Why Do People Give Raimi a Pass on Spiderman 3 Because of Studio Interference?

Did the studio tell him to include an emo Peter Parker? Dancing scenes? I get that they shoehorned Venom into the film but I always hear Raimi apologists act like a lot of what made the film bad wasn't his fault.

I honestly kinda respect Sam Raimi for putting in those shitty scenes. It's what I would have done if the studio basically took over my project and wouldn't allow me to remotely make the movie I wanted to make after delivering them box office gold twice with little interference. He gave them exactly what they wanted, and also made it as shitty as he could possibly get away with. It was a frick you to the studio system, and I sort of respect him for it.
Even without the Emo Peter Parker and the Dancing scene, the film is still an absolute clusterfrick. Too many different characters and villains with too many differing motives to where nothing makes sense. You have 3 films worth of plot in this movie, so none of it works. The first 2 were tightly paced and everything built up to the next thing. This film goes on a plot point, drops it for an hour, and then picks back up when there's no reason it should have stopped in the first place.

I blame the writers strike. Probably errantly, but I just can't help but believe that movie could have been marvelous had sandman, green goblin 2 been left out and Eddie Brock was recast. Also symbiote Peter should have been overly angry and aggressive rather than emo weird

i think he thought he could make it work. he learned his lesson on spidey 4 when he ended up walking. one film too late though.

Studio interference is a very legit reason to give a pass to a director. The guy flat out quit in development for the fourth one. Look at Jon Favreau as well. Not a great director, but better than that shitty Iron Man II attempt. You see it all the time. Very few directors get free reign anymore. I have even suspected Christopher Nolan of falling victim to this with The Dark Knight Rises.

He doesn't need a pass cause Spiderman 3 isn't as bad as you guys make it out to be.
