Catwoman (2004)

Better than either Spiderman, visually

Users here laud the comic book faithful Spidermen yet lambast this flick. I did not find any of these blockbusters to have uncrapful stories and characters, but Catwoman's visual styling outmatches its Raimi-directed rival.

No, I'm not talking about how "realistic" the CGI is, or any other oxymoronic geek rhetoric; I'm praising the photography and editing and color and metropolis design and, and, well, the great art direction. Add to this the non-dull-Joe-Blow-50s-americana-characters-(witty, sexy) and you have a delicious pulp feature, at least not the "total disaster" other high-minded described.
