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

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.
