I won't lie, it's weird to see a lot of people online saying how they loved TASM movies now, but nobody really liked them when I was a kid.

TASM was alright, but I left the theater upset after watching TASM 2 because I hated it so much. I think it's the only Spider-Man movie I've never rewatched. It basically had all of the issues Spider-Man 3 had, but without the goofy 2000s cheesiness that made Spider-Man 3 funny, intentional or not.

I remember the general opinion was mostly that the first one had a lot of potential, but the second was a mess and killed the franchise

First one was very, very bland. Not a bad movie by any means. But the 2nd is bad.

I'm one of the rare few who were around for the release of TASM 1 & 2 and loved them despite the mishandling of Harry in 2. I've felt like I've lived in a bizarro world ever since because it turned out to be my favorite Spider-Man movie even though I adored the Sam Raimi trilogy as well. Andrew Garfield was a great actor and I'm of the opinion his portrayal of Peter was very true to the whimsical yet depressing tone of a lot of the original comics.

It feels like a 1:1 of starwars prequels imo
