How much work does a franchise have to do to redeem itself and win back an audience’s goodwill? That’s the question on our minds as we look at Mark Webb’s second crack at a rebooted Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. Can this film make up for the sins of its predecessor? Should it even try? And how much significance should we put in a raincoat, anyway? PLUS: a look back at a pre-code horror classic, The Island of Lost Souls, an early adaptation of H.G. Wells’s Island of Dr. Moreau, starring Charles Laughton as the not-so-good doctor. How much should we criticize a film from the ’30s for its sexism, and how much should we let slide? All this plus an early look at Terry Gilliam’s latest, The Zero Theorem!
