After watching The Amazing Spider Man, these were my first thoughts:
1) How did he sew such a kick-ass suit by himself?
2) I don't think Spider Man would be very popular with the city cleaners, with all the web that he is leaving all over the city. (And the web doesn't look easy to remove!)
3) Wasn't he shot in the leg? How did he get the bullet removed?
I should state that I wasn't specifically looking for loopholes, but these just came naturally to me (the first and third point). Overall, the movie was still quite all right, and comparable to the first movie by Tobey Maguire. The biggest question on most people's minds are "why remake Spider Man again?" so I took the liberty to do a bit of research on it.
It turned out that in 2010, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios wanted Spider Man 4 to focus on Peter Parker back in high school. And Tobey Maguire, who was 34 at that time and married with two kids, probably thought that he would not fit in anymore and hence rejected the role. Sam Raimi, the previous director, also quit after being unable to accept the new script and financial conditions (he supposedly requested for US$300 million but was only granted US$200 million). Thus, Sony and Marvel decided to simply refresh everything - new director, new story, and new cast.
