Not for me. There are many moments in Singer movies that I enjoy. I can't say the same for Raimi. I can't think of a superhero movie worse than Spiderman 3.

Iron Man 3 says high.


But both SP3 and IM3 had such high expectations because both had the greatest villains to each, Venom and Mandarin.

And both were crapped on.

People who can spell say "hi."

And the anticipation for Iron Man 3 was nothing compared to Spiderman 3, because Iron Man 2 fricking blew while Spiderman 2 was a massive success.

Raimi is a great director overall and Spiderman 1 and 2 are both great. Spiderman 2 is easily a top 5 superhero movie.

Singer's done some great work, including the first two X-Men movies. X3 and Superman Returns were both massive piles of shite though.

I didn't hate Spiderman 3 so I'll give the edge to Raimi here.

Iron Man 3 is misguided shite, but Spider-Man 3 is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. However, I lay more of the blame at Sony's feet, not Raimi's.

Singer didn't work on X-3.

If anything that movie sucked because Singer chose to work on Superman Returns instead.

To everyone pointing out Spidey 3: it is widely thought he deliberately threw that movie because of the studio's interference.


You can't ignore the first two movies.

Especially as the first one is widely considered to be the reason for the start of the comic book movie genre fad that is still going 12 years later.

Singer....
get too much leeway for usual suspects....
Raimi doesn't get enough credit for his camera work / or comedy..
Yes sp3 was not good. but the hate he gets for that is not fair in perportion to his track record.
For Christ-sake he made Darkman!
Before Liam Neeson was a killing machine.

Singer. Cyclops, nuff said.

Spiderman 1 and 2 were great, yeah 3 was bad but I blame that on having Venom and Sandman (ha) trying to share the screen time for biggest, baddest Spidey villain.

Are you shitting me? Singer is complete garbage. Raimi is one of the most underrated directors. You are clearly trolling.

Iron Man 3 and Spider-Man 3 can't even touch the greatness of Batman & Robin
