The 2002 version is better.

Its kind of a draw for me. The 02 one was the first and therefore the material was really fresh. But then the new one has some white hot chemistry between the leads and I'm interested to see what happens when MJ shows up in the next movie.

I never really liked Tobey Maguire as Spider Man, but I think the 2002 movie as a whole was better.

Both are excellent movies imo... I prefer the 2002 version though though. Andrew Garfield was pretty amazing as Spiderman though.

Haven't seen the new one yet. Definitely liked the old one, though. But Spiderman 3 ruined it for me. Topher Grace as Eddie Brock/Venom has to be one of the most baffling, and idiotic casting choices in the history of hollywood.

I thought he did a good job... I mean it is an adaptation and not supposed to be entirely accurate to the source material. I think the problem was that venom was forced in by the executives and should not have been in, in the first place. Topher Grace actually did a good job imo.

That's what bugged me so much about it. He did a good job. ...Playing the character they gave him. But they completely rewrote the character, to make him into someone Topher Grace could play. I felt like they weren't so much forcing in Venom, but rather, they were forcing in Topher Grace. So they rewrote Eddie Brock as a kind of snide, sarcastic douchebag (which Grace did play very well), rather than the body building football playing jock-type a$$hole he was. I just don't get why they did that, when (in my opinion) the movie would have been better with an accurate adaptation of Brock/Venom, played by just about any random hunk/tough guy.

I don't really like either.Spider man (2002) was a decent 7-8/10 movie, while the Amazing Spiderman (2012) was a mediocre super hero movie 5/10..

While the 2002 rendition of Spiderman will always hold a special place in my heart for being one of my favorite moves as a kid and getting me into Marvel/DC stories, it doesn't hold up as well as I'd like. The newer Spiderman is definately a more solid movie overall, with better leads, a better plot and generally less goofyness (ie. no green suited goblin flying around on Marty McFly's hoverboard). That being said, Spiderman 2 is still one of my favorite super hero films and is the pinical of the series (I don't even like to aknowledge 3).

that's what I was saying. Eddie Brock was originally a body building jock type guy, but Topher Grace obviously couldn't play that character, so, rather than casting someone else for Brock/Venom in spiderman 3, they rewrote the character into a snide, sarcastic dbag type, which Topher Grace could play.

Oh I see. I didn't see the "rather" part. I was about to die of lols if some one though that Topher Grace was a jacked up bodybuilder. Makes sense now :lol:

In the new one Uncle Ben is so stupid that it's unbelievable and ruins the immersion. I couldn't enjoy that movie because of him. Also, Andrew Garfield is way too hot to be picked on in high school, so that was unbelievable as well. A guy who looked like that would be popular by default.

I think they're both pretty much the same. I may give the edge to 2002 though,if only because it had a bigger impact back then

I saw The Amazing Spider-Man and I thought it was pretty good but I like Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man alot more, the universe just feels more alive and fleshed put than Garfield's version. The cast was better also, J.K. Simmons FTW. Fun fact, the reason why they didn't have The Daily Bugle in The Amazing Spider-Man was because they could not find a worthy replacement for J.K. Simmons.
I know Spider-Man 3 left a bad impression in people's mind but I doubt any Spider-Man movie could top Spider-Man 2. Which was almost perfect.

Not to mention the fact that Tobey's movies were just larger in scope and destroyed box office records. The Amazing Spider-Man did no where near the amounts of the first trilogy.

Dude, sh!t yeah. J.K. Simmons is a freakin boss. No one could have been a better J. Jonah Jameson. Pefect casting. Also, I about sh!t myself when first heard his voice in Portal 2. Made me so happy. And that whole section is so funny.

What records did the Spiderman moives "destroy" ? I don't think it surpassed Titanic (1997) in any number, nor Lord of the Rings: ROTK (2003) I do know that Spider 3 (2006) had the world's highest budget, surpassing Titanic, but not with inflation adjusted.

I honestly didn't know who J.K. Simmons was, but the way you guys talked about him I knew INSTANTLY that it would be the guy who was Peter Parkers boss in the office. I googled and it WAS HIM. He truly was an AMAZING character. Best guy in the Spiderman franchise, IMO.

2002. I felt the new one was trying way too hard to show the chemistry between Peter and Stacy. There was more lovey dovey moments than action imo.

Well, TASM released between Avengers and TDKR. All the hype were surrounding those. Sony chose a bad time to screen it imo. It still made good numbers though

Is it lame that I think the 2002 version is better because of the Bruce Campbell cameo? Screw it, I don't care, I'm saying it.

I don't see why the casting choice really mattered when Venom was a completely wasted character entirely. Main problem with Spiderman 3 it felt like it was the end and so Sam Raimi just thought I try to please all audiences and bring in everyone. It was just a pot of mashed up ideas that didn't really succeed. I liked Spider man 1 and 2 but I haven't seen the new one yet but I want to.

Well, the new one was not nearly as cheesey, and Andrew Garfield did a tremendous job playing awkward teenager Peter Parker, rather than Tobey Maguire's "Look, I'm an awkward geeky teenager and you can tell because I'm wearing glasses."

2012 version was the most hollow shambles of a movie. They failed.

2002 version is one of the great classics of superhero movies. There is no comparison. It's up there with Christopher Reeve's Superman.
