Hey, remember that last Tobey Maguire-starring Spider-Man movie, “Spider-Man 3,” back in 2007? With the extra villains? And the bizarre dance break? Well, director Sam Raimi would be perfectly fine with you forgetting all about it. “It’s a movie that didn’t work very well. I tried to make it work, but I didn’t really believe in all the characters,” he tells Chris Hardwick during a visit to the Nerdist podcast, describing “Spider-Man 3” as an “awful” movie. “If the director doesn’t love something, it’s wrong of them to make it when so many other people love it.” I wonder what he thinks of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.”
