Sam Raimi introduced Tobey Maguire as the Spider-Man in the 2002 film. The actor continued to be everyone’s favorite superhero as he starred in three Spider-Man films until Sony introduced Andrew Garfield as the new Spider-Man in 2012. While the first two films were great at the box office and received positive critics’ remarks, the third film did not manage to live up to fans’ expectations. The film was highly criticized, leading Sam Raimi to decide not to work on another superhero film again.
However, even after over a decade, fans still love Maguire’s Spider-Man. While the film might not have been successful in impressing critics, one of the things about the movie is still highly popular among fans.
