    Sam Raimi Spider-man spent most of his time saving people from imminent harm and stopping armed robberies. He fought the CEO of a company that developed military technology who was killing people to hang onto his position of power and wealth. He then fought a mad scientist that spent the entire movie putting innocent people in danger, attacking Spider-man and ultimately risking the deaths of millions out of an obsession and the influence his technology had over him.

    Reading unproduced movie scripts can be pretty fun sometimes, as they reveal a lot about the nature of filmmaking. Like David Koepp’s first draft for Spider-Man 2 being mostly unused aside from a few lines, but also chunks of it eventually going into the Amazing Spider-Man movies

    One thing I enjoy about this site is that I have yet to see anyone try to proclaim that some old dogshit Marvel film from 1-2 decades ago like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 or any Fantastic Four movie is some secret masterpiece, because the person making said claim has a vendetta against the MCU.

    Today's a rather sad day as it's been 10 years since we lost the wonderful James Horner. He was the man behind the scores to Aliens, Star Trek II & III, The Amazing Spider-Man, Jumanji, Casper, Avatar, and so many more. As a fan of film, and film music, it's a shame we lost such a great talent.
