I mean, I wanted a darker comic movie too and I wound up liking Daredevil. But Spider-Man to me has always been corny. I find it to be a charming aspect of his personality. He's not the right comic book character to make dark.
Not saying he can't be in a dark storyline or be in a situation with heavy themes (the fact he's a poor New Yorker with three jobs is pretty relatable to much of the country) but I don't think you can lose the sense of humor with Spidey like you can get away with to some extent with batman.
