Spider-Man: Every Movie Villain Ranked Worst To Best

Though fans never got a chance to see Dylan Baker's version of Curt Connors from the Raimi trilogy take the form of The Lizard, The Amazing Spider-Man brought the character to the big screen with a quick recasting and mixed results.

Played by Rhys Ifans, who recently reprised his role in No Way Home, Connors is given a sympathetic but ultimately rushed backstory, before turning him into a generic CGI monster with little humanity or defining features.

That's not to say he's all bad, of course, since he gets some decent action beats to work with and Ifans does a commendable job to overcome the film's convolution, but there's no denying that The Lizard is a middle-of-the-road Spidey villain through-and-through, easily forgotten if entertaining enough in the moment.
