10 Movie Trilogies That Had The WORST Endings
5. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man
Sam Raimi's original Spider-Man was a great movie, but his Spider-Man 2 remains one of the greatest in the history of the genre, so expectations were perhaps unreasonably high for 2007's Spider-Man 3.
With a brilliant marketing campaign teasing the showdown between Spidey (Tobey Maguire) and Venom (Topher Grace), hype was through the roof prior to the film's release, only for Raimi to deliver a bizarre mess of a threequel.
In every fiber of Spider-Man 3's being, it's painfully clear that Raimi wasn't a fan of Venom and had no business adapting the character to the big screen. From the miscasting of Topher Grace to the supervillain's underwhelming visual presentation, it just didn't work.
That's without getting into the overabundance of supporting villains in Sandman (Thomas Hayden Church) and Harry Osborn (James Franco), while the script ill-advisedly retconned a key aspect of Uncle Ben's (Cliff Robertson) death, as majorly rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way.
It just tried to do too much and ended up feeling like an overegged meal of a movie that lacked the charm and emotional clarity of the two prior films.
