Favorite SM movie?

Spiderman 1 with Spiderman 2 in second and Spiderman 3 in a close third. I enjoyed Spiderman 3 alot
 
What bothered me with Spiderman 3 was that so much time was used on focusing on Peter Parker's struggles (didn't we cover this in Spiderman 2?), that the final battle seemed rushed.
 
The train fight scene in SM2 is one of THE highlights of many of these comic book movies we have seen in the past 10 years. Straight out of a comic book.
 
No. 1 was outstanding for really getting into the character of Peter Parker.

No. 2 really took all the themes of Spiderman to the next level.

No. 3 although still great, just had FAR too much story crammed into it. I wish that they removed the Sandman story completely and focussed on the symbiote and introducing Venom at the end of the movie.

I think Spidey 1 was the best. Spidey 2 was a little whiny, and 3 seemed like it was 2 different movies in one.
 
I just want to say something about the "peter player strutting his stuff" scene.

IT WAS GREAT AND WELL DONE.


(now there are exceptions to every rule so excuse my sweeping generalizations)

To me it seems the people that don't like it and want to bash it are embarrassed to watch it cause they're insecure in some way. Or are in the "i'm too cool" club to say they like it. The scene was done to be how PP would act if he let loose and let his anxiety's go.(dorky suave) Again that was well done, and it had GREAT music to boot. It flowed nicely from cuts to Ms. Brant and JJ. and PP's neighbor.(the "get me a cookie" bit was great) I dunno thats just how i see it. I went to this movie with some friends, my woman, and my daughter and everyone looked at each other and laughed when he was doing it. Like they recognized and related to PP in some way. Afterwards everyone at least mentioned it, despite being kinda let down overall with the movie. I applaund Raimi i think it worked incredibly and it's too bad the kiddies and people that didn't like it just didn't "get it" IMO. Back in the day i could totally see myself baked as hell or after a few cocktails doing the same thing. Again i'm sure there's some people that just don't like it no matter what. And also i think SM3 gets a bad rap in general, it was the weakest of all 3 but not the travesty some fans are making it to be.

Having said that.......

Now dig on this!!!

Spider-Man for me. It was my favorite comic movie before Iron Man and The Dark Knight came about....but it still remains number 3. Or 2 if you want marvel only.
 
Spider-Man 2, easily.

The first one is good, but it really featured some hokey action sequences and the Green Goblin design was flat-out embarassing. Doc Ock made a better onscreen villain anyway.

Spider-Man 3 is right up there with the two PIRATES sequels and the MATRIX sequels in legendary "WTF?" status.
 
1.) SM1 - Everything about it, I absolutely loved. It was the comic brought to life as it was always meant to be. Even the Green Goblin costume which so many people maligned as a "power ranger" outfit, I saw rather differently. Again, the Green Goblin is my favorite Marvel character, and I adored the outfit. I saw it as body armor, that he was outfitting himself to be the most fearsome and insurmountable foe NYC has ever seen. The customized helmet was the icing on the cake, personally. They even used very strict source material for the design of the mask.

The scene which instantly rocketed the already sterling film into my all-time favorites list is the conversation between Norman and the Goblin in front of the fireplace, with the Goblin mask perched atop the armchair. Brilliant.

2.) SM2 - What's not to like? Joel Siegel likely put it best when he said it set a new standard for the comic movie genre. Again, though, it comes down the the Villain, for me (surprise, surprise). Doc Ock was fantastic, and set apart well from the Goblin in terms of his motivation. I've said it before, the Goblin fully embraces what it means to be a villain, he knows that being the foil compelled by vice is buried deem within his soul. Every fiber of the Green Goblin's being is directed towards furthering his agenda to be the undisputed colossus of the criminal world. With Doc Ock, there's now a grey area. Sure, the guy's insane, but there are degrees to insanity, for example, while the Goblin's insanity brings him to do heinous deeds in service to his own narcissism, Octavius is trying to advance the good of all mankind... he just realizes he needs to break a few rules to get there first. There's a virtuous man with an "ends justifies the means" POV, and the Goblin who is willing to walk over as many corpses as he has to in order to reach his goal.

3.) SM3 - Well, this is the great film that could-have-been. The only thing, surprisingly, the ONLY thing that killed the movie for me was emo Parker. I found the Sandman entirely sympathetic, looking to fund his daughter's good health. Venom? Well, as is the complaint most people have, he just had too little screen time. I know Topher Grace wasn't the Eddie Brock everyone was expecting, but he was still good in the part. If Venom had come into the movie much sooner, I think many would have enjoyed it much more. Also, while it was nice to see Harry take up the mantle of the Goblin while haunted by the specter of his father, I think it was a bit much to see his fall from grace and then ascension and death all in the same film. It was just too much packed into too little time. Still enjoy it though, just that I feel we could have pulled a "Matrix sequels" there. Now I know some of you aren't going to agree, but I think it could have been a continuing narrative over two movies. That many actually have worked better and not have seemed like villain overload. Green Goblin II, Sandman, Venom, and Symbiote Spidey all sharing the same 2 hour story... it was a bit too much.

I'm pretty much with Scar
 
I love The Green Goblin. One of the coolest villains I've seen. I love the design more so then the comic one. But hey, thats just me.
