Ranked: Spider-Man Films 

There have been plenty of Spider-Man films over the years and I have now come to the point where I will rank them from the worst to the best. This is just my personal opinion so it might be different to what most people might think. 

10. Spider-Man 3 (2007)

For me Spider-Man 3 is the worst film in the franchise. It tries to do way too much with its story and ends up misfiring completely. The performances fall way flat and the characters are portrayed poorly which really hurts the film. Studio pressure made the making of the film a nightmare and that clearly shows with the end product. 

9. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

This film has plenty in common with Spider-Man 3 but it is slightly better overall. It again tries to cram to way too much into its story and the film suffers overall. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are really fun together but the villains are just terrible and it feels like big set up for a film that never came. It is a shame that this film really did poorly as there maybe could have been a good sequel here. 

8. The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

In my opinion we are now into good film territory and that starts with The Amazing Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield is really fresh in the role and it adds some life into the film and the romance is done really well here. There are some pretty glaring issues, repeating the origin story made this film feel a bit clunky and the overall plot falls quiet flat which stops it from being further up in this list. 

7. Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

The 2nd film in The Spider-Man MCU films is next on the list. Far From Home does some things really well. Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaal really deliver as Spider-Man and Mysterio, providing some really fun action. It is just the film is a bit slow to get going and its plot is a bit predictable. But this film does have two pretty amazing post credit scenes. 

6. Spider-Man (2002) 

The film that started it all. Spider-Man is a great film with a really good cast. Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man was an inspired choice and was really easy to support and Willem Dafoe was a fantastic choice as Green Goblin. It is literally just held back by its cheesiness and the fact that it has some scripting issues compared to the other films in this list. 

5. Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

The first MCU solo Spider-Man film is fantastic. It does a great job of introducing Tom Holland as Spider-Man with the spotlight on him. Mix this with a great supporting cast including Robert Downey Jnr as Tony Stark and Michael Keaton as Vulture and you have one of the better MCU films. It has great action and shows the high quality of the other 4 films that this film can only take 5th. 

4. Spider-Man 2 (2004)

This film is truly fantastic, it raises the level from the first film by a significant margin. It has a great hero going against a truly brilliant villain. Maguire and Alfred Molina as Doc Ock provide some amazing sequences. The action flows so well and the train sequence alone is special. A few years ago this would have been easily number 1 but a couple of modern films have now overtaken it. 

3. Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) 

The newest film in the Spider-Man franchise is a truly special film and experience. It brings characters from all three franchises together and seeing Tom Hollands Spider-Man interacting with these different villains is fantastic and a fun watch. It has humour, emotion and real stakes and this film is one of the better comic book films that I can remember. It takes a truly amazing film to beat this but in my opinion, two slightly did. 

2. Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (2018)

The 1st animated film on this list manages to be near the top because when I finished watching I realised just how incredible it is. The cast are all amazing, the plot is fresh and exciting. The animation style is just breath-taking and one of the greatest put on screen. Some people have reservations about watching an animated film but don't and watch in my opinion one of the best Spider-Man films so far. 

1. Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (2023)

The second animated film Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse is currently my favourite Spider-Man film. It is the most recent film in the franchise but I came out of the film amazed about how good a film this is. The animation is fantastic and the film keeps you completely invested throughout. The characters of Miles Morales & Gwen Stacy are developed so well and they are some of the best characters in comic book films. These Spider-Verse films are amazing and seem to be dominating to the top of the rankings.  

Overall

Overall, Spider-Man films range from amazing to bad but I think overall we have had a good quality of Spider-Man films and hopefully this continues in whatever guise we see in the future.
