Alongside classic Marvel movies like 1998’s Blade and 2000’s X-Men, Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man movie, as well as the two sequels that followed, were instrumental in ushering in the era of enormously successful comic book movies that followed. Not only did these movies serve as great popcorn entertainment, but were so well-written and crafted that they still stand out as the cream of the crop in the highly-saturated superhero genre today. Even Spider-Man 3, which was met with criticism upon its release largely for its bloated plot, is a lot better than people give it credit for. Despite the endless memes the movie has produced in the years since its initial release, Spider-Man 3 still has plenty of fantastic moments and interesting character dynamics at play.
