Spider-Man Movies Highs and Lows

It's been a while since I did a high-low list. Well since this series has now had its sixth film – and third re-imagining – I think now would be a good time to take a look at the best and worst of the Spider-Man movies. And unlike the other high-low lists I've done, this one is after the new film's release so expect to see elements from Spider-Man: Homecoming here. Enjoy!
