Has Your View on Spider-Man 3 Changed?

[DichEvans]

When Spider-Man 3 came out in 2007, it was nearly universally panned. People really did not get the "Bully Maguire" character,  and yes the movie has a few flaws thanks to Sony forcing Sam Raimi to add multiple villains.


But comparing it to all the new Superhero movies which are devoid of artistic flair and just seem like the same re-purposed movie, Spider-Man 3 is a very fun watch. Again, it does have its flaws and it can be cheesy at times (all Sam Raimi movies are). But honestly, just re-watching it, I had WAY more fun with Spider-Man 3 than anything Marvel has produced in the last half decade.


I also think more people get that 'Bully Maguire' is not supposed to actually be cool, he's Peter Parker's idea of cool, which is an emo passive aggressive  type, who loves noir.

I saw it before I saw the other two. Still don't think it's very good, but I dislike Amazing 2 and Homecoming a lot more than I do it, and I'm not really very fond of 1 or 2 themselves.

[tirtefaa]

I didn't like any Spiderman movies until Homecoming.

[Scoops]

The only Spiderman movie I love is the first Raimi one. Other than the Sandman being created scene, I still don't think 3 is good.

[The Ichi]

I like the whole Raimi trilogy though 3 is by far the weakest.

[mcmahonfan85]

it hasn't. i thought it was a big letdown then, and i still think it is a big letdown now

[WoodStoner1]

The memes redeemed it. Not much else though.

It's kinda like Street Fighter. Not great by any means, but the memes softened my dislike. That and SF is probably the best live action GI Joe movie.

(Remembers Cobra-La and the like...)

...maybe best Joe movie, period. Okay, second best. First best is the opening to the 1987 movie.

Shoot, Batman and Robin was redeemed a little when I could laugh at Arnold and such. That and, it isn't the Snyderverse.

I was never a huge fan of the Raimi trilogy in the first place, nothing has really changed on that front.

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

Nope, and my opinion of the first 2 has cratered in the years since their release as well. It was around 2008 I watched them one weekend and was like “wow, these movies don’t hold up at all”

I've always liked Spider-Man 3, and I still do. The Raimi Spider-Man trilogy is still the gold standard of live-action Spider-Man for me.

[The Legend of Groose]

I was disappointed in it when I saw it in theaters opening night as I LOVED the first two movies. Today I don't hate it as much and likely like it more than most do. Hell I don't think the emo Peter Parker stuff is that bad and him being an dorky douchebag was kind of entertaining. I will say Venom only getting like MAYBE a half hour of screen time is/was lame. That should have been your focus, not just thrown in last moment.

It's still a let down and is the weakest of the trilogy but I don't HATE the movie, it just didn't meet the hype.

Some say that crain is still falling to this day.

Same, it’s still my favorite spider man series

[darbus alan]

I've always had a soft spot for Superdick Peter.

Yeah it's the weakest of the trilogy, but I still liked it.

[Hit Girl]

Nah, still awful

[Ando9001]

It's still pretty average. I loved 1 and 2 but 3 is too much of a comedown. Even taking away the cringey stuff and excess villians as an ending to the trilogy it just doesn't work due to how much of downer it ends on. Amazing 2 i feel the same but at least it ended on a optimistic note. At least Tobey got to appear in NWH and get some closure on the series.

[KingPooper]

I know it’s faults but I’ve always enjoyed it.

I find it more enjoyable than spider-man 2 where he mopes aren’t 2/3 the movie with no powers. You can start that movie at the cafe and not lose much of anything.

On the other hand I just watched Phantom Menace the other day for the first time in forever and I think we judged the prequels to harshly, but who knew the sequel trilogy would be worse.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

Nope. All three Holland movies take a huge, steaming dump over it. As bad as they are, both Venom movies do, as well.

And the performances of Defoe and Molina notwithstanding, I don't much care for the other two Raimi movies either.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

It had moments. I thought Sandman was really well developed, I thought Peter vs The Symbiote and it slowly turning him was really well done

But the final act is rushed to hell, and Venom is tacked on as has been said to death. I'd love to see what Raimi could do with a new Spider-man film after No Way Home, though.

[Banjo Is Broken]

Spider-Man 3 will get its redemption when it fixes THIS DAMN DOOR!!

[Wolf Hawkfield no1 NZ poster]

Nope, still shite.
