At the sentence of writing there have been seven live - actionSpider - Manmovies and one animated cartoon entry in the form of 2018 ’s rather specialInto The Spider - Verse . Tobey Maguire , Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland have all convey different things to the role and all three have come after in turning the webslinger into one of the most - popular superheroes out there justly now .

We now take a look back through the eight movies that have been released in theatres and pick the good matter from every one . Starting with the blockbuster that started it all , 2002 ’s appropriately -named Spider - Man .

Spider-Man: Willem Dafoe As The Green Goblin

Everybody was excited when the firstSpider - Manmovie released back in 2002 with the star topology - studded cast of Tobey Maguire , Kirsten Dunst an Willem Dafoe . Yet while the movie divided opinion with its conclusion to give the Green Goblin a shiny , metallic makeover , there ’s no denying that Dafoe ’s performance as Norman Osborn was dead spectacular .

He absolutely portrayed a part slowly losing his sanity with everything , from his line delivery to his creepy facial expressions , making it a performance to remember . He ’s also brilliant at being a atrocious founding father to Harry Osborn and , by the sentence he go via his own glider at the end , audience ca n’t aid but finger the earth would be better off without somebody so villainous and menacing .

Spider-Man 2: The Train Fight Scene

Even in this day and years , where superhero motion-picture show are unloose with more frequency than ever before , Spider - Man 2still tolerate among the expert of them . It ’s a brilliant film , with Alfred Molina beam as Doctor Octopus and James Franco nail the role of a foiled , vengeful Harry Osborn . But Tobey Maguire , as Peter Parker , produces his standout operation .

And the train fight picture - oh you know the one - is Maguire at his best . It ’s comic book movies at their best full stop with the struggle adrenaline - fuel and allow for you pining for more . Even all these years on that competitiveness scene is viewed as one of the best in the business .

Spider-Man 3: The Action Scenes

While the first two Spider - Man motion picture were virtually - flawless , the third is n’t . Sam Raimi chose to up the stakes for the third , and ultimately final , part of his trilogy . But that decision backfire with the blockbuster coming across as a Brobdingnagian , giant mess .

Yet despite that , the action scenes within stand out . They ’re ready , slicker and more entertaining than anything we ’d visualize previously with Raimi able to ramp up the emotional element as well . Peter ’s showdown with Harry is sublime and the duo ’s terminal showdown with Venom and Sandman is shudder clobber to watch . It ’s just a disgrace , however , that Raimi was never given a chance to make amends for what was at long last an underwhelming final instalment .

The Amazing Spider-Man: Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone

One of the biggest complaint of the Sam Raimi trilogy was that Peter Parker and Mary Jane did n’t seem believable as a couple . Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst were both charge of being wooden and , when you see the public presentation given by Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in 2012’sThe Amazing Spider - Man , it ’s hard to disagree .

The duo bound off each other and , in a movie where Kurt Connors trying to turn New York into a nucleotide for lizard is the primary plot point , it ’s easily the best element of an otherwise forgettable field day for the webslinger . The subsequence fared little better , too , but had one standout minute in picky …

The Amazing Spider-Man 2: The Death Of Gwen Stacy

The Amazing Spider - Man 2fared little better than its predecessor , with many excoriate the decisiveness to have three baddie go up against Peter Parker in the forms of the Green Goblin , Electro and Rhino . Once again its a movie that count on the chemistry of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone a great deal more than it should .

But there ’s one saving grace - the destruction scene . It ’s emotionally frequent to watch Gwen fall to her death while Peter judge to carry through her , even firing a web that takes the kind of a hand trying to pass on out . To this day , it ’s still one of the most disconcerting scene in a laughable book movie . Cudos to director Marc Webb for putting together something so beautiful in a blockbuster that ’s otherwise forgettable .

Spider-Man: Homecoming: Tom Holland

Spider - Man : Homecomingbrought us another Peter Parker in the form of Tom Holland . And it turns out that Holland ’s youthful enthusiasm makes him the perfect webslinger with his first solo movie being a huge corner office strike despite it being the third Spider - Man reboot in less than 15 years .

The 23 - year - old is the best matter about the blockbuster , stealing the glare in every scene he ’s in . He ’s wonderful with other role , too : interactions with Ned are funny , interaction with love interest Liz a complete disaster for the character and his battle to stay anonymous really peachy to see . Holland just edges out Michael Keaton , who ’s marvelous as The Vulture .

Spider-Man: Far From Home: Mysterio

While Holland steal the screen as Peter Parker during Homecoming , it ’s Jake Gyllenhall who attain that during the subsequence , Spider - Man : Far From habitation . Seeing an doer of his like and calibre in a comic book movie was always going to be interesting . And , thankfully , he did n’t disappoint .

Whether it ’s his use of Peter Parker , his awesome array of gadget or his vindictive attitude towards Tony Stark , Mysterio range as potentially the best villain we ’ve see in a Spider - Man motion picture . And that make his death at the end of the picture that act more saddening . We need more !

Into The Spider-Verse: The Many Spiderpeople

When it was announced that Sony would be releasing Into The Spider - Verse , not everybody was sold on the idea . There were concerns that having multiple versions of the fibre would confuse witness and think they would n’t have a chance to shine individually . But , when the movie liberate , those same critics were force to wipe out their give-and-take .

It ’s a huge achievement to release a pic with different rendering of Spider - Man but Sony absolutely boom it . Whether it be Noir Spidey , Gwen Spidey , Anime Spidey or even pig Spidey ( also called Peter Porker ) everybody get the right amount of screen time needed to give themselves as wonderful graphic symbol . And we ’re buzzing to see what Sony do for the continuation …
