Marc Webb directed The Amazing Spider-Man films starring Andrew Garfield, and although they weren't particularly well-received (the series has been yet again rebooted), Webb has told Collider that he's still proud of the two films.

"It's hard for me to think about it, in terms of regrets," he said. "There are so many things that I'm proud of. There was an ambition with the second movie, in particular. The idea that it's a superhero that can't save everybody is something that I'm really proud of. I'm really proud of the ambition of that because it's an important message, and I believe in that. I believe in what we were after. They're really, really difficult movies to make."

"They're complex in ways that people don't fully understand. They weren't disasters. But in terms of regrets, I don't think of it in those terms. I felt really, really fortunate to have that opportunity. That's a whole other long, in-depth conversation that I probably shouldn't have publicly. I loved everybody involved. I really did. I didn't have an adversarial relationship with the studio, at all. There were a lot of very smart people. These are just incredibly complicated movies to make. I am proud of them, in many ways, and I stand by them. I'm certainly not a victim, in that situation."

Would you have liked the Amazing Spider-Man films to have continued?
