I think they're great films - especially the first two - and think of them as the definitive cinematic take on the character in the same way I do the first couple of Christopher Reeve Superman films. I have a sealed Blu-ray trilogy steelbook that's been sitting on my shelf for a long time, so perhaps I need to watch it soon and appreciate it in HD. Oh yes, it will be interesting to see how it compares with the Venom film you've just watched. This was my first time out with Andrew's first film and I'm so glad to have finally seen it. I'll probably wait to watch the second if and when it becomes free to view on Prime or iPlayer. I'm less enthused about that one because I really dislike Electro being so very different from the comics version I remember. But I'll certainly give it a whirl.Yes, there are definite pros and cons to each. I keep vacillating on my definitive Spidey and I'm even thinking we haven't met him yet. Perhaps that will come with the next reboot/recast in five or ten years' time. For me I think it might work the other way round. Because my first impact was of him being hyped up to the point of annoyance that's my main memory of his portrayal. When I watch the next film or re-watch the first, I'll probably have quite low expectations and I may end up enjoying him more than I expect.</blockquote>
