10. Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Not unlike The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 suffers from a “too many villains” problem, but the much-maligned third installment is a breath of fresh air when compared to current superhero fare. Raimi never forgets to dot the film with grounded stakes—Sandman’s whole story arc is particularly sad and moving—and moments of wonder, like Peter discovering the powers of the symbiote suit before it starts to corrupt him. No matter how good it was, Spider-Man 3 was always going to be a step down from Spider-Man 2, but the drop in quality is pretty dramatic. And, before you say anything, yes, that dance sequence is supposed to be cringe-worthy!
