10 Incredible Scenes Trapped In Otherwise Bad Movies
10. Birth Of Sandman - Spider-Man 3
Spider-Man 3 was a bloated mess that had way too much going on. And while many people hold up the treatment of Venom as the films biggest missed opportunity, a full movie devoted to Sandman may have really been what viewers lost out on. Its clear that this was the villain Sam Raimi really wanted to use and even though his redemption arc paled in comparison to Dr. Octopuss, his origin scene showed us what could have been. On the run, Flint Marko falls into a particle accelerator experiment. The morning after, his dissolved body begins to slowly piece itself together, forming a patchwork humanoid form made out of sand. The struggle is apparent as he tries to gather himself and you can see his devastation upon realising what hes become. He then spots the locket with his daughters picture, but collapses trying to grab it. Finally finding something to live for, he solidifies himself and rises up. The entire scene is surprisingly beautiful for a supervillains origin, thanks in no small part to the lack of dialogue and Christopher Youngs score, which really conveys his sadness. If only the rest of the film had been handled with such a thoughtful approach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u42zRlrBYbs
