From a certain standpoint, I get where the studio execs are coming from. After all, not only is filmmaking a business, but an export. Believe it or not, film is one of the United States' biggest exports. So essentially, they are creating, branding, and selling a product. And, contrary to certain opinions, being a product doesn't mean it can't be art, but being art doesn't mean it can't be fun.

The problem is the big wigs are often completely out of touch with reality, and such a non-discreet interference impairs the verisimilitude of a movie, and in the case of The Amazing Spiderman 2, that meant cramming so much in, that everything as a whole felt undercooked, while certain elements, such as some of Electro's earlier scenes and the entirety of Rhino's screen time, completely clashed with the vibe and style of the rest of the film.

Sadly, business men are destroying every aspect of our society. It's mostly because everything is all about profits and money, not the love and passion behind the projects. In the past, in the very distant past, films were written, produced, directed and acted by people who truly had a passion for the craft. Now, business men, who just buy out studios and patent rights, care less about the passion, and only the bottom dollar. Instead of looking what made such properties a hit, they tend to look at statistics, and graphs, to help make up their minds on how things should be done, instead of getting off their ass in their fancy offices and getting their hands dirty on the project itself so they can see what they are truly investing their money in.
