Marc Webb is Proud of His AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Movies: "They Weren't Disasters"

After bursting on the scene with 500 Days of Summer, director Marc Webb was handed the keys to the kingdom on Sony's Spider-Man franchise. The result? Two Amazing Spider-Man films that didn't quite live up to expectations, and a scuttled franchise that reboots this year with Spider-Man: Homecoming, a co-production between Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios.

The director spoke with Collider and was asked about his biggest regret, and this was his response:

It’s hard for me to think about it, in terms of regrets. There are so many things that I’m proud of. There was an ambition with the second movie, in particular. The idea that it’s a superhero that can’t save everybody is something that I’m really proud of. I’m really proud of the ambition of that because it’s an important message, and I believe in that. I believe in what we were after. They’re really, really difficult movies to make. They’re complex in ways that people don’t fully understand. They weren’t disasters. But in terms of regrets, I don’t think of it in those terms. I felt really, really fortunate to have that opportunity. That’s a whole other long, in-depth conversation that I probably shouldn’t have publicly. I loved everybody involved. I really did. I didn’t have an adversarial relationship with the studio, at all. There were a lot of very smart people. These are just incredibly complicated movies to make. I am proud of them, in many ways, and I stand by them. I’m certainly not a victim, in that situation.

I think Webb managed to capture some pretty nice moments between stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone with his Spidey movies, but the scripts left a lot to be desired. It should always come down to the story first, and to me, it just didn't seem like Webb had good enough stories to work with on these movies.
