I'm not exactly a fan, I didn't like the first one at all, but I don't see what the problem is.

Why does The Hobbit and The Hunger Games get a free pass?


Because they have source material with a definite ending already written. Same thing with Harry Potter and Twilight. They're not making up their own stories, they're getting them from the 100s of pages of source material. 

Doesn't change the fact that all of them stretched the material into more movies than the number of books. The Hobbit is a single, 300 page book (don't remember the exact length) stretched into 3 annual films. The HP book was split into two and The Hunger Games is doing the same I think. So has Twilight. 

Better to have two or three 2 hour movies that have detail rather than a rushed movie all packed into one skipping over important scenes. 

True. 

I could say the same about this Spidey universe stuff. Better to flesh it out properly instead of making ~3 movies that leave you wanting more.


However, Sony is proving the don't have the best direction with Spiderman, like Fox is with X-men. Given I look forward to Spider-man 2. The first one (remake) wasn't the best, and infact are comparable to how horrible Hulk movies have been. (Which is sad, because Hulk was one of the best parts of Avengers)
