I have to stand up and defend Webb somewhat here.
IMO, TASM is a good film. He was working on only his second film, having to tell the spidey origin again and give the film a different tone and feel. IMO, he did a really good job. Could the film have been better? Yeah. But this is like Singer with X1. Looking at X1 now, it sucks compared to X2. Singer himself said that X1 felt more like a prep film for X2.
Now, TASM2 on the other hand had different writers come in (Orci and Kurtzman. I'm starting to dislike these guys with ST:ITD and TASM2) and I'm sure Sony, who have been found interfering in the past with the spidey series, pushed for many things to be altered. Just see how different the tone TASM and TASM2 are to each other. Maybe this is all Webbs fault and he decided everything to go this way. But the track record of the writers and how Sony (Arad) interfere with the directors vision... Yeah. I think Webb proved in this that he could handle the action and in TASM he showed he could handle the drama.

Back on topic. DOFP is a great film. Delighted Singer has come back. This is his best film since X2. It makes me so sad at what X3 could have been
