The coolest Spider-Man, the nicest Spider-Man, the funniest Spider-Man and the smartest Spider-Man. Just not the most comic book accurate Spider-Man.
Andrew's Peter Parker is way more likeable than Tobey's and the film looks a lot better cinematography wise. There’s something about Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man that feels more iconic and comicy, but personally, though it hurts me to say it, I like this one more. It’s feels more realistic and the characters feel more Interesting. The romance is better and there’s a skateboarding scene, also the old Spider-Man film where we getta see peters actual parents.
I really really really really hope Andrew Garfield is in No Way Home. But even if he isn’t I’m glad we get the lizard and green goblin.
I liked this uncle Ben more, and Peter was less of a dick to him in this, but his death doesn’t hit me as hard in this version. Sam Raimi's uncle Ben death scene makes me cry every time without fail. And Curt Connors wasn’t a great villain, the lizard is cool but he was pretty generic.
I love Peter and Gwen's relationship and I really liked Gwen's dad. This was a pretty cool Spider-Man film.
7.5/10
