Ranking the Series: The Spider-Man Franchise

May 19, 2014 by Gary Collinson

5. Spider-Man 3 (2007)

The final film in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man series ended on a rather lackluster note. While I don’t outright hate it like a lot of fans, there are definitely many flaws and it’s easily the weakest of the five films. For starters there’s just a little too much packed into the story and it doesn’t help that there are so many things here that feel completely forced. Adding in Gwen Stacy is not needed except to make Mary Jane jealous, Eddie Brock a.k.a. Venom is utterly pointless and Topher Grace gives one of the worst performances in a superhero film. Then they also change Uncle Ben’s killer just to have a link between the Sandman and Spider-Man. Tobey Maguire is still good as Peter Parker and the special effects are some of the best in the series but with so many unnecessary subplots and nonsense throughout this one have more to groan at than enjoy.
