Spider-Man: Every Movie Villain Ranked Worst To Best
17. The Green Goblin (The Amazing Spider-Man 2)
In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, no promising character is as let-down by the script as Dane DeHaan's Harry Osborn, the best friend of Peter Parker who returns home after the death of his father and, through a nonsensical series of twists, becomes one of the film's many unengaging villains.
Between DeHaan's gloomy performance, the make-up he's given for his Green Goblin get-up, and the way his entire development is rushed through so Spidey has more to face, Osborn is an egregious waste of potential in a movie with far too many.
Watching the Green Goblin here, it becomes clearer than ever why The Amazing Spider-Man saga imploded following its sophomore effort. With no time to grow, Harry Osborn becomes yet another overblown villain no one really cares about.
