I agree. I could never stand Maguire or Dunst. Both are awful personalities.
Spider-Man 3 is underrated

same i enjoy ASM and had no idea the levels of hate for it. its no better than a movie that was a joke? one that makes me pretty darn comfortable and females run
ASM is definitely better. I'm convinced that the original Raimi films just get by on nostalgia, and ASM is unfairly treated because there is some sort of narrative about it being "unnecessary" (throw in some resentment that it isn't part of the MCU too).
I remember Spider-Man 1&2 being amazing. But a few days ago I watched Raimi's first and ASM back to back. ASM is a vastly superior film, and a vastly superior Spider-Man film.

As far as I'm concerned, the only good thing in SM3 is J Jonah Jameson's 3 minute skit where he is constantly interrupted trying to take his pills.
That's it.
That's it.
Yeah the original film hasn't aged well. The origin part was fine but it goes downhill once the Green Goblin comes up, just so corny, even for a superhero film.
SM3 is a clusterfuck but an enjoyable one.
I enjoyed watching 1 and 2, but 3 was just too ridiculous. I like Topher Grace, I think he is a great actor, but he should have never been Eddie Brock. Venom's appearance was too short, which is understandable considering how many villains they tried to cram together. It would've worked much better had they just had a glimpse of Venom at the end, without seeing the new host.
Plus, that emo Peter... That was just terribad. I can appreciate that they tried to make light of it (in a sort of comedic way), but they went past that into silly.
ASM was a very, very entertaining experience. I look forward to ASM 2. However, SM 1 and 2 are and will remain part of my blu-ray collection.

I disagree.
I remember looking at the trailers thinking "wow, why does this look like a cheap FMV from a PS1 game?"
Exactly.
Stone and Garfield are both far more attractive, charismatic and believable actors. Plus, they seem to have at least a modicum of chemistry with each other, as you'd expect being a couple. Dunst and Maguire actually looked bored by each other the whole time.
Garfield is as spon on with Parker as Hugh Jackman is to Wolverine. Stone as Wendy is pretty awesome -- I'm a little sad she is not Mary Jane though. Gwen was pretty big in Peter's life though, so I am not complaining too much.
Yeah their "relationship" is painful to watch in the 2nd movie. Shame Doctor Octopus didn't drop her off a building.

Also I didn't get why when Harry forced them to break up she didn't just tell him what was going on. He's Spider-Man, he can clearly handle it.
I cant make any sense out of the relationships in the Raimi movies

Well... ASM is better than SM1/3... But doesn't touch nor can hold a candle to SM2. SM2 is superior in every way. Best superhero flick to date.. well, TWS is a great contender for that title as well.

What is TWS?
And you really thought SM2 was that much better than the other two? It was an improvement for sure, but I wouldn't say it was next level shit. It was similar in quality to the first one, just with more money poured on it.
2 is fairly mediocre, 1 is pretty poor, 3 is just swill. IMO.

Agree to disagree I guess. And TWS = The Winter Soldier, sorry.

One of the few occasions I walked out of a movie. It was almost over but I couldn't take anymore of Kirsten Dunst.

All of those tobey maguire spiderman movies sucked. Nothing will ever need a reboot as much as spidey did.

all of the spiderman movies are shit in comparison to all the marvel studio movies and even worse than xmen.

Of course SM2 is not perfect or exempt of silliness (or truly great by general movie standards), but as far as superhero movies is concerned, it's some of the best we've gotten. It also benefits from a having bit of the director's voice in it.

You're dead wrong. Except for maybe Spider-Man 2's case.
Did you make this?
Looks guys, I know you aren't high on the new Spider-Man movies, but you need to take a moment, look in the mirror and ask yourselves if this is the path you really want to go down.
You're at a turning point here. I don't know if there's any going back from it. Just sayin'
Besides taking Spider-Man 1 and 3 into account, it's obvious 2 being good was a total fluke!

It really, really isn't. GAF hyperbole strikes again. At worst, it's a mediocre reboot with little in the way of new ideas. Garfield makes a good Spider-Man though, and there's lots of potential for future installments once they shake off the origin story dreariness.
It never, ever reaches even the highest low of SM3.

If feeling this way is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
This is how I feel as well, bonus points that I kinda look like Andrew Garfield
I was forced to watch SM3 multiple times a day working at blockbuster when they got Blu-Ray kiosks.I have probably seen it more times than anyone ever should and I will say this. Anything about the story and dark Peter was awful, but the actual actions scenes in SM3 were very well done. Long steady tracking shots with clear action. I wish more action movies were shot the way SM3 was.

He's a nervous teenager about to tell someone a massive secret. I don't see the problem with him acting like a nervous person.
At least he never read poetry at someone like a moron.
You are good people.
Yeah, his fights with Sandman are actually pretty great, and the tag team battle at the end has some neat stuff in it.
This was my favourite thing to come out of Spider-Man 3.
just to weigh in
SM 2>>>SM1>SM3>>ASM
i'll take an entertaining train wreck with some salvageable gold over a soulless husk that just gets by. nostalgia my butt
I've stuttered around girls before.
Raimi Spider-Man GAF would hate me in a movie :-(
Just chiming in to say I agree with this person.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Yeah, I'd agree with this. I enjoyed SM3 but it certainly has it's share of issues as a film. However, not near as many issues as ASM had for sure.
You've not seen Green Lantern then?
It was horrible, the lowest point in all the Spidey films for sure.

I liked it, its only issue was Venom, which should have been saved for the 4th film. Still was better than that steaming pile of shit ASM
I don't see how anyone enjoyed ASM. It looked like crap aesthetically and everything about it was so dry and boring. I had more fun watching paint dry

Let's do The Twist.
Should've had a scene with Peter forcing some random tenant girl to make him some cookies. Or cake. Or cooked an omelette. Or danced down the street.

I think it gets more hate than it deserves. Raimi did what he could. But it is nowhere near the levels of part 1 and 2. Not even close.
