into 3rds. TASM2 is like, 5 movies haphazardly assembled by a toddler
I agree, but also sad Peter coming to the cemetary all year long remains one of the best sequences in the history of the genre.
Pity the rest of the movie didn't match that.
