After the misfires that were the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man films, and two out of three varyingly disappointing Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films, what a treat it has been to see two films within a year and a half that perfectly capture much of what’s great about Spider-Man. These two films are of course
Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and this year’s
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (with special mention going to the 2004
Spider-Man 2, which is a superb overall film, if an inferior representation of the character).
