Re: Spider-Man 3
Sam Raimi admits he messed up with SPIDER-MAN 3 (and OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL) on the Nerdist Podcast.

Sam Raimi: It’s a movie that just didn’t work very well. I tried to make it work, but I didn’t really believe in all the characters, so that couldn’t be hidden from people who loved Spider-Man. If the director doesn’t love something, it’s wrong of them to make it when so many other people love it. I think [raising the stakes after SPIDER-MAN 2] was the thinking going into it, and I think that’s what doomed us. I should’ve just stuck with the characters and the relationships and progressed them to the next step and not tried to top the bar …
Sam Raimi: [But] directors don’t like to talk about their bad films.
Chris Hardwick: I don’t think that ‘bad’ is the right word.
Sam Raimi: Awful!
I actually liked Oz, but Spiderman 3 was a terrible mess.
