Every Single Spider-Man Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

3. Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

Spider-Man: Homecoming was nothing like Sam Raimi's trilogy and nothing like The Amazing Spider-Man movies and still managed to be an incredible success. Taking in John Hughes influences and a Harry Potter-like focus on characters in school, the stand-alone was a brilliant starting point for Spider-Man's assault on the MCU.

The tone is pretty much perfect, with a great balance between humour and emotion, and the cast is excellent, even though there were major concerns early on that there were just too many villains involved again. Tom Holland stands out in particular, but Michael Keaton's menacing Vulture - a villain for the working class modern moment - is also really great.

The connections to the rest of the MCU aren't over-bearing either and it promised a hell of a lot for the future of the character under the MCU banner. Let's just hope he sticks around longer than the initial deal allows.
