Every Spider-Man Movie Ranked Worst To Best

11. Spider-Man: The Dragon's Challenge (1981)

To be perfectly honest, The Amazing Spider-Man TV show that ran between 1977 and 1979 is notable only for kitsch, nostalgic value now. It is horribly dated, boasts hilariously low-production values and the stories were typically silly.

The Dragon's Challenge movie was actually the feature-length Season Two finale - originally called The Chinese Web - and follows Peter Parker protecting a Chinese businessman in a surprisingly bland story that you'd think would be beneath even street level heroes.

There's precious little action (which is a shame, as this is pretty much the only entertaining aspect), and it isn't the best way to end the Amazing Spider-Man 70s TV trilogy. Watch it for the novelty if nothing else.
