Swap SM-1 with TASM's position, and that's my order of preference.

1) The Amazing Spider-Man & Spider-Man 2
3) Spider-Man
4) Spider-Man 3

1. Spider-Man 2
I still think that this is the best superhero movie of all time. I love that it's pretty much a bigscreen version of the "Spider-Man No More" story.

2. Spider-Man
Great first film. WD was awesome as the Green Goblin. I love how it stays true to the origin story(too bad Spider-Man 3 retcon it).

3. Amazing Spider-Man
Ok movie. I don't like how it covers the same stuff that was in the first movie. The story is pretty weak but the actors are good so it hides some of the flaws. I don't care for the parents sub-plot, and the Lizard is goofy.

4. Spider-Man 3
I read the novelization first so I had high hopes for the movie, but a lot of the best stuff was cut from the movie.

Spider-Man 2
Amazing Spider-Man
Spider-Man
Spider-Man 3

I still think Raimi made a solid trilogy, but ASM may be a solid one too, shall sony decided to step up their game for the sequel(s).

1. The Amazing Spider-Man. I really enjoyed it, because it just felt like they tried a little better to get in toward the comics and tried to build a larger story. The only reason this comes first, though, is because it is going to have a sequel and is more than likely to have 3 or more films. If it was standalone or was only going to be 2 films, it would have not been worth it.
2. Spider-Man. Great origin story, and loved the costume in this one. The minor changes that came in 2/3 kind of made it more movie-ish and made it feel less like a comic book movie, and more like just a movie.
3. Spider-Man 2. Villain was great, comic following was adequate, humor was good. It ranks third as it was kind of filled with some mistakes that distracted me from watching the movie, and Peter being out of school and being a slacker made it harder to feel like I wanted to watch the movie for Spider-Man, and wanted to see Peter advance in school and get his act together.
4. Spider-Man 3. I really enjoyed this movie, it was a great movie, but it was not a comic book movie. It felt like they kind of wanted to pull in a lot of marketing, like TAS-M, but really, they made it feel like more of a kid's movie at that point, not a comic book movie. It was a great movie as a movie, but not as a comic book movie.

There are plenty of flaws in that game, but man do I love it

ASM is the only one I enjoy.

I don't like Maguire and Dunst as Parker and MJ. I don't like the cheesy acting in the Raimi movies especially from the New Yorkers. Green Goblin, GG2 and Venom were crap. And organics will always suck entirely IMO.

For me:

1) Spider-Man & Spider-Man 2
3) Amazing Spider-Man
4) Spider-Man 3

The performances were much more gripping in Webb's incarnation. But the action was better in Raimi's films, particularily in SM2. That train sequence has yet to be topped. In terms of a film that has an overall unified vision, I feel SM2 wins. As great as some of Webb's more personal moment's were, his action sequences reverted back to Raimi at times, especially that crane sequence, which I feel is on par with Raimi's New Yorker's on the bridge.

As Far as getting Spidey's psychology, Webb wins hands down. I love the wise-cracking smart*** comic. Although Webb made the mistake that a lot of the comic writers make. It's one thing to riff on some cop, but to wisecrack against a Lizard creature you've never seen before is an epic fail. Peter is smart, not some idiot who can't recognise a serious threat. Especially one unknown. That drives me ape SH**in the comics and on film. It's just bad writing. Once Peter know's what he's dealing with and can accurately size up an opponent, then he would/should do it.
