The result is a fast-paced, audience-approved blockbuster that keeps the fan service zooming coming at you as frequently as the "thwip" of webs. Not to mention that Keaton's involvement with Birdman - and that film's director's less-than-generous views on superhero films - makes it that much more delicious that Marvel Studios cast Keaton as another bird man.
Keaton plays villains well, and more directors should cast him as bad guys. The casting of Michael Keaton as the Vulture adds a nice bit of brilliance.
Knowing that Tom Holland's Spidey exists in the same world as Thor and Captain America makes it feel that much more precarious for the young hero when he's the only one trying to take down the Vulture, even though it's all of those other heroes' stuff the guy's trying to steal. The same can be said of Iron Man's involvement in the story. And unlike the Maguire Parker, who was almost completely friendless, Holland has his own small circle of outcasts - but the fact that he has friends highlights exactly how alone he is when he puts on the suit. For a tour through this mix of all the Spidey features, the spinoffs, and even a parody, here's every Spider-Man movie, ranked worst to best.īy dialing down Parker's age, we get a much better look at what it's like for Peter to be a superhero and a teenager. We've had three different actors - Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland - portraying Spider-Man in live-action films, as well as Shameik Moore voicing Miles Morales in "Spider-Verse." That's four different versions of Spider-Man leading this renaissance in roughly 20 years (not counting all of those "Spider-Verse" alternates, of course). Some of these projects have been spectacular, some of it has been meh, and some of it has been downright awful. It is absolutely staggering to consider how far it has all come since then, much of it led by our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.Įven if you don't count the comics, the video games, or the animated shows, the last few decades have brought us a mixed bag of Spider Guys. Flash back to the late '90s, a time when Marvel was in bankruptcy, Hollywood considered superhero films poison, and even the likes of James Cameron couldn't figure out how to bring the webhead to the big screen. Heck, let's face it: Spider-Man has had a big century. The animated " Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" was a huge hit, Spidey offshoot " Venom" broke October sales records even though it was panned by critics, and Peter Parker's dusty death was one of the most lamented moments of "Avengers: Infinity War." Outside the theater, the PS4 exclusive video game "Spider-Man" decimated competition and proved the fastest-selling Marvel game of all time.
