The script is as tight as spider man's ass, the cinematography and directed as big as the misogynistic hatred for mj from spider man fans and as goofy as Richard nixon's evil.

Sam raimi's spider man swings from scene to scene but leaves nothing behind but an excellent parallel story about a hero and villain.
Do we need origin stories? Maybe, to know someone and to understand someone you'd have to go to the beginning. While there is obviously some nostalgia poisoning in terms of marvel movies in the 2000s like daredevil and other mediocrity, films like ang Lee's hulk and sam raimi's spider man films prove that statement wrong by being just great films.

While the quipps of the mcu don't bug me, they often feel targeted towards millennial watchers but thats not inherently the problem. What is the problem is that the way most of the directors inside the mcu direct them LIKE jokes and I think raimi knows quips and certain elements about superheroes are goofy but like any good comic, it takes them seriously.
I don't think any other spider man film has an issue with taking itself seriously but the lack of different tones and styles downplay them.

Tobey maguire himself as an actor is the most polarizing thing in this trilogy but I think his weird and off beat line deliver serves the goofy nature of a lot of the scenes which is juxtaposition with the score and directed which creates this perfect mixture of big fun superhero action and goofiness.
