The first half of Spider-Man is really good but always had a problem with the Green Goblin/Power Ranger look. Overall still a good movie but nowhere near Spider-Man 2.

Next five:

Infinity Wars

Zack Snyder Justice League (this would be at the top if the running time could have been snipped a bit)

Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises

Far From Home

Spider-Man

Growing up in the 70's and 80's collecting Spiderman...there was always talk of a major Spiderman movie...we had that  attempt in 1977 but it suffered from a lack of funds. When they  released the Twin Towers trailer for Spider-Man..it felt like they finally delivered on that promise...no, not the best superhero movie but certainly the most important in my mind. I think that movie ushered in the age of cinematic superheroes moreso than any other film (Superman and Batman tried and FF just flopped).

No film caught the sheer fun Spiderman gets from web-swinging like the 2002 movie. I'd always thought swinging from building to building kind of sucked when compared to leaping them in  a single bound but Toby made me realize what I was missing.

Yep. Seeing Spider-Man swinging around the city, and the sequence where he was learning how, there was a realization that special effects had finally caught up to the comics. It just felt like the time had arrived finally.

My Spider-Man movie ranking:

1) Spider-Man 2 (2004)

2) Spider-Man 1 (2002)

3) Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse

4) Spider-Man: No Way Home

5) Amazing Spider-Man 1

6) Spider-Man 3 (Sandman parts trump Venom)

7) Spider-Man: Homecoming

8) Spider-Man: Far From Home

9) Amazing Spider-Man 2

Incredible there have been this many movies in 20 years.
