I know I've watched the Andrew Garfield ones, but I can't remember them at all.I'm starting one with my kids soon... it will also be the first time I watch Amazing Spider-Man 2
This is the correct take.I know I've watched the Andrew Garfield ones, but I can't remember them at all.

I think anything beyond a meh, positive or negative; to The Garfield Spider-man is a hyperbolic over reaction. They were fine. Some elements were actually improved upon Rami’s Spider-man. The biggest issue is/was that it was all a bit superfluous, so Sony wouldn’t lose the rights.
Yikes! Yeah, I didn’t even give Wolverine or Dawn Of Justice a chance. I pretty much gave up on Scott Snyder after Watchmen and Wolverine just looked terrible in the previews. I would rather watch Hugh Jackman in that Robot Boxing movie again than spend time with Wolverine.I'm aware of my tendency to overreact, for sure, and for what it's worth I only ever watched the first Raimi and hated it too. I think I had a special kind of high expectations for Spider-Man and didn't find them met. I would be curious to revisit them some time for sure. That said, the Garfield one ranks in my top 3 least favourite 21st-century superhero movie experiences (not necessarily top 3 worst films - but my own experiences), alongside X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice.

Maguire III is a strong contender to push Garfield I out of that spot.I'm aware of my tendency to overreact, for sure, and for what it's worth I only ever watched the first Raimi and hated it too.

All three bites at the Fantastic 4 apple have for sure been disasters.Maybe I have a higher tolerance for bad movies but none of the movies listed so far would be in my bottom 10 cinematic experiences. The only superhero movie I can think of off the top of my head that would make that list is probably the 2015 Fantastic Four, which is legitimately one of the worst films I've ever seen. If I have to choose between that and Zack Snyder, I'm going to go Snyder every time hands down.
I remember hearing about this special on a podcast. Now I've googled it and found the entire thing on youtube and am forced to bring it to your attention:Kinda off topic but It reminds me about how decades after the film was released, Warren Beatty, in an attempt to hold onto the rights to Dick Tracy; produced some weird TCM Special about the original movie where Beatty appeared in character as “Dick Tracy” so the rights wouldn’t fall back to the Tribune Co…and it worked!

I've only seen the 90s Dick Tracy once, so while I don't quite remember what angle he brought to the character then, this iteration seems to just be "Warren Beatty, but Yellow."
Y'all can hate all you want but this one scene is better than the entirety of The Amazing Spider-Man.
I agree, I don't think the Garfield movies are anything special, pretty "meh" overall. I think they tried to stuff too much into them and didn't give the plot pieces/supporting characters enough time. I just can't handle evil Tobey, something (read: everything) about the character drives me nuts.I think anything beyond a meh, positive or negative; to The Garfield Spider-man is a hyperbolic over reaction.
