He couldn’t hack it in his own universe, but he’s great in this one.
movies landed with a thud relative to their predecessors Spidey films—perhaps not surprising, given that the impetus for them was that Sony didn’t want its license on the money-making character to lapse after Raimi and Maguire declined to return for a fourth movie. The studio quickly launched a reboot, recasting the lead and pivoting to a different storyline entirely.
Tom Holland won over fans thanks to his movies’ nostalgic whimsy and humorous bent, and thus, Garfield landed the title of “Worst Spidey” by default. Not that he hadn’t already held it, to my mind: His movies were tiresome and forgettable, and a grouchy Peter is not a Peter I want to root for. Garfield was playing a comic book character with a sad past as a forlorn teen with a tinge of darkness, and it didn’t help add fun to movies mostly bereft of it.
