Review
5 years since the last Spider-Man film,
Spider-Man 3, we see the Marc Webb reboot of the greatly enjoyed Sam Raimi
Spider-Man trilogy. So the big question: how does it differ from still such a reasonably fresh franchise (the first Spider-Man only releasing in 2002 (just 10 years ago) and remains at the forefront of thoughts of the majority. It will however be easier to appreciate
The Amazing Spider-Man considering how poorly received
Spider-Man 3 was.
