In honor of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, we’re reviewing the three iterations of Spider-Man we’ve had through the decades. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to catch the newest film yet, but we plan on doing that soon. Watch out for that Theater Thursday episode! We didn’t watch any other films this week, but we do have some time to discuss the new trailer for Wicker. This trailer has really taken over social media and we are loving the hype. Give us more naughty Alexander Skarsgard!
In 2002, we were given Tobey Maguire as the original Spider-Man. This definitely looks and feels like it’s from the early 2000s, but honestly, the graphics don’t look horrible. Maguire and Kirsten Dunst have good chemistry here and the jokes land pretty well. Yes, we probably feel a sense of nostalgia with this one, but it’s far and away better than the reboot that came 10 years later. Unfortunately, Andrew Garfield as The Amazing Spider-Man doesn’t leave us very much to talk about. This was unsuccessful to us from top to bottom. From the CGI, the script, the chemistry, and the tone, this one was a hard watch. Just five years later in 2017, Tom Holland comes on the scene in Spider-Man: Homecoming. We both agree that Holland does the best as the character and that this version of the movie franchise is the most entertaining. It looks good, Holland seems to really fit into the role, and the whole thing actually feels pretty real (or as real as it can be). This was also a prime time for the MCU and it was cool to see how the Avengers were woven in.
