The seemingly invincible Spider-Man goes up against an all-new crop of villains—including the shape-shifting Sandman. While Spider-Man’s superpowers are altered by an alien organism, his alter ego, Peter Parker, deals with nemesis Eddie Brock and also gets caught up in a love triangle.
As a lifelong Spider-Man fan, I let the internet and public opinion convince me that this was the worst entry in the franchise. This re-watch was a much-needed reminder to always form my own opinion. I actually enjoyed this immensely- the suit designs are iconic, the web-swinging feels weightless and heroic, and Sandman’s character and VFX are genuinely impressive. It’s officially earned a spot in my Top 5.
