Best to Worst — The ‘Spider-Man’ Movies Ranked

Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

With The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opening in theaters this week, I thought it was necessary to talk about the rest of the Spider-Man films. So I decided to rank them from best to worst. There have been five films total over the past twelve years. Five movies and two completely different Spider-Man performances. Fans and critics both are divided, as Raimi fans are loyal to the original trilogy and others kept an open mind with the newer and edgier Spider-Man. But if one thing is for certain, it doesn’t take much to make or break a superhero movie. Whether it be villains, the narrative, or something else entirely; anything can affect it.

So let’s rank these Spider-Man movies.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 [SPOILERS] — MOVIE REVIEW

Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man 2

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 marks the second installment of the rebooted Spiderman franchise and they were both directed by Marc Webb. There were many who very much disliked the first installment of the new franchise, but I personally loved it. Once again, critics and fans both are split. Some love it and some hate it. Is it because of Andrew Garfield’s performance as PeterParker/Spider-Man? Is it because of the lack of narrative? Or is it because of some other reason? I don’t know. All I can say is what I thought of it. There will be spoilers in this and they are probably spoilers you REALLY don’t want to read unless you’ve seen the movie.

2014 Summer Box Office Preview — My Thoughts

Every year, about this time, is when all of the good movies start coming out. I’m not talking about the “real” good movies; the ones that get award recognition for their excellence. I am talking about those fun, action-packed, big blockbuster movies that make a ridiculous amount of money during the summer. This year, I am counting summer as the months May all the way through August. With that being said, let’s talk about the movies I am most excited and not excited to see this summer.
