Every Single Spider-Man Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

6. The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

By rights, Sony should have just made Spider-Man 4 even when Sam Raimi confirmed he couldn't deliver the sequel the studio were looking for. They should have gone with someone else, rather than needlessly rebooting.

Having said that, there are some good things about The Amazing Spider-Man that shouldn't be over-looked. It was admirable that they sought to use a villain who hadn't been introduced before, for instance and Andrew Garfield wasn't terrible as the younger, cooler Peter Parker. Likewise, Emma Stone was a better female lead than Kirsten Dunst had been allowed to be in Raimi's trilogy.

It's far from the worst movie ever released, but it was always working against itself to justify its very existence and it never quite manages it. In the end, it was just too close to Raimi's work for comfort and the new additions paled in comparison to his ideas that were still fresh in everyone's minds.
