The movies have their strong points and their weak points. But the one thing that is glaring is having the films ultimately be about the romance between Pete and MJ but not having the relationship be believable or have good chemistry between the two of them. MJ is damn near unlikable in the 3rd one and close to unlikable in the 2nd until the end when she redeems herself. My problems with Tobey have been said so I'm not going to go back to those but he just doesn't work for me.

But the first two are still good flicks, but there are so many things that bugged me then and still bug me now. Rami giving MJ a lot of Gwen's characteristics and then making Gwen an MJ clone in the 3rd movie and making her a throw away character? :camby:

Spidey being a mute?:camby:

Goblin's GQ pose while talking to a drugged Spider-Man on the roof?:camby:

In the 2nd film, Spidey only going into action when someone within his vicinity is in danger or MJ is in danger?:camby:

And finally, Pete not growing up once he graduated college:camby:

Oh and of course he cheated. When he tossed MJ off the bridge he had Spidey save her. That's a cheat

The second ones main focus is peter/mj. And they have a terrible peter/mj.

How people can say its one of the greatest comic book movies ever when they were so far away from the characters their supposed to be is ridiculous.

How can you admit tobey/dunst were bad and then praise the movie as a goat when they were 85% of the movie.

Saying its good despite them is asinine.​

Spiderman 3 was straight trash, CGI looked horrible and wayyy to many vilians in that one.

Spiderman 2 was the best out of the trilogy

The 8-4 and fiery moats
I remember there was a rumor a while before the 3rd one dropped that Toby, Dunst and some others signed on for 3 more movies. I guess that rumor hit the bushes after seeing how bad the 3rd one turned out.

A trilogy with the Venom/Carnage storyline would be dope, but would probably be too violent for the big screen IMO.

I think people have nostalgia glasses.

Tobey was awful as both peter and spider man. The cgi does not hold up at all. Having said that the second one is still head and shoulders above 1 and 3.

Bruce campbells cameos were the best part of each movie.

The amazing spider man 1>>>>>>>>>>>>> spider man 1. Green goblin looked like a bad power ranger villain.

Its crazy though just how truly awful the third one is. Id give the 1st a 5/10 the 2nd a 7/10 but the third is a zero and one of the worst movies Ive ever seen up there with transformers 2.

Venom was an absolute joke. I understand raimi didnt like or want the character but even the sandman arc was handled terribly. Same as harry. I loved how the goblins helmet had evolved into a snowboarding helmet same as the glider becoming a snowboard.

People need to rewatch these to see thesd movies dont hold up at all.
Very true. They were good for the time, but haven't aged to well. X2 was better than Spider-Man 2, imo, and can still watch it to this day.

And I'll say it again for anyone who missed it: he cheated the Gwen Stacy death. He had goblin, he had MJ and he head the GW Bridge. Tosses her off and Spidey saves her. From that point on, it was tough for me to get into it because that is the defining moment of Peter's life. Ben's death created Spider-Man but Gwen's death defined who he became afterward and who he would be. It defined how he looked at life, relationships, good and bad, etc
