As a kid I watched those movies and liked it but recently I rewatched them again and it's overrated trash. Plain, boring, bad acting at times, etc. I never watched any other Spider Man movies btw

Third one is unbelievable garbage and quite a bad end to what otherwise would've been a good trilogy. I barely remember the first movie but the second one was pretty nice.

I think people use the word trash too easily. That's a powerful insult, to compare it to literal garbage. You don't think it's that bad, do you? As bad as a wadded up piece of tissue or an old tin can or a wad of used chewing gum, do you? Nothing in it of any more value than to literally throw it away?

Thinking it's overacted or boring or not standing out to you is one thing; those arent specific but they are complaints someone watching a film clips have, and a superhero film clips definitely have overacting.... but the internet has made us grab onto buzzwords like "trash" too easily.

You don't have to be that hostile towards it and it's fans to say you don't think it's good.

Minus the third one being pretty rough, the first two are classics 100%.

There is a social commentary in here somewhere about the MCU effect and you can't just care about one hero at a time, we need Iron Man and Dr Strange and teases of future movies and villains to be entertained in our increasingly distracted primate brains

the first one is kind of hokey and silly but in a fun way. i wouldnt call it boring, maybe a little overrated

the second movie is very good all around. on the upper tiers of superhero movies

the third movie is bad but i think just about everyone realizes that, so it's certainly not overrated and the last thing in the world you could call it is boring, it's incredibly hammy and over the top to the point where it becomes a so-bad-it's-good sort of thing

so in conclusion no

No they are good. But they arent the second coming like people treat them as and frankly the mcu movies surpassed them.

2 is the only one that stands against those. Theres a ton that gets firgiven in those movies that get dragged in modern cbms

I was never enchanted by them. They're fine (the first two), but outside a couple of moments they never really stuck with me. Seeing the first one in the theater was a cool experience, but I never went out of my way to rewatch them outside of nothing else being on TV.

There's an internet trend where people try to argue that it's good, much like the Star Wars prequels.

So many people go UMMMM ACKSHULLY PETER ACTS DUMB AND GOOFY WHEN HE'S INFECTED WITH THE SYMBIOTE BECAUSE THAT'S JUST WHAT HE THINKS COOL PEOPLE DO like that actually changes the fact that it's a garbage scene.

1 and 2 are still classics for me to this day, but I don't think for the reasons people hype them up for.

They're just goofy, silly and fun as hell to watch with the villains and some of the supporting cast having great performances. But I do think "Star Wars prequel effect" is in play where people are overglorifying them because they're a fountain of memes. I think the Holland movies overall are more emotionally gripping and better written.

The hospital room scene is still some of the scariest movie scenes you will find outside of an r rated movie.

There's a lot of interesting takes in this topic. The Raimi Spider-Man movies are great. The third one really needed to just focus on Sandman. Way too many villains in the movie.

I liked them well enough when I saw the first 2, cackled like a loon when I saw the 3rd, and loved seeing No Way Home include them into the multiverse.

That said, yeah, they were not my favorites. I've had no desire to revisit them. I think a lot of it has to do with me not being a big fan of either Tobey or Kirsten as actors in general. Dunno why I never liked them that much in movies, honestly.

I recognize those first 2 movies as being good and influencing a lot of superhero movies we have now, but as I said, I've not had much desire to revisit them.

I will say the Spider-Man movies aged a fuck of a lot better than the original 3 X-Men movies.

Like I think I tried to watch X-Men 1 last year and the tone of the movie was so fucking odd to me. Like it was trying to be edgy and "cool" but still had really dumb, campy comic book shit in it.

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone were so much better it isn't even funny. For all the flaws The Amazing Spider-Man movies had, those two made those my favorite Spider-Man movies.

20 years later though the X-Men trilogy holds up better, especially visually. The special effects in the Spider-Man trilogy, especially the second, look cartoony at times, and there's a LOT of overacting or just plain bad acting.

Spidey may have been better when the movies first came out but it's aged like fine milk.

I think we're far enough away from them that nostalgia is starting to kick in and people are remembering them being better than they were, but they (well, the first two at least) were really good for the time.
