A middling 59 Metascore on a $258M budget is a tough swallow—though the $895M worldwide gross suggests audiences were far less critical than the critics themselves.
Spider-Man 3 trails Sam Raimi's own 62.4-point average across 14 scored films, falling 3.4 points short and sitting well below his best-reviewed work, Spider-Man 2 (83).
Tobey Maguire's 59 here falls 4.3 points short of his 63.3-point average across 20 scored films, failing to match the heights of Spider-Man 2 (83), his best-reviewed vehicle to date.
