It's Spider-Man: No Way Home week, so we at Tom'southward Guide have decided to spin our webs down retention way with all of the modern Spider-Homo movies. While you may exist like us and feel a need to rewatch them all before No Manner Home to remind yourself about the heroes and villains we met forth the way, we're guessing not everyone has effectually 15.5 hours (926 minutes to be precise) to spare.

Then, whether you've withal to watch No Way Home, or just saw it, here's our rankings of the best (and near skippable) Spider-Man movies. And that includes No Way Home, since we just saw information technology. We're not including the Venom movies, because those are Venom movies, even though the second 1 does tie in at the end.

And, yes, we're even including one of the best Spider-Man movies ever that doesn't have as strong a chance of making information technology to No Way Home. Because while we have no reason to think the animated Miles Morales from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Poesy is going to be in No Way Home, it's impossible to ignore its placement in the series.

Oh, and trying to decode the Spider-Man: No Fashion Dwelling postal service-credits scenes and understand the whole Spider-Human being: No Way Dwelling house on Disney Plus situation? We've got all the information out there.

7. Amazing Spider-Man 2

The Spider-Homo reboot wasn't as universally well received as the Raimi trilogy, just Astonishing Spider-Man still did a lot of interesting things with the webslinger. The sequel might as well have tossed all that into the Hudson.

ASM 2 falls into the same trap as the DCEU, with Sony trying to rush out their own interconnected superhero moving-picture show franchise and failing miserably. This isn't a picture nigh Spider-Human being; this is a spin-off car masquerading as a Spider-Man movie. At that place are also many villains, and teases meant to set upward villains for future movies, and in the end Sony tried to stuff so much into the motion-picture show that it doesn't manage to do anything meaningful.

At to the lowest degree Sony had the guts to kill off Gwen Stacey, and tie up some of the first movie's foreshadowing. - Tom Pritchard

6. Spider-Man 3

Spider-Man three is an undeniably messy film. The victim of intense studio interference, director Sam Raimi closed out his Spider-Human being trilogy with a critically panned 3rd entry containing as well many villains and an overstretched plot that never quite comes together.

Yet, there's something endearing nearly Spider-Man 3. Like the rest of the Raimi helmed trilogy information technology has become a treasure-trove for net memes. From emo Peter Parker dancing down the streets of NYC to James Franco (every bit Harry Osborn) giving the smuggest wink possible, Spider-Man 3 still pops up daily across social media.

It'due south by no means a good motion picture, and Venom's seriously mishandled inclusion still causes Spidey fans frustration more than a decade on, merely Spider-Man 3 has joined the pantheon of "so bad it's good" movies which has rightly earned information technology a reprieve of sorts.-- Rory Mellon

v. Amazing Spider-Homo

Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker just seems way too cool for the grapheme, he'south a skateboarding goof who manages to get a date with Gwen Stacy way too early in the flick, That said, Astonishing Spider-Human being won points on a contempo rewatching for both Garfield and Stacy's chemistry (far better than Maguire and Dunst's) and its pacing. The film focuses on re-telling Spidey'southward origin story, changing Uncle Ben'south death to give Peter even more guilt (Ben wouldn't even have been out there on the street were it non for Peter moodily running out).

And since Spider-Man's origin story is the main topic at hand, it's great to come across the film non do too much with its villains. Rhys Ifans plays Dr. Connors with aplomb, and The Cadger is a perfect starter-villain for Spidey, and Garfield's scenes with Ifans hit the right notes y'all demand with the traditional "Peter impressing his mentors" moments. That said, we're withal a little shocked at how fast and loose Peter's playing with his underground identity, as both Gwen and her father learn he'south Spider-Homo past the end of the movie. -- Henry T. Casey

4. Spider-Human

A perfectly good movie for its time, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man gets both Peter Parker and Spider-Man right in ways that helped make anybody have notice of the growing genre of comic book movies.

Unfortunately, this beginning foray tries to do manner too much in likewise niggling time. Don't get us wrong, we'll still applaud at the stuff he gets right, with Peter facing off confronting Bonesaw (every bit played by Macho Man Randy Savage) in a pro wrestling ring, and the very cheeky stuff scene of Peter discovering his powers. Merely packing in the Spidey origin story and all of the Norman Osborn story beats (both becoming the Greenish Goblin and then dying) in the same pic? It all feels way too rushed.

Maguire played Parker well, but the large issue with this motion picture is the over-acting from both of the men behind the Osborn family proper noun. Willem Dafoe'south version of Osborn is delivered with a wink and two nods, practically screaming "yeah, he'south bad!" Meanwhile, James Franco's Harry is well-nigh an SNL character, including how it seems like he's constantly at risk of laughing at his ain dialogue. That said, Cliff Robertson and Rosemary Harris nail the roles of Ben and May Parker, which aid ground Tobey Maguire's aw-shucks have on Pete in their wholesomeness. -- Henry T. Casey

4. Spider-Man: Far from Domicile

The Tom Holland Spider-Homo movies stand out the most from the pack when they're more tightly tied into the MCU. Such is the situation here, where we showtime off post-blip, with Peter struggling with his bonds with his friends and … colleagues? What would y'all call Nick Fury and Spider-Man's human relationship, anyways?

You could argue that Spider-Human being movies are better when they're stand-alone, and telling just Spider-Man stories, but the overarching continuity has helped develop Kingdom of the netherlands's Peter Parker, with the loss of Tony Stark. Non to mention how the blip made high school life even more complicated.

