9. Spider-Man
No matter how revolutionary Spider-Man or how brilliant Spider-Man 2 was, Ramis Spider-Man Trilogy will be remembered for the emo antics of the final instalment which halted Tobey Macguire's stint as Peter Parker. Thanks to the success of Nolans Batman, reboots soon became the fashion and no one was really surprised when it was announced that was the route Spider-Man was going to take. The Amazing Spider-Man tries hard, using (500) Days of Summers director Marc Webbs eye for young romance and Andrew Garfields young looks to create an angst ridden character piece, at least for the first half. The film ultimately falls down thanks to an unimaginative villain and bland final act, but its biggest weakness is in committing one the worst sin the first entry in a series can do; transparently setting up the sequels. The advertising campaign teased at telling The Untold Story, but the film ended up answering next to nothing, with most of the intriguing lines from the trailer absent in the final cut. Theres a fine line between hinting at a sequel (the Joker card in Batman Begins) and spending half the film setting up future instalments to the point where it weakens the film's quality; a line which Spider-Man leaps across. Its infuriating to know well have to probably see two more films to get anything close to answers and it may be better just to leave it now.
