But honestly TASM 2 (or whatever it'll be called) sounds like a mess already. Introduce MJ, Harry, Norman, Electro, AND possibly Rhino in one movie? Really?
Dr. Connors/The Lizard better not be thrown to the side, because he was one of the (only) good characters in TASM.
Am I only one who could take no part of The Amazing Spider-Man seriously?
That was the point. If you were taking it seriously, you were doing it wrong!
Er, to expand upon that, it was meant to be a lighter tone than the previous movies, more flashy and fun, which as far as I'm concerned, was always what Spider-Man was about, and what made him so likeable in the first place. He wasn't always so serious like Batman, and wasn't always super-nice and heroic like Super Man. He had more personality, which I felt was better presented in the Amazing Spider-Man movie. So if you were expecting a dark, humanized drama like the Batman movies, you're gonna be disappointed, but personally, I'd never expect that out of a Spider-Man movie.
Don't worry, I wasn't taking it seriously. Nor was I expecting it to be anywhere near as dramatic as Barman. I was a little surprised it didn't even attempt to have a modicum of emotional gravity, which is a big departure from the original trilogy. While there's nothing inherently wrong with that, it means it's only good for some cheap laughs and not worth a second viewing; it doesn't have the staying power of, say, Spider-Man 2. All IMO of course.

The only thing that actually made me laugh (for the right reason) was the scene with Stan Lee's cameo.
Spider-Man shouldn't ever be taken down the dark and gritty route IMO; he's a campy superhero, period. Raimi's trilogy was the near-perfect realization of Spidey on the big screen.
TASM was just trying to follow Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, with little difference compared to SM 1.
