10 Times Directors Hated The Films They Made

Pretty much anyone would be ashamed of emo Spider-Man, so it's no surprise that Sam Raimi, famous for the Evil Dead movies, wasn't too proud of 2007's Spider-Man 3. Raimi, who had succeeded marvellously with his first two Spidey films, openly admitted that many elements of the third movie, in his words, "just didn't work very well".

The director was pressured into adding extra villains into the third film in order to make it bigger than the second, but felt that the movie went a little too far and fell out of his control. Originally, Raimi wasn't keen on the idea of including Venom in the film, pushing to use the Vulture as a villain instead, but his ideas were ignored.

Despite being regarded as the weakest of the Spider-Man trilogy, the film was a box office smash, but Raimi later called it "awful" and pulled out of making Spider-Man 4 after further disputes and disagreements with the production company.
