Spider-Mancontinues to be one of Marvel’s fan-favorite characters, even after the somewhat ill-receivedAndrew GarfieldSpider-Man movies:The Amazing Spider-ManandAmazing Spider-Man 2. Tom Holland’s edition of the Marvel comic character has brought fans old and new back to the live-action versions of the web-slinger, and afterTobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s reappearancein Marvel’sSpider-Man: No Way Home, both former Spider-Men have received extra love from fans. Maguire being the first to bring the character to a major live-action film has always had a special place in fan’s hearts. Having to follow behind the largely beloved Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies was no easy task, and Garfield’s outings did not quite make the same impression when released.
But it seems that the tide is turning, asThe Amazing Spider-ManandAmazing Spider-Man 2, which feature Garfield as the Marvel icon, have been trending in Peacock’s “Top 10.” Audiences have been returning with a new perspective on the films and with continued support after Garfield’s reappearance as Peter Parker. Fans have also taken to Letterboxd to send love to the film after almost a decade since its release. Useremsays, “my love for andrew garfields spiderman is growing rapidly”, which seems to be the sentiment of many Spider-Man fans, both old and new.
Some fans who have, of course, enjoyedThe Amazing Spider-Manfranchise since the first film’s release in 2012, and have now expressed frustration with the delayed love for the film and Garfield’s performance. Userapollo1olsays, “Tired of people pretending like they were there. Andrew Garfield, you were always the best Spider-Man.”
Is There A Future For Andrew Garfield’s Amazing Spider-Man?
Other fans point out that Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone’s performances are the main reason for their love for the film. UserElyssa Radenzsays, “Watching again all these years later, and it just doesn’t hold up. I did enjoy some of the fighting sequences and I love Andrew and Emma. But that’s about it.“Joe Comeradds, ““I love Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in this movie. I think the main drawback for this movie is the villain is pretty mid and the whole plot is kind of hard to follow. I do think the acting is great it’s just the plot and script could be better but overall a great movie. (I think Andrew Garfield is my favorite Peter Parker).”
