Sam Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy Famous Last Nerds

When Sam Raimi released his first Spider-Man film in 2002 nobody could ever have imagined that it would be the beginning of an entirely new genre of films which would make billions each year. With Tobey Maguire in the titular role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Kirsten Dunst as his longterm love interest, Mary-Jane Watson, the trilogy exploded onto the big screen and took $2.5bn in the space of 5-6 years.

Willem Defoe portrayed the villainous Green Goblin in the first film while the second gave us Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus which is wildely revered as one of the best villain portrayals of all-time but the less said about the villains in the third film the better.
