Spider-Man (2002)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“…a reminder that screenplays are as crucial to superhero movies as casting and special effects.”

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“A throw-everything-at-the-wall movie, in hopes that something – the romance, the action, a villain maybe? – might stick.”

Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13
