The filmmaker attributes this change to the “respect” that such movies later gained, “because filmmakers and writers and actors have really taken the characters seriously,” though it’s important to remember that without Raimi such respect may have never been gained.Ĭreating two sequels that performed on par with the original 2002 film, Raimi’s story over the course of three films exposed the raw, vulnerable underbelly of Spider-Man’s character, doing something that no other superhero film had done prior in making him a fallible hero. Now they’re not looked up as artworks, but they’re appreciated for the serious pulp material that they are”. Continuing, Raimi adds, “It was just the time period when people didn’t understand the great potential that all Stan Lee’s pantheon of characters had. “I couldn’t find a cinematographer that wanted to shoot a movie about a spider-man, I think they thought it would be silly or it would be mocked like a lot of the later Batman movies were mocked,” Raimi stated, making reference to 1997s Batman & Robin that has often been blamed for killing the superhero sub-genre.
