Sam Raimi Defends Spider-Man 3's Cringe-Worthy Maguire Dance Scene
Spider-Man 3 director Sam Raimi has reacted to Tobey Maguire's infamous dance from the film becoming a viral meme, and defended it. Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy is widely considered to have kicked off the current Golden Age of superhero movies. While today it is hard to imagine a world in which cinemas aren't dominated by the latest MCU or DCEU projects, in the early 2000s, superhero movies were struggling to find their feet. However, Raimi's 2002 Spider-Man proved just how epic a superhero movie could be; casting top tier actors such as Maguire and Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin, and using groundbreaking CGI to make Spider-Man's web-slinging come to life. Raimi's Spider-Man later spawned two sequels, and the films became a blueprint for future superhero blockbusters.
