1. Overall
So it comes down to this. Which one is better? Well if I may, I'd like to take a cop-out neutral path. Here goes...
The Original Version... gave us the 'true' version of Spider-Man's beginning. It was the film that pleased comic book fans and moviegoers alike, and kickstarted the superhero movie genre. While some may argue the X-Men film did it first, Spider-Man tripled the previous film's box-office, and showed superhero movies could be a lucrative endeavor.
But the Reboot... took a step back from the current fashion of dark and gritty superhero movies and said "Whoa, take it easy! It's still possible for a comic book movie to have fun with itself." It presented to us a movie with an entirely different atmosphere, one that was about a superhero but wasn't constant punching-out the villain, but rather was a kinda mysterious comedy-suspense.
The Winner... while the 2002 original definitely had a bigger impact, as a pure piece of cinema, The Amazing Spider-Man wins it.
