He's good. The Spider Man movies are fantastic - real main stream. They go beyond the screens of purely comic book fans. Taking a character like Spider-Man and making 3 movies that aren't absolutely ridiculous is an impressive feat.
Why? People LOVE Spider-man, So making three movies about him that people would wanna go see isnt that impressive. Especially concidering that it was the first time Spidey was on the big screen.

Normally, I would have said he did an awesome job, but after 3, he went down a bit. I said he did ok. He can redeem himself though. With the masterpieces that were Spider 1 and 2, I know the dudes got it in him.
1 and 2 were really good, 3 sucked balls and it was his fault. This left a nasty bitter taste in my mouth about him. Does he deserve to get another shot? nothing I can do there.....its going to happen or not. Will I like SM 4? time will tell.
It wasn't really his fault. I still blame it on Sony for forcing him to use Venom in the movie. His original joices where Sandman and New Goblin or Sandman and Vulture. If it wasn't for Sony forcing Venom down his throat, Spiderman 3 could have been just as amazing as 1 and 2 I think.
The fans wanted Venom, Raimi didnt like him so he did it his way and pretty much said screw them on what they want. I am going to mess this character up.
Spiderman 1 was very good, 2 was was great, but 3 was a real letdown. For me Raimi seemed to be making 3 while on autopilot, whilst he put his heart and soul into the first 2 movies.
I seriously doubt he would **** up the character on purpose and risk loosing millions of dollars over an inconvenience. The dude had Venom forced down his throat at last minute and did the best he could with it. It didn't turn out good, but its hardly his fault. Sure, its no secret he doesn't really care much for Venom, but it doesn't mean he ****ed over the character because he didn't like him.
People love Superman (way more than Spider man by the way) - but that didn't stop the Returns movie from tanking and sucking balls.
The fact that he made people want to go see it wasn't the impressive part - it was the fact that they were all actually GOOD movies, that people OTHER than comic book fans can appreciate.
And you can thank "incert any director's name" for that. Spider-man movies did not need Raimi, almost any director (as long as he's not a complete idiot) could've made the movies and they would've been just as interesting and popular or even more interesting (SM3). It's Raimi who should be thankfull he got the chance to make the movies about Spider-man.
