In David's case he was, in part, willing to face Goliath because the Philistine army was threatening to overrun Israel and rule them. Like David, Peter Parker is willing to stand toe-to-toe with a larger-than-life villain to save people in danger. Like the young David the movie's hero Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is really just a kid and comes off as cocky and full of himself. Or at least that's the way Hollywood tells it. But it begs the question: 'Does everyone know the story of David and Goliath?'ĭavid and Goliath is a perennial Hollywood theme and some might wonder how many times Hollywood can tell the story of the little guy facing incredible odds and, against all hope, surviving and winning the day.

The first words everyone hears as the closing credits roll following The Amazing Spider-Man 2 are from Kendrick Lamar: 'And everyone knows the story of David and Goliath.' These are also the opening words of Alisha Keys’ song 'It's On Again.' It seems the song is placed at the end of the movie in case the David and Goliath theme wasn't obvious.
