This week on The Popcorn Hour, Matt and James take on the impossible task of ranking every live-action Spider-Man movie, from the early days of Sam Raimi’s trilogy to the MCU era and beyond. The conversation breaks down what works and what doesn’t in each entry, looking at performances, direction, villains, action, and how each film understands the character at its core. Along the way, they debate nostalgia versus execution, how different eras of superhero filmmaking shaped these movies, and which version of Spider-Man best captures what makes the character endure. By the end, the rankings may not be definitive, but the discussion reveals why Spider-Man remains one of the most reinterpreted and argued-over characters in film history.
