Ep785: SPIDER-MAN 3 (2007) Round Table Review
Earth's Mightiest Critics cement our cinematic symbiosis with a retrospective review of Spider-Man 3!
Sam Raimi's 2007 blockbuster is notorious for being one of the worst superhero movies ever made--but does it deserve all that...venom?
Aided by clearer heads and the passage of time, Ian and Don & Will of the Cinephile Hissy Fit Podcast look back on a movie with too many villains, too many subplots, and too much emo jazz improv. It may also be, according to Ian after a recent re-watch, an imperfectly perfect capper to the Raimi trilogy!
This in-depth discussion runs the full spectrum of criticism--from mega-fan to mega-hater to middle-of-the-web moderate. We break down the history of the third (and rumored-at-the-time fourth) installment; address the "Gwen Stacy Problem"; and explore the alternate universes in which this movie fires on several more cylinders!
