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.

9. Whats the film about?
The film follows the lives of Arbor and Swifty, teenage boys growing up in an impoverished city in England. Arbor suffers from hyperactivity disorder, which often gets him into trouble even when it is not his intention. When the boys are suspended from school after a fight, they decide to earn money collecting and selling scrap metal. They quickly realize that stealing copper from telecom, railway, and power utilities proves quite lucrative. They sell their scrap to a local scrap dealer, Kitten.
Kitten owns a horse and competes in amateur harness racing. Kitten allows Swifty to work with the horse, once he realizes Swifty's surprisingly natural talent with horses. Kitten also lets the boys borrow the horse and a cart to collect scrap metal. Arbor is jealous of Kitten's kindness toward Swifty. Arbor decides to steal a piece of scrap from Kitten and sell it, along with some other scrap, to a dealer on the other side of town. The plan ends up backfiring, Arbor is refused at the other dealer and unsuccessfully makes a deal with some men who offer to sell the scrap for him. Kitten finds out and physically intimidates Arbor into stealing a specific piece of high voltage electric power transmission wire to make up for his loss. The boys are not fully aware of the dangers of high voltage wire, and when Swifty goes to cut the wire, he is electrocuted. Arbor is devastated and Kitten turns himself in.

Film sewede evaluations
One of the Sweded films i like was Titacic. I think that all the scene's they chose to act out and remake were some of the most important scene's in the movie. Titanic is a very old and successful movie, and also a very emotional journey. However in the swede they still manage to make it humourous with the drawing of Rose. Also, the music made the swede a lot more believeable too. Although they could use the important aspect of the film, like the boat, they still managed to film something that looked like a decking and also draw a picture of the boat and when the boat sank it made it very clear what had happened by the way they drew it out. This swede had 301 views.
The next film swede i thought was very succesful was 'Mean Girls'. Mean girls is a very popular chick flick, and this swede shows all the essential parts of the film that everyone would be familiar with in the movie. Although all the characters in mean girls are girls, this swede still works even though they use boys as the main characters and this is what gives the humourous side to it. All of the scenes are very familiar to the real film which makes it very realistic. This swede has 592 views.
The final swede i chose i liked was home alone. Even though it was not perfect, the scenes they chose were very good and they all made up what happens in the actual scene. When Kevin humiliates and hurts the robbers, it is very realistic and makes you laugh. This film is originally very sucessful and i think it was very funny. This had 8,151 views.
