so I went ahead and rewatched ALL the Spider-Man movies in the past week, most of which I hadn't seen since theaters, and I'd never watched the Garfield ones at all. I'm glad I ended when I did rather than right before the new movie cuz I am BURNT OUT on Spider-MEN! I need a break

Ranked: https://letterboxd.com/carter_sauce/list/spider-men-1/

Takeaways:
- Spider-Man 3 is a mess plot-wise but it's actually an amazing comedy, MOST of it intentional. The dance scene gets shit on for no reason, the Evil Peter stuff was by far the best part of the movie. Tobey's pretty one-note "loser nerd" throughout these movies so getting him to play so far against type was fun af. And "Look at little Goblin Jr! Gonna CRY?" might be the best Spider-Man line of all-time, especially so after rewatching that trilogy in quick succession and realizing Harry was the absolute worst part of it

- Amazing Spider-Man 1 was eeeasily the worst of all these, idk why the 2nd one gets shit on more. The 2nd at least tried to have more FUN with it and didn't have super brooding/angsty Peter like this one. And the Uncle Ben death was laughably bad

- The contrast between the three iterations was p interesting, especially as far as the directorial imprint goes. You had the Raimi movies with a VERY distinct campy personality, then you had the weird indie movie vibe of the Webb ones, and then you had...Marvel. Like it's not new news that Marvel applies a very clear formula to their movies (with a few exceptions) but man, it's never been as obvious as watching it so close to the others. Obviously the Holland ones were better than the Garfield ones, but it was actually kinda sad to see the personality suddenly get sucked out like that, out of the director's hands and into The Formula™

I’ve been watching the movies to catch up too and it makes me realize I like the tone of the Garfield movies over Holland ones. Spider-Man should have some darkness to it.

somewhat agree? The personal tragedy is one thing that's definitely missing, although I get why they didn't want to rehash the Uncle Ben death yet again. Tony dying is the closest thing but not really the same since there's no personal responsibility attached to it

but speaking of Tony that'd probably be MY main complaint with the Holland ones, that they made him so closely intertwined with Stark. What's good/unique about the character is that he's self-made, an average high school nerd who stumbles into being a superhero. Being handed the keys to the kingdom like he has with all the advanced tech and shit makes him feel just as much like Iron Man Jr as he does Spider-Man

just got back from it. Prob have more to say about it later but for now I think I can safely say it's the best of the MCU Spidey movies. Still had a lot of the unshakeable Marvel misgivings but despite that it was a lot of fun and handled its premise better than I thought it would

also never in all my days have I heard an audience reaction like a couple points in this movie got. Pretty sure this guy behind me actually came during a certain moment, things got intense

And you still gave it a lowly 6/10 on LB! Thought it’d be higher after reading this

Seeing it shortly

6/10 is a positive rating Curt! Above-average for MCU

I agree your version would've been better but we had veryyyy different theater experiences in that case lol. Those were some religious experiences for about half my crowd
