Anyone wondering if Sam Raimi has seen The Amazing Spider-Man yet?
Feb. 18, 2013
When the keys to the Spider-Man kingdom were handed over to Marc Webb, did Sam Raimi make any plans to go see THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN? Um, not so much. This is what the director had to say when asked if he had the opportunity to check the flick out:
Well, I'm a big Marc Webb fan and a giant fan of Emma Stone. And of Andrew Garfield. I saw him on Broadway in "Death of a Salesman" -- it's just brilliant. And I love the producers of that movie because they are dear friends, and the writer. But, I haven't had the guts to go see the movie yet. Because I don't want to go to my girlfriend's wedding. I just can't bring myself to do it. I don't have the guts. But, I hear it's great. My wife even loved the picture and said it was a wonderful, excellently produced, beautifully acted, brilliantly written Spider-Man picture. She'd tell me the truth and that's what she said.
Quite the comparison. It's nice that he's so kind to those involved with the Webb franchise. When it comes down to it, it's not necessary for him to see it. If he doesn't want to, then so be it. I think if I were in that position and had gone to see the film, I would just be making notes in my head about the differences and what I would have done.
Raimi has just decided to give Webb a pat on the back, and wish him the best:
"I think I handed the torch to Marc and I hear that he ran with it and succeeded and made a brilliant picture. I'm happy for him and all the team. And I only wish him the best and I salute them because it's a tough job, too."

You're not missing anything, Sam
But there's a reason why nobody remembers ASM and it only came out 7 months ago.

Amazing SM was a fun movie
fuck him
There's still hope for Raimi....Maybe.
Oh, and i did enjoyed a lot the 1994-98 animated series, too! That it would be a really good cinematic version to be based on.
With regard to Raimi's Spider-man movies, I don't think any of the movies are great...more good / enjoyable...but credit the guy for getting so much right.

From Toby's Parker in the first two movies...to the very depressing tones set in part 2...to that scene in the first one when Goblin throws a pumpkin bomb and Parker catches the blast at point blank range...the way his mask is torn...all great stuff. Unfortunately, the standing the movies held for me were completely wrecked as a result of the third movie - I've heard that the inclusion of Venom (the main problem...though not the only problem with the movie) was not of his doing...but alas...the buck usually stops with the director...and so he gets the stick he gets on his version of Spider man. However, the more I think about the Amazing Spider-man, the more I realise how much I didn't like it – a level Raimi’s movies have so far not fallen too.
The Amazing Spider-Man is the closest interpretation of the comic books. I thought it was slightly better than the first Spider-Man, but not as good as Spider-Man 2. But the overall feel of the film as well as the characters and story were 1000x better than Raimi's visions.

I prefer The Amazing Spider-Man
Class Act
What a pile of turd... Marc Webb's Spidey sucked balls..
Raimi and Webb
The Amazing Spider-Man is really just Ultimate Spider-Man, they gave it the wrong name. Nothing about it captures the spirit of the Amazing Spiderman comics. Plus, its boring that every villain is a result of Oscorp. Such lazy writing.
