Watching "1" and "2" first makes "3" better.

[CFE]

Since I had Spring Break this week, I went ahead and took one of my open days to watch all three 'Spider-Man' films back to back.

Now, personally...the original "Spider-Man" is my favorite. And obviously, "Spider-Man 3" is my least...basically I enjoy the films in the same order of which they were released.

But I'll admit, watching all three films as a complete trilogy...actually makes the experience of "Spider-Man 3" somewhat better than just watching "3" on its own.

Does that put it on the same level of the first two films? Of course not...but basically all I'm saying is that watching the films as one continuous thing actually allows "3" to play better then to just watch it as a stand-alone picture. The ability to see the character developments over time for Peter, MJ and Harry enriches "3" a bit...IMO.

I like SM3 alot. It's a fun film. But SM2 is my holy grail of comic films. I'll definetly try to watch them back to back one day.

i agree to a point, i still feel SM3 is the best.

Watching Spider-Man 1 and 2 only compounds the fact of how inferior part 3 is.

Ive watched 2 and 3 but not 1! I know, its a crime!

I made a thread very similar to this just after the DVD release of the movie, watching all 3 back to back does make number 3 better and more enjoyable, it flows into the trilogy a lot more than it does when watched on its own for some reason.
