Spider-Man - Watch Order: Raimi Trilogy
Sam Raimi's original Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire defined superhero cinema for a generation and launched the modern comic book movie era. These films perfectly capture the earnest, neighborhood hero spirit of Peter Parker while delivering groundbreaking action sequences and genuine emotional depth.
This watch order focuses on the complete Raimi era, from Peter's origin story through his battles with Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Venom. The trilogy's blend of spectacular web-slinging action, heartfelt romance, and Raimi's distinctive visual style created the template that influenced superhero films for decades to come.
