Spider-man 3 (2007)

Sony has a bad habit of trying to go too big too fast. I think if Sam Raimi made the film he wanted, then this could have been a beautiful ending and maybe even kept the story going. Behind-the-scenes decisions were made to use big characters rather than make a good story. Everyone loves venom but you can’t force characters in just because you think it’ll mean $$$. There are redeeming parts to the movie. This was just dragged down in the creative fight. The black suit spidey is still one of my favorite looks of all time. I can only recommend watching this if you are doing a marathon of Raimi's movies. Both for context and to complete the story.

0%-59% = just skip it, I find the positives and they don't exist here
