As comic book fan as a kid and a film critic now, I gave it a fair shake and did my best to avoid comparisons. In discussing "The Amazing Spider-Man," I wrote at length about the trappings of rebooting properties too early, the overt cash grab of studios looking to milk a popular brand or product, and the inherent rigidity of any possible reinterpretation of the classic Spider-Man character. That's four minutes and change of sarcastic perfection better than I can describe with words. Need a quick recap of proof as to how Raimi and company ultimately ruined a good thing? Check out the hilarious " honest trailer" from the folks over at Screen Junkies. A little under two years ago, when I reviewed the reboot of "The Amazing Spider-Man," which attempted to retell the origin of Marvel Comics' #1 star, the goal was to heal the Sam Raimi-inflicted wounds of 2007's awful "Spider-Man 3" and revive a sunken franchise.
