Long before Sony screwed the Spider-Man franchise up so badly that they were left with no other choice than to go crawling to Marvel Studios for their help, there existed two great (and one pretty terrible) movies featuring the iconic Marvel superhero.
At the time, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movies set the benchmark for visual effects in the genre – the image of a photo realistic Spidey swinging through New York City in 2002 was like nothing that had ever been seen before – and showed pretty much everyone how comic book movies should be done. Sure, they had their issues (more humour would have been nice, while Spider-Man 3 was…well, Spider-Man 3), but it’s a series which deserves to be fondly remembered.
If you’re a fan of comic book movies, comic books or just movies in general, you’re probably aware of the various rumors in regards to Spider-Man 3.
What a shame that the growing pains of this system had to wreck Raimi's otherwise successful trilogy.
EB: The batinthesun YouTube channel has released the latest episode of its Super Power Beat Down series, which pits two iconic pop culture characters from different franchises together in a fight to the death. In this matchup Spider-Man takes on Darth Maul in a Marvel meets Star Wars showdown of epic proportions.
