Underrated? Yes! Flawed? Yes!

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2020)

But deserving of all its hate? NO! Spider-Man 3 is directed by Sam Raimi, that guy who made two of the greatest horror comedies and two of the greatest superhero movies (Army of Darkness, The Evil Dead, The Evil Dead 2 etc.) this film is definitely flawed. But while it has its issues, this film should definitely not be considered as one of the worst films ever made! Toby Maguire's Spider-Man will never be topped, Tom Holland's is more of a comedic relief Spider-Man, whilst the Sam Raimi's Toby Maguire Spider-Man is a much darker and serious Spider-Man.
Sam Raimi has directed (what are considered) to be the greatest horror comedies of all time such as; The Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness and The Evil Dead, three of which I consider to be some of the greatest horror comedies of all time! So people definitely went into this film with high expectations considering that the first two Spider-Man films were considered by many critics and audiences to be two of the greatest superhero film efforts since Tim Burton's Batman films and others. And yes, it is disappointing if you go into it expecting the next big Batman Begins or whatever you're expecting it to be, but if you go into it expecting a flawed superhero masterpiece, you are in for a treat.
It is flawed yes, but what movie isn't? Even epics like Jurassic Park, Psycho, Vertigo, The Dark Knight, Blade Runner and many others have flaws, but the excuse for most reviewers is that "Sam Raimi is a great director" or "I went into this expecting the next big thing" just stop! I have watched this film and yes I do have to say there is one character who feels unnecessary and that is Topher Grace's Venom. If he was played by another actor it would've been far much more interesting, it's definitely not Sam Raimi's best but definitely not his worst work.
The story is about Peter Parker trying to leave his Spider-Man life and get into a bigger relationship with Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane Watson, except he sees something suspicious going on between her and James Franco's character, they get into a big fight and a lot of things happen. Eventually, Franco's character dies at the end which is one of the saddest deaths of the 21st century. Don't get me wrong, the first two are greater by a milestone, but Spider-Man 3 is underappreciated and it wasn't the big Spider-Man 2 people were expecting it to be, but it should be respected a bit more. To all those people reading the negative reviews, don't listen to other people, try it for yourself and then decide whether it's good or not.
Literally nobody could've directed the Spider-Man trilogy other than Sam Raimi, the guy owns tens of thousands of comics so he went into this trilogy knowing what he was doing, it has cheesy scenes, cheesy dialogue, action-packed scenes and sure, it could've been better, but, whatever. All and all it's still a great superhero cheesy action flick and I'm going to give Spider-Man 3 an 82%
