Best Movie: Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, or Spider-Man 3?

[Warhammer]

I didn't see this, so I will start a thread.
I will also make this thread PUBLIC, so people can see what other people voted for.

With that said, Spider-Man 2 wins by a longshot, with Spider-Man coming in 2nd, and Spider-Man 3 coming in dead last.

Here is what I think:

Spider-man: (8/10)

This is the most fun of the three movies to watch. It has my favorite Spider-man villain and handles him very well. The origin story is told very well and its pretty fast paced, gives me a great sense of nostalgia and the special effects hold up very well to day. The movie was a little formulaic in story- good vs. evil, villain and hero origins etc, but it was a fun, well made, entertaining movie.

Spider-man 2: (9/10) As a film, this is the best of the franchise. It has its weak moments, its pointless or slow scenes, but it is a very interesting story with great action, an amazing villain and an interesting story for Peter.

Spider-man 3: (7.5/10) This is a REALLY good movie. People really aren't giving it a lot of the credit it deserves. This is most likely the last Rami, Maguire, Dunst Spider-man film and probably the final Spidey flick for the next five years or so if they don't return. They tried to please the fans in every way. And the "jam-packedness" isn't even a complaint of mine. The goofy humor spurred on by the black suite (mainly just the dancing) is what took away from the movie. If this stuff was cut from the film, it would be an 8.5/10 in my opinion. The film does a great job with it's story of redemption and forgiveness, and has great action and effects. I really liked Brock, though I wish the bulk of Venom's lines weren't ixnayed. Sandman is becoming one of my favorite villains of the series while I feel that Harry's Goblin is my favorite. This film was great and I haven't stopped thinking about it since I've seen it. Can't wait to see it again and in IMAX and for the DVD.

I'm gonna get flak for this, but S-M3. I find S-M2 to be slightly overrated.

 

[DyeLorean]

Today, Spider-Man 2.

[Havok83]

SM2 is defiently overated. SM1 was the best followed by SM3

[FlawlessVictory]

Spider-Man 2 is the best of the bunch. Then SM1 and lastly SM3.

 

[Catman]

I know I'm in the minority but my favorite is the original. Its simply the most fun to watch.

 

[SLYspyder]

Spider-Man 3 owns Spider-Man 2 which owns Spider-Man 1

as great as people think 2 was, the gab between the original is not much, if any....

id have to disagree with you on the black suit dancing thing. the part when peter is walking down the street and dancing and it shows all the other effects the black suit has on him(betty, talking to conners, etc) may be one of the best parts in the movie. i liked it because it was a side of peter we've never seen before. and the whole part with harry like when peter says "look at little goblin jr, you gonna cry?". i loved that cuz peter isnt like that, but thats what the black suit brings out. i also liked the club danicng part just cuz he was being a total d**k. all those parts werent trying to be serious, they just showed his arrogance. that is one of the things that set this movie apart from the others, and thats why spider-man 3 is my favorite in the series.

Spider-Man 2 was very emotional, yes, but also very boring indeed...the wait I had to take for another Spider-Man/Doc Ock fight was awful...almost a full hour, it was terrible.

Spider-Man: 8/10
Spider-Man 2: 7/10
Spider-Man 3: 8/10

P.S. People hate the walking down the street dancing part in S-M 3...I liked it and thought it was necessary...we've seen how the symbiote turns him evil, but during that part, we see how the symbiote turns him arrogant and very cocky and very much into himself.

well storytelling involves setting up why people are fighting, not just throwin them in the cage and yellin 'action'! if they didnt setup the story then part 2 would be like 3...

1. Spider-Man 2: 10/10. As near a perfect superhero movie as ever there was.

2. Spider-Man: 8/10: The best origin movie upon release (Batman Begins has since usurped it) and still a lot of fun with th the unforgettable origin, since of fun wonder, perfect pacing and Willem Dafoe as a perfect Norma nOsborn.

3. Spider-Man 3: 7/10: A very fun movie with the depth of the first two and the characters more mature than before. It also has a big payoff at the end (albeit MJ finding out at the end of 2 was bigger) and great action and acting (the acting was damned, good people were just too blinded by tone to see it). It unfortunately suffers from one too many villains so it is overlyambitious and overlystuffed with not enough time given to either villain and while the comedy DID work perfectly, the movie may have been better without some of it. Also too many plot devices makes this one the most uneven and flawed. But still a good movie, with a great ending.

Dude, it was only about 35 minutes or so. And, you shouldn't have to rely on villain confrontations to keep you entertained.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Spiderman 1-9
Spiderman II-9.5
Spiderman III-7.5

 

[The Chris]

I'd probably give it to Spider-Man 3 because it's got emotion just like the scond one but it's also got more action scenes and is funnier.

Spider-Man-9.5
Spider-Man 2-10
Spider-Man 3-10

I know that may seem too fanish but that's how I feel about these movies. They're the best.

Yah...wasn't talking about the build-up...Peter loosing his powers was the part that bored me...Doc Ock was only in one scene during the whole thirty minutes of 'Spider-Man No More' part.

 

[XXTBWCXX]

Dude, it was only about 35 minutes or so. And, you shouldn't have to rely on villain confrontations to keep you entertained.

Dude; what a ridiculous word to call someone...

during the forty-five minute mark, we see the first fight...then after the hour and a half mark, we see the second...then immediately following the final battle...to make the sixty minutes through ninety minutes part better, Doc Ock should've challenged Spidey when he has no powers...that would've been interesting to see.

Dude; what a ridiculous word to call someone...

Actually, that remark deserves another two of these:

during the forty-five minute mark, we see the first fight...then after the hour and a half mark, we see the second...then immediately following the final battle...to make the sixty minutes throught ninety minutes part, Doc Ock should've challanged Spidey when he has no powers...that would've been interesting to see.

I don't know about you, but fight scenes are not the only thing that makes a movie tick for me. Thankfully, Sam Raimi thinks the same way.

It's why Spider-Man 2 works so well. Action and drama in nice mix, with plenty of character development which actually makes the confrontations mean something, and are not just eye candy.
