Yeah you really have to account for how things were at the time.
Not sure if you really will, but if it clicks, you'd get why the Raimi era has arguably been the best. Even 3, with added hindsight perspective, was well done given what he was forced to do by Sony. The score and everything. It's arguably a representation of that that social era was fading.

IMO 1 and 2 were a staple of the early 2000's media culture. There was no other iconic live-action superhero actor really because the Nolan trilogy didn't set off yet. I saw the first movie in IMAX the Metreon, which was Sony's first attempt at creating their mall franchise of sorts with a literal Playstation store and stuff I mean that was a fucking time in at least that local history.The videogame of the 2nd movie is right up there with the recent game. This is the Playstation 2 era, and my friend and I would trade off playing this game at another friend's house you know, that lost art of sharing a single-player game?

One select image I remember was Tobey and Dunst at the VMA's, and he was making web-slinging poses as we walked on stage. He was the fucking guy. People liked to ship those two and they were allegedly dating. Dude I literally was dating a girl who colored her hair dark red and everyone was teasing her like "hey is that your Spider-Man?"

People were hating on that trilogy in similar vein as their own crude #metoo culture thing just something sensational to do, although in this case there was no ethical cause to start.

You take the early 2000's and there's:
MTV reality era
G-Unit
Spinners and DUB culture
Beyonce and Jay-Z
Britney's "Toxic"
Confessions Album
Shaq/Kobe Lakers
Forcibly "futuristic" industrial design (Like the Audi TT)
The iPod and other associated MP3 antics
The Matrix
ytmnd
99 cent Flamin' Hot Cheetos
The Playstation 2
And fucking Raimi era Spider-Man

You probably weren't alive if you don't remember half of that. We've crossed a point where that time has finally garnered some nostalgia.
