Huffington Post:
"The Amazing Spider-Man" is director Marc Webb's second movie. This is not is not a statement on Webb -- whose first film was the almost universally loved "(500) Days of Summer" -- or "The Amazing Spider-Man," but more of an example of how quickly things can escalate in Hollywood. Though, Webb's ascent to franchise director didn't come without some problems -- well, three to be exact: the number of other Spider-Man movies released since 2002.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I don't think he has to worry about it being compared but then people can be hard on directors especially lately since there have been so many superhero movies made recently.
Can't. Wait. And Webb is just playing it on the cautious side right now but when he sees how big of a hit this movie will be...he'll direct another.
"Does it help that "Spider-Man 3" is almost universally despised"
Thats the internet buddy, not everyone.
I hope they bring in Venom and Carnage into the franchise eventually and give them a proper amount of time in a story on their own without other villains added. Venom was sort of just included near the end in Spider-Man 3 as if they just had to do it, but I don't think he meshed well with the Sandman and so on. Venom's eixstence should have just been hinted at at the end for a hopeful Spider-Man 4 back then.
Sam Raimi raises the bar of excellence with Spider-Man 2, a highly evolved sequel that brims with superb comedy, heartfelt characters, and dazzling visuals that nail the wall-crawler's universe in a fully respectable and exciting way.this movie won Best Picture 2004 , and won Best Popular Movie 2004. About HERO, I watched the whole animated spiderman series and tobey's acting was able to capture his style. Anyways if you are not happy go back to the comics fag. This is for people who actually appreciate tobey's work.
