My buddy and I call our podcast "Franchise Wars", where we try to do more than just talk about movies, and instead put them against each other, usually sticking to a single franchise. We've done Revenge of the Sith vs Rogue One, Batman V. Superman vs Suicide Squad, and now, we're going to do the Spider-Man movies. We both grew up with the original Raimi films, and have different opinions on the successors. We want to do a multi part episode, first picking the top two to challenge each other in a "finals" match, and beyond that to rank the other four films.

So, feel free to rank the films here: http://www.polljunkie.com/poll/fcegqy/spider-man-movie-ranking , and discuss why you ranked them so here.

6. SPIDER-MAN 3 - It's not that there's nothing worthwhile here, it's that it's pretty bad and very disappointing considering all the stuff it had to work with in Harry as a Goblin, Venom, and Gwen Stacy.

5. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 1 - This felt the most redundant for the villain's storyline and overall plot structure, but at least it didn't have Topher Grace as Venom.

4. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 - They really did try to change some of their mistakes from the first film, and once Electro's done being nerdy and just is evil, I enjoy it. And while Dane Dehaan may be an aquired taste with too much time considering the he over stuffed nature of the film, I personally like his acting job in the film as Harry.

3. SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING - A strong film with a great villain in vulture and a good judgement on how to use High School hijinks for fun. I love this film and can't wait to see more, but...

2. SPIDER-MAN 2 - I know some people love this as the creme-de-la-crime of the Raimi films... But I personally like its rival better. Doc Ock is great, but a bit too cheesy in a few scenes for me.

1. SPIDER-MAN 1 - Two words: Willem DeFoe.
 
1 - Spider-Man 2
2 - Spider-Man: Homecoming

4 - Spider-Man 3
5 - The Amazing Spider-Man

Current rankings:

1st place: Spider-Man 2 (score: 1.9)
2nd place: Spider-Man (score: 2.0)
3rd place: Spider-Man Homecoming (score: 3.2)
4th place: Amazing Spider-Man (score: 4.1)
5th place: Spider-Man 3 (score: 4.6)
6th place: Amazing Spider-Man 2 (score: 5.2)

Biggest thing I notice is how the first two Raimi movies are neck and neck; it seems there's no real quality drop off between them... Unlike once you drop below the third place Homecoming, where there is some small distance between the three bottom rankings.
 
Okay, guys, the part one podcast, talking about the bottom 3 films, is up. If you want to hear how the poll turned out, alongside some ranting about Venom and Andrew Garfield, go here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/132209/642287-spider-man-tournament-the-bad-and-the-ugly.

Up next, we've got a showdown strictly between the top three films: the first two Raimi films and Homecoming. I'm asking everyone to vote again, since we had at least one or two people who voted one of the bottom three above that. We're going to do the second podcast next week.

Top three voting: http://www.polljunkie.com/poll/zkwtrb/spider-man-movies-best-of-the-best

And, if you want to take another crack at the bottom three movies, or if you want to get in on the action after we're done, go here: http://www.polljunkie.com/poll/jsawin/spider-man-films-best-of-the-worst
