So does this movie make you reevaluate the first series? I mean do the Sam Rami/Toby McGuire versions seem different now?

Well, I always thought that the first film was a bit overrated and that the third film wasn't as bad as most people said it was. The Amazing Spider-Man does have it's work cut out to match, let alone exceed Spider-Man 2. It's inevitable that any reboot of a series is going to make you analyze the original series. Just look at Batman. I never thought into the original 4 was the be all end all in comic book films. Ehen the Nolan/Bale Batman films came out, with their darker versions, both in story and palette, you can tell which is the superior versions. If ASM can continue to build off of this one, it can easy outshine the original.
