14. The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
The first reboot of the Spider-Man cinematic franchise is roughly a retread of what’s come before, but it is bolstered by an absolutely captivating central love story between Garfield and Stone, who emerged from the production of this film as a couple. Garfield’s Spider-Man persona is probably the best representation of the character—a true sardonic asshole who is equal parts annoying and lovable at the same time. While we didn’t need a reboot this quickly after the Raimi films, the Marc Webb-directed flick leans heavily into his prowess as an indie director, putting the relationship elements front and center. It’s likely a little better than you remember, but still not quite in that upper tier.