Either fashion, the bond betwixt Peter, Ned and MJ, is the true story of this flick — every bit the chemistry betwixt these kids on screen is much more conceivable than any of the previous Peter Parkers'. Peter's struggling to tell MJ about his feelings for her, and the weight of it all is just starting to wearable him down. While Maguire's Spider-Man was built around guilt, with anybody upset with him for existence absent, Holland'southward Peter Parker builds upwards that nervousness internally, and it's less agonizing to watch.

Of form, we also get a true Spider-Man moral dilemma, where he (of course) makes the wrong selection. Manipulated by Quentin Brook, Peter gives upward the super-smart glasses and sets upwardly a calamitous third act. And the stakes are raised even more hither, equally Peter doesn't take Tony Stark's help anymore, and all the Avengers are off recovering from Endgame. A actually fun road trip adventure movie, and one I have a hard fourth dimension proverb anything negative about. -- Henry T. Casey

3. Spider-Man: No Manner Dwelling house

In curt: we really liked Spider-Human: No Way Dwelling house. It's not the all-time Spider-Human being picture show ever, just ... well, to avoid spoilers, it's difficult not to be impressed by Marvel'due south guts in even attempting to make a movie on the scale of Spider-Man No Way Home, let alone to have actually pulled information technology off in such style.

Maybe we shouldn't exist shocked. Curiosity always nails its big tentpole/crossover movies and that's certainly the case here. No Way Domicile isn't just a solid decision to the (commencement?) Tom Holland trilogy, simply a celebration of Spider-Man/Peter Parker as a graphic symbol exploring what makes him who is and what being a friendly neighborhood hero actually means.

From the punchy comedic beats to the tear-jerking emotional moments (there are more than y'all might expect), No Way Home succeeds at nearly everything it attempts. Plus, the film is anchored by Holland's best performance as Spidey yet, and the supporting bandage, in particular Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, step up to the plate as well.

No Way Home's thrilling action sequences cannot be ignored, equally several rival those found in the most recent Avengers movies. They're almost all inventive, easy to follow and merely downright cool. As far as comic-book movies go, No Way Home is a consummate super-powered bundle (and the one big Spider-Human: No Fashion Home Easter egg has some potential ramifications, too). - Rory Mellon

2. Spider-Man: Homecoming

The prospect of the third Spider-Human in less than a decade might have raised a few eyebrows, but Marvel Studios proved they could make information technology work. Not just does this requite Tom Holland'southward Spider-Homo a time to shine on his own, it manages to practice what few MCU movies accept achieved: having a bang-up villain.

Nosotros dearest Tom Holland, merely Michael Keaton's Vulture is the real star of the movie. Adrian Toomes wasn't built-in bad, he was just screwed by the human and had few other options. At that place's plenty to relate to here, though we don't accept an regular army's worth of alien tech to fund our hypothetical criminal ways.

Nosotros also get the sense that Peter is the young naive hero that still has a lot to learn, rather than the mature fully-formed superheroes of previous generations. That, combined with the much lower stakes that don't involve some villain trying to destroy New York, mean this movie hits all the right spots. - Tom Pritchard

1. Spider-Human being 2

More proof that the second chapter of a superhero moving-picture show serial is often the all-time, Spider-Human 2 thrives because Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker is now gratis to explore an established earth. This includes getting fired from a pizza delivery gig pretty early on on, in a nice memorable scene that was indicative of director Sam Raimi'southward beloved of casting known actors in bit roles (both The Daily Prove's Aasif Mandvi and Bones' Emily Deschanel make the most of their relatively few lines).

And while the drama betwixt Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson (who's engaged to John Jameson, J. Jonah Jameson's son) and Harry Osborn (who blames Spider-Human being for his father's death) always threatens to derail the film into a soap opera, Raimi e'er gets things back on runway. Generally that's due to the excellent piece of work of Alfred Molina as Dr. Otto Octavius, whose mentorship of Mr. Parker is lightning in a bottle-nifty.

Raimi's expertise in the horror movie aesthetic shines hard in this movie, every bit he makes Doctor Ock'south tentacles truly horrifying. While it may all play a little camp through today's lens, this was the early days of comic book movies, and a major success for the genre. -- Henry T. Casey

0. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Okay, we can explain. Nosotros're ranking Spider-Poetry as #0 considering it'due south arguably the very all-time Spider-Man movie, but pitting Spider-Man into the Spider-Poetry confronting its live-activity counterparts is akin to comparing apples and pineapples. After all, the Oscar-winning blithe feature is completely dissimilar from the Spider-Homo movies that came earlier information technology, but we couldn't pass up the adventure to give the Spider web-Caput'south best flick some dear.

Different The Amazing Spider-Human, Spider-Man into the Spider-Poesy solved the trouble with retelling a superhero'due south familiar origin story by introducing audiences to a whole new Spider-Homo in the course of Brooklyn teen Miles Morales. This child has a whole dissimilar set of problems to Peter Parker simply is notwithstanding as every bit compelling.

Spider-Verse sees Miles non merely discover his ain inner hero but besides team upward with Spider-Men (and Spider-Gwen and Peni Parker) from across the multiverse. There's even the literal cartoon swine Spider-Ham. It's an take a chance that could accept been annoyingly outlandish fifty-fifty in animated form, but the creative team pulled it off spectacularly.

Special credit must go to the flick's unique animation way, which somehow manages to capture the distinctive visual linguistic communication of comics on celluloid. The first trailer for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2 surfaced earlier this month, and we already can't wait to return to the universe where anyone tin can vesture the mask. -- Rory Mellon
