Or maybe I’m just a sucker for Emma Stone. She’s a great Gwen Stacy and Gwen was always Peters best love interest. But Tom Holland has blown all other Spider-Mans out of the water. Spider-Man 2 might still hold that place if not for its lack of Tom Holland and the scene where he shouts “Cmon Spider-Man!” To himself.

I just found nothing special about the whole thing. I'm actually a pretty big fan of some of Andrew Garfield's work, but he's just not a Peter Parker. Peter Parker is humble and introverted and when he becomes Spider-man he becomes a smart ass. Garfield is just too serious for either of those personalities.
To tell you the truth, I just don't remember much from the first film....A CGI battle with a lizard creature?
In the second one, Jaime Fox just felt weird and out of place as a super-villain, especially one that's pretending to be nerd. He's awkward, but not nerdy. Spider-man 2 actually had potential though. The casting was off, and the story had not heart though. I don't actually think the problem was too many villains. Spiderman actually works best when you've got a well integrated universe with multiple sub-characters going...it's pulling that off that's the challenge.
