That's fair. And you aren't a village idiot for liking Spider-Man 3. I for one happen to think that Raimi's The Gift is terrific, and people hate that one generally. And I also love the Star Wars prequels and think they are legitimately great. That's probably more disreputable an opinion than being nice to SM-3.
I do think that Spider-Man 3 did some kind of number on Raimi. After he made that, he directed just two more movies. He's done some work producing recently, including Crawl, but he hasn't directed a single movie since 2013 (when Oz the Great and Powerful, with...sigh...James Franco, bombed). And not a really good movie since Drag me to Hell in 2009.
