Go back and watch Evil Dead and try and take it seriously. You cant. Why? Because it sucked. That was supposed to be a serious horror flick.
Sam Raimi sucks at everything he does and even if he is given something unsuckable, he finds a way to suckify it, eg. Spiderman.
Sam Raimi is the succubus of the film industry and should be killed with fire at the soonest available opportunity.

Yes, they are B-Grade laughers and that's why I love them - Bruce Campbell will always be my favorite actor. The first Evil Dead was indeed intended as a serious horror flick, but the unintended camp worked in its favor, which is why Evil Dead II was essentially a remake with an overt comical flair (followed the equally hilarious Army of Darkness). I loved Darkman and its cheesiness, and the first Spiderman did a good job of capturing the original feel of the comics. But there is no excuse for the crapiness of Spiderman 3...
