Did you ever see the dance scene in A Nightmare On Elm Street 2? That was pretty lame.

in any movie.
It is horrendous. I see some people, raimi lovers, cheese lovers, are trying to rewrite history with this film and claim that its not as bad as people make it out to be. Its actually worse.
Watching a beloved character reduced to some 'edgy' mongoloid, disco dancing down the streetwhat were they even thinking? Its a huge stain on the character of Spider-Man. Many people have said there was a fatigue for the character of Spidey due to having a reboot complete with origin within five years of S3id say a lot of fatigue set in when we had to put up with literally the cheesiest interpretation of Peter Parker yet, prancing about and acting like a total dick head.
Tobey Maguire actually wore eyeliner in this movie. Eyeliner. And what about that floppy fringe??
MJ moaning again. whining constantly, on an on with the whinging.
Venom, an embarrassment.
Sandman, bens killer.
An amnesia storyline.jesus
The remembering butler.
Gwen as a throwaway character.
An absolutely disgraceful movie.

It's comments like this that make me think not everybody can be a film critic. The particular offense here is that the OP ignored what was going on in the movie at the time and making it sound like it was a continuation of the character's personality, oh and the fact he tries to degrade anybody else for actually understanding the point they were making. That said, I'll explain as best I can, but you'll really have to watch it yourself to see if i'm right or semi-close. The story of Spiderman is essentially about this mil-mannered, teenager who is a nerd among jocks and popular kids, the part in the movie where Parker deviates from this mirrors, to a certain extint, the character's reaction to "joining" with the alien symbiote; it screws with his head and makes him do some odd and uncharacteristic things, in a funny way, the scene was cheesey, light-hearted and fun, watch and laugh.

I love it!

As far as I know, nobody's defending this scene by saying that it's good. I know that people defend the point of the dance scene. Many haters of this movie say that this scene looks ridiculous and it makes fool out of Peter Parker. And, like it or not, that was the point. This scene was made to be intentionally embarrassing. The symbiote suit is embracing all the desires of Peter Parker. In this sense, his main desire was to be accepted by everyone and to look cool. The symbiote suit gives him confidence to act that way, but Peter, who's always been a naive nerd, doesn't know what the concept of being cool means. Thus, when he tries to act like one, it's embarrassing. And also, I don't think you're very familiar with Spider-Man, but there were dozens of moments in comics when he was trying to act confidently in public but people were laughing at him.

I've always thought that the dance is what killed his career.
Death is the standard breach for a complex prize.

Don't get your panties in a bunch.

I absolutely agree with the OP. I hate when people downplay how awful it is, claiming "It's not that bad", because it is. It's the reason so many people call this a terrible movie, it's the reason Sony decide to reboot.

It was almost physically painful to watch that scene. I kind of liked Spider-man (2002) and Spider-man 2 (2004). But Spider-man 3 (2007) ALMOST belongs in the bottom 100 list for that scene alone. It brought the movie down from a 5 to a 3 for me, which I thought would have been impossible for any one scene to do before I saw it. It was actually so bad it tainted my memory of the other two spider-man movies with Toby. Seriously, I can't even watch that actor again without seeing that scene play out before my eyes, is was cinematically traumatizing.

I couldn't stand Mary Jane in this. She was such an annoying, unlikeable b!tch in this. Even moreso than in the first two films.
EDIT
I forgot to mention her horrendous singing. Awful. Just plain awful.
"I learned that in prison, you like? You white trash piece-a sh!t."

I started crying.

Yeah that's pretty much when the movie lost me. By that I mean when he was dancing on the sidewalk, not in the club. That was even worse.

Im sorry i thought that was the best thing about this movie. I loved it.
What we do in life echos in eternity

I've seen better fake crying in elementary school productions. But that whole cock Peter Parker scene was an embarrassment.
Col. G. Stonehill: Most people around here have heard of Rooster Cogburn.

I liked it, thought it was great!

I liked emo Peter, it made sense in the context of the film for him to act that way. None of you have any sense of humor.

I agree and I also think Tobey Maguire has no dignity for doing those stupid dance scenes. If I were him I'd have torn the script into tiny little pieces in front of Raimi when I got to all those emo Parker dance scenes.
So what is your opinion on these dance scenes?:

Not the fact: Unlike Spider-Man, Tony Stark from the comics was never portrayed as a goofy character that can allow himself to act like a naive kid. In the comics, Stark had I-TAKE-NO-SHT attitude and was very serious. (Heck, he was on the verge of suicide at one point in his life.) However, I don't see a lot of people having problem with that, despite the fact that Tony Stark's dance off scene is way more out of character.

Green Goblin is great!

the twist dance was worst

That's the funniest part of the movie. Makes it worth watching.
