Who is the greatest live-action Spider-Man: Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield or Tom Holland?
To settle the debate, I'm ranking all three Spider-Man actors across four different rounds:
1. The acting and performance
2. The origin story
3. How much they feel like a comic book Spider-Man
4. Their overall character arc
Each Spider-Man earns three points for first place, two points for second and one point for third. Then I'll add up the final scores and crown the definitive live-action Spider-Man!
Is Andrew Garfield the strongest actor? Does Tobey Maguire have the best origin? Is Tom Holland the most comic-book accurate because of the MCU? And who has the best overall journey?
My list is not the right list. It's just my list. Share your rankings and round-by-round winners in the comments!
