I think the one big positive is that Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone’s real-world chemistry translated very well to the screen in a way that Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst didn’t really.
But other than that, the biggest flaw with the ASMs was that they took a character who is all about making moral decisions and lumbered him with a meta-structure that was all about Destiny and Being a Chosen One and “My Dead Family” (tm School of Movies). Also didn’t help that the films were rather overstuffed and overly convoluted.
