There have been many "Spider-Man" movies that have come out since 2002. With nine movies in total, there have been three actors who have portrayed Spider-Man: Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. 

Recently there has been an ongoing question mostly on social media, specifically since "Spider-Man: No Way Home" has come out and that is: Who is the best Spider-Man? 

I think each actor did a great job portraying Spider-Man. I thought Tobey Maguire’s version was cool because it was the first-ever movie that came out after the comic books. He played a really good Spider-Man but wasn’t the best Peter Parker in my opinion. 

Andrew Garfield was next in the movie series I also really enjoyed his movies. He played both Spiderman and Peter Parker really well, and I liked how they went into his backstory more in the first movie. 

Lastly was Tom Holland and I think his performance was really good. His version of Spiderman was overall one of the strongest and he was a part of more movies which I think is cool. 

However, I think Andrew Garfield was the best Spider-Man. After watching all the movies I really enjoyed "The Amazing Spider-Man," and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2". I think he played both Peter Parker and Spider-Man really well.

This was a really tough decision, I was torn between Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield because I also really enjoyed the Spider-Man movies with Holland. I think he had some of the better villains and also portrayed Peter Parker really well. Overall though, I think there were a lot more aspects in Garfield’s Spider-Man that made it better. 

One of the things that were better in my opinion in Andrew’s movie was his suit. While Tom Holland had a suit that talked to him, I like how Garfield’s Peter Parker made his own suit and webs, a bonus was that it also looked really cool. 

I also enjoyed Andrew Garfield’s movie more because I think he had great chemistry with his castmate Emma Stone who played Gwen Stacy. I think their chemistry was one of the reasons the movie was so enjoyable. 

After watching the movie I was really invested in the characters. Garfield’s performance, especially in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" was really affectionate, especially in sad scenes. 

Overall, after watching the Spider-Man movies I think Andrew Garfield was the best Spider-Man.
