The Writer of Elektra And Inspector Gadget Calls Spider-Man 'Cheesy'

Speaking to Coming Soon, Zak Penn, the man who gave us Last Action Hero, Elektra and the third X-Men movie, claims that, for all his comic book movie credits, the only hero he didn't want was Spider-Man. "Actually Spider-Man was one of the only ones I didn't want to do because I thought it was a little too cheesy." Again, that's the visionary who wrote the virtually unwatchable Elektra, which features a resurrected assassin who has OCD, crapping on two of the best superhero movies ever made (we'll ignore the studio-driven mess of the third). Glass house? Blackened pot? Willfully obtuse? I can't figure out which one best suits him. [Coming Soon]
