i'm really confused as to when people started thinking the previous trilogy was crap. maybe i'm losing my mind, but i was sure it was massively well received before the 3rd movie came out (with people generally applauding tobey as spidey)i must have slipped into a coma during the raimi spidey riots of 2008.
At the time I enjoyed the films, watching them back now though they haven't aged well, not like X-Men which is still as good today as it was 12 years ago
