I used to complain about the Raimi films and now I find myself disappointed in the reboot's reception and execution.

How many others can relate?
 
I think SM1 and SM2 are ok as is TASM1 and that one is nominally my favorite of the 3. SM3 and TASM2 suck. That being said, there is such a monumental room for improvement with all of them that I haven't gone back to revisit ANY of them since they were in theaters. I don't love them and I don't miss them. I just don't care much about them. They left too little of an impression.
 
First two Raimi films great. Since then the movies have been a bit rocky to say the least. There are things here and there that I can find enjoyment from, but overall not terribly happy with the movies since their peak with SM2.
 
Blast I accidentally voted for the Marc Webb option. I don't like his ones. I vote for Sam Raimi. He did it right with his first two Spider-Man films.
 
Nope I am satisfied I don't think we have had a bad sm movie yet. Sm 1 was great for its time but has aged badly so now it is just good. SM 2 is the second best CBM ever. Sm 3 didn't live up to the hype but is still a slightly good movie. ASm1 same has like sm 3 and asm2 is great and the most underatied movie of all time.
 
Raimi captured the character perfectly. Marc Webb/Sony took a dump on him.
 
Since the day this reboot was announced I have said it was a bad idea. When we started to see and hear ASM2 stuff, I said it would be awful. Now even Sony apparently agrees.

Raimi 100%. New series blows.
 
Raimi has given us films with great cinematic elements. Minus SM3, his movies are the most complete out of all the Spider-Man films with excellent stories, action, editing, drama, etc. SM2 is the highpoint. His movies also feature the best use of the villains, so far. But...the areas that I felt his films suffered are within the characterizations. Peter was too much of a caricature, MJ was a waste, Spidey was too stiff, Ock too sympathetic, etc.

Webb's films feature the best live-action version of Spider-Man and also the best on screen chemistry between the leads. The actors filling most if not all the roles have a great deal of talent, unfortunately many did not get to exploit those talents. The cinematography looked gorgeous and Spidey has never looked so good flying thru the air. But...Webb's films suffer in almost every other area. The villains are a complete joke, the editing is horrid, although the characterizations were good for the most part--they were ruined by either lame/unecessary/unjustified deviations from the source or editing characters to death i.e. removal of Connor's family, or just complete removal of certain important characters altogether, i.e. Uncle Ben in ASM2, etc.

I voted Yes, that I am dissatisified with all the movies. I either have to pick to watch a Spidey movie that features a great Spider-Man and is on the whole a bad movie or watch a film that is very good but features a Spider-Man that is lacking.

I'll be satisifed when I can have both. In the same film.
 
Hi there everyone. :) To me both movie series have been a similar experience: I was enjoying Raimi's trilogy so much with the second film... and the third ruined it completely. Then I was enjoying Webb's take so much with the first movie.... and the second one ruined it completely. :( Cheers.
 
I really like SM2, but it's not a classic, it's not even great. Some great moments like the epic train sequence, but five films in we've yet to get a truly great Spidey film. So about where Batman was after four films.
 
Raimi's SM 2 was good and Webb's TASM was good, so both had made only one good movie each.
 
None of the Spider-Man movies is great imo, I enjoy them all, but none of them is a favorite of mine.
 
If we could get a sm movie with the villain and action and story of sm2 but with the acting and sm characteristic like sm in asm2 and the soundtrack of asm2 we would basicly have the pefect sm movie.
 
The soundtrack of ASM2? Nah. Give me Elfman all day erry day.
 
Raimi made 2-and-a-half good Spidey films. Webb has only made half a good Spidey film.
 
Raimi made one brilliant, one great, and one average Spider-Man movie. Webb's were just bad. So I've been satisfied twice by the Spidey movies.

I liked elfmans main theme a lot more but the rest of the asm2 soundtrack was better then the sm 2 soundtrack.

All the other Spider-Man movie soundtracks, even TASM 1's, beat TASM 2's.

I'd disagree on the soundtracks thing in regards to TASM1, I thought it was pretty close to Elfmans.

TASM2 is a bit generic and dubsteppy, but Its got its gems
 
I enjoy ASM1 over the Raimi films (poorly cast and corny tone/dialogue/acting).

But none of the SM films make my top 12 CBM which is inexcusable since I consider myself a Spider-man fan.
 
The first Raimi film is still one of my favourites. Flaws and all. It had so many great moments and the ending is one of the best in the genre.

It was one of the very few semi decent things about that movie.
 
I think 2 is good, but not great. Every time I watch it I like it less.
Spider-Man 1 has aged really bad for me and the Webb series isnt good
