Is Spider-Man 3 actually bad? I ranked Sam Raimi's entire Spider-Man trilogy, Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004), and Spider-Man 3 (2007), and rewatched all three for the first time in a decade ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Here's why the first two are still masterpieces, why Spider-Man 3 gets way more hate than it deserves, and just how far ahead of their time these movies actually were.

We break down the class divide baked into every Raimi villain, why Sandman is the most sympathetic villain in the trilogy, the post-9/11 New York the first two films quietly capture, and why Spider-Man 3 is less a bad movie and more three good movies fighting for the same runtime.

Be honest, was it the amnesia plot, the extra Venom, or the jazz club dance number that broke Spider-Man 3 for you? Let me know below.
