I don't think it close to as bad as Spider-Man 3.
It didn't have dancing/emo Peter. It didn't have some of the worst dialogue ever put on film (the Aunt May speech about marriage). It didn't have one of the worst plot devices ever put on film (the butler knew all along that Spidey was innocent).
I could think of more, but it's late and I don't want to remember any of it anymore.
:lol: Dancing emo Pete.
Yeah Spiderman 3 got a LOT wrong, worst of all was shoving in Venom where he didn't belong... Raimi didn't want him but the studios did apparently.
But there was still some pretty good stuff in there:
- Sandman's birth, and his first spidey fight.
- Dark Pete had his moments (taunting Eddie Brock and Harry)
- JK Simmons is always a hoot
- A potentially interesting love triangle
If we threw away Venom and kept it to the Harry arc + Sandman, it could have been awesome.
Some of the stuff in TAS2 was just as bad, along with moments of good.
The whole Rhino arc was just ridiculous, DeHaan's Harry jumped around between Edward Cullen to full Nicolas Cage, Electro was given some horrible dialogue and no motivation.
Both movies were about equal for me, lots of potential but poorly done in the end.
