To be fair, the original Koepp draft for Spider-Man prior to when Raimi was hired was a downright abomination and one of the worst blockbuster scripts to be peddled around Hollywood. Raimi was basically hired with the job to work with the script as is, and how he managed to edit and re-write it into something actually watachable (shut the fuck up, TVC) is kind of amazing. Any kind of sense he had with the series was kind of lost after the sequel, though.
