3. The Amazing Spider-Man
There is no reboot to date that is more pointless than The Amazing Spider-Man, given how lazily it straggles through the beats of the first Sam Raimi film, recycling all of the things we've seen before - such as Uncle Ben getting shot - and not giving Peter Parker, who is unquestionably well-played by Andrew Garfield, the Spidey suit until an hour into the movie. This should have just been Spider-Man 4; re-cast Parker and just get on with it, and this still would have allowed Marc Webb to make his vision of Spider-Man darker than previous entries, but he decided to return to the drawing board, telling us everything we already know for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Had he shown all of those beats in an opening credits montage, that would have been far more agreeable than making us sit through the same thing for 60 minutes. The villain, The Lizard - again, well played by Rhys Ifans - is a relatively weak antagonist because he appears so late to the game, and is again steeped in the same boring flourishes as the previous villains, that he's not really such a bad guy after all. There's hope, though, that the next film will have all the preambles out of the way and just focus on telling a good Spider-Man story.
