I may never know who he is, no more than you never know who your own husband or wife is. I realize that Peter Parker, there’s so much more to learn than I thought. But at this time, I find myself again, incredibly curious. And I didn’t know if that would happen at the end of this film. I wanna discover what happens, and the writing of it, and the directing of it.

Will he get back with Mary Jane Watson? What about his friend Harry? …And then I realized that I have to direct this movie because I’m so curious about it. And I have this great curiosity as to what will happen to him in his life. Some things I don’t know, I’m still figuring them out, but I really know who he is. “ As the first movie ended, I thought I really know this character, Peter Parker. In an interview with ChuckTheMovieGuy, Raimi said this: The film’s director, Sam Raimi, here like so much of his career, is throwing back to classic Hollywood with one hand and poking it in the eye with the other. It’s garish and saccharine even but shows simply how much of a change to Peter this really is. The whole thing is accompanied by 1969s Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head by BJ Thomas, which like the whole 60 minutes-in montage is so very on the nose. In a virginal white shirt, Peter is anew: He is finally paying attention in class, and actually pulling the grades that he is capable of. This montage is bringing you a punnet of grapes and flowers and reassuring you just how fine and refreshed Peter is now that he’s left his alter ego by the wayside. We open with these blinding oversaturated lights, as if Peter Parker has just woken up from a dream, or even a rebirth of sorts. What follows immediately after though is a montage so gooey – so in your face and wholesome that it’s simply bizarre. A once beloved hero, simply binned and discarded. As far as we and our protagonist know Spider-man is gone forever. We see him simply off the red and blue suit, tossing it in a nearby garbage can.
There’s a moment in 2004s Spider-Man 2 where Peter Parker, played here by Tobey Maguire, has decided to opt-out of being a superhero – reasoning that he doesn’t need to be Spider-Man anymore. A trifecta of films charting what a superhero picture should be, and laying down the often beat for beat repeated blueprint that current offerings rely on. But what we really don’t talk about enough, or heap the praise on that we should, is Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. Superhero movies have dominated our box office for the good part of the last decade now, with each month bringing us some fresh new hero or sequel.
