What a lot of people don't realize is that Sony HAD to make this movie--well, maybe not this particular movie. Spider-Man is a creation of Marvel Comics and Marvel is now property of Disney. If Sony doesn't do anything with the Spider-Man property (aka possibly their biggest franchise), it goes back to Disney who could do something with it or license it out to somebody else. There's going to be a new Spidey movie from Sony every few years whether you like it or not.
With that kind of pressure, things turned out a little better than expected.
