re: 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.
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.

What would be a red flag in that? I think Nolan made the film he wanted to make. I seriously doubt if the studio was in charge they would have gone with Bane and Talia al Ghul as main villains, with Hardy playing Bane. Rumors are that the studio was trying to force Nolan into making the Riddler the main antagonist with Leonardo Dicaprio playing him. I think they eventually relented when they saw his plans for the script though, and clearly the Riddler couldn't do any of that shite.
I could perhaps see them forcing Catwoman on him though, even though it turned out great. Chris said he was completely against Catwoman until his brother came up with a way to put her in and give her a good arc, and then he was completely on board.
