Sam Raimi Finally Saw ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ – What Did He Think?

When The Amazing Spider-Man came out last year, many people were asking the director of the first 3 installments of Spider-Man, Sam Raimi, what he thought. He refused to see it. He equated it to going to your girlfriend's wedding. Well, he finally saw it. Find out what he thought about it!

From Inquisitr:

“It was very hard for me to see the new Spider-Man movie, I felt so attached to it, I couldn’t see Spider-Man with another director; it’s like my love, and I didn’t want to walk in on my love with someone else,” Raimi explained of his initial resistance to seeing the film. “It was just like that. Then I got over myself last week and said, ‘just see the damn thing’. And I did, and I loved it. I actually felt free.”

 

Strangely enough, seeing The Amazing Spider-Man didn’t re-open old wounds or cause any sort of ugly jealousy or negative animus toward Marc Webb’s take on the iconic character.

“I thought, ‘why am I carrying around this baggage?’ Of course the next Spider-Man story should be told, and [Marc Webb] did a wonderful job telling that,” Raimi reasoned. “I loved the movie, and I’m looking forward like a fan to the next installment. I love the comic book, and now I don’t feel bound, and I’m really glad somebody’s remaking it again.”

 

So there ya go! He loved it! What did you think of the reboot? And are you going to see the second one?
