Marvel Fans Find New Love for the Most Divisive Spider-Man Movies

As a lifelong cinema enthusiast who has seen his fair share of Spider-Man adaptations, I must say that the ongoing debate about which live-action Spider-Man is the best is as intriguing as it is divisive. While Tobey Maguire’s portrayal will forever hold a special place in my heart for being the first major live-action iteration, I have to admit that Andrew Garfield has grown on me significantly over the years. The recent resurgence of love for his performances in “The Amazing Spider-Man” and “Amazing Spider-Man 2” has been nothing short of delightful.


Despite the mixed reactions to the Spider-Man films starring Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, namely The Amazing Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man remains a beloved Marvel character among fans. The recent portrayal of the character by Tom Holland has reignited interest in live-action versions of the web-slinger. Additionally, the appearance of Maguire and Garfield in Spider-Man: No Way Home has only added to their appeal for fans. As the first actor to bring the character to a major live-action film, Maguire holds a special place in the hearts of fans. The task of following the widely acclaimed Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies was not an easy one, and Garfield’s portrayals did not have as strong an impact initially.

It appears that there’s a shift in popularity, as the films The Amazing Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man 2, starring Garfield as the Marvel character, have been climbing up Peacock’s “Top 10” list. Audience members are revisiting these films with a fresh perspective, maintaining their enthusiasm for them following Garfield’s return as Peter Parker. Fans on Letterboxd have even expressed their admiration for Garfield’s Spider-Man, with one user saying, “my affection for Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man is growing quickly”, a sentiment shared by many Spider-Man fans, both veteran and new.

Fans who have been following the Spider-Man series since its debut in 2012 and have recently voiced their discontent about the film’s delayed recognition and Andrew Garfield’s performance, are now expressing their feelings. Apollo1ol, one of these fans, says, “I’m tired of people acting like they were there. Andrew Garfield, you’ve always been the best Spider-Man.

Fans often credit the compelling performances of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as the primary reason they enjoy the film. User Elyssa Radenz shares, “Re-watching it after all these years, I find it doesn’t stand the test of time. While some fight scenes were enjoyable, and I adore Andrew and Emma, that’s essentially where my praises end.” Joe Comer concurs, stating, “I am a huge fan of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in this movie. The main flaw I see in this film is its mediocre villain and confusing plot. Nonetheless, the acting is top-notch, although I believe the script and storyline could be improved. Overall, it’s still an excellent movie (and my favorite Peter Parker has to be Andrew Garfield).

Following Andrew Garfield’s return in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” fans have been clamoring for a third installment in the incomplete “The Amazing Spider-Man” trilogy. Due to the lackluster box office performance of the two films starring Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man and production issues, Sony halted the development of the third and fourth movies in the series. As of now, Sony has not announced any new plans for the “The Amazing Spider-Man” franchise. However, while it seems unlikely that we’ll see another film featuring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, some fans remain optimistic. User Ellie expresses her longing by saying, “Every time I watch these movies, I go in thinking I’ll be able to critique objectively, but every single time I just end up getting emotional and wanting Andrew Garfield’s Spidey back.
