the unavoidable explosion of every building in New York would have seemed out of place for Spider-Man.

Not to mention the fact that the movie came out less than a year after 9/11. Raimi already had to re-edit some things, imagine how much more might have needed to be done if Emmerich was in charge.

At least it's not what James Cameron wanted to do...
