Sam Raimi's Spider-Man are far superior as movies and adaptations (though Homecoming is still an overall better movie than Spider-Man 3).
The Raimi trilogy isn't completely accurate, the filmmakers took plenty of creative liberties, but I'd say it gets more right than wrong, and they're definitely the most faithful Spider-Man movies, though they are some liberties that were just unnecessary. However, being 100% faithful to the source material isn't really possible unless if you make a literal direct panel to panel adaptation, that's something that honestly may not actually translate that well on screen for a Spider-Man movie. I don't think all the liberties that Raimi took were that bad, a lot of them were quite trivial and complaining about them is nitpicking. I actually liked some of the creative liberties they took, they worked well for the stories they were trying to tell.
MCU Spider-Man movies are decent movies, but not good adaptations.

Not completely. Venom wasn't done completely right, but that's largely because Raimi didn't understand the character that well and he's even admitted that he didn't understand Venom. Raimi wasn't a big fan of Venom because the character was introduced in the 1980s, the material that Raimi liked the most were the silver age comics. Raimi originally wanted Vulture as a villain for Spider-Man 3, Vulture was in the earlier drafts and Raimi even had talks with Ben Kingsley, but Vulture was removed from the script and replaced by Venom.
And let's be fair, Raimi didn't get Eddie Brock wrong in terms of personality. Topher Grace's Eddie Brock was actually based on the Ultimate comics version of Eddie as well as the 90s show, who by the way was a dishonest incel who tried to entice 15 year old Gwen Stacy in having sex, and Eddie's roommate described him as a "psycho" with incel tendencies due to constantly being rejected by girls. Topher Grace's Eddie was pretty similar to that (creeping on Gwen Stacy and trying to hit on Betty Brant who told him to go away etc.), albeit a bit toned down due to PG-13 rating. Eddie Brock in the 90s show was a rival photographer of Peter Parker that Peter really disliked due to his dishonesty, and we see something similar to that in Spider-Man 3.

Raimi caught the feeling of the character better (even if his films did get cheesy AF at times)...
Dont get that feeling of loneliness at all from MCU Spidey. I guess thats tough when youre best pals with Iron Man. But I get it, they had to move the movies on, we got plenty of sad lonely Peter Parker in the previous films.
