10 Exact Moments That Made Fans Hate Movie Franchises

The Sam Raimi Spider-Man franchise had enjoyed enormous critical and fan success with the first two movies, but the disjointed Spider-Man 3 soon brought that positive momentum to a standstill.

Overstuffed, tonally jarring and a touch too long, the movie has too many villains and some severe pacing problems, but the exact moment that people bring up when talking about why Spider-Man 3 sucks is the profoundly cringey scene where emo Peter Parker dances down the streets of New York.

An attempt to show how the Venom symbiote was affecting Peter, watching this silly sequence felt like footage from a quirky TV ad had been accidentally spliced in. Spider-Man 3 wasn’t great up to this point, but it was watchable; however, a montage of Peter being an annoying prick and giving various women the sex eyes tossed any drama the movie had built up right out the window, and fan enthusiasm along with it.

This scene is still endlessly mocked 11 years later, and like "ALAN!" it's become the go-to moment whenever someone wants to take a shot at this movie, Maguire's portrayal of the character, or the Spider-Man trilogy as a whole.
