Love it or hate it, Rotten Tomatoes is now more important than ever when it comes to whether moviegoers decide to check out the latest releases in theaters (well, when they were still being released in them), and it's not uncommon for studios to tout scores as proudly as star ratings.

Recently, we took a look at how the Batman movies all compare on the review aggregator, and you guys enjoyed that so much, we've now decided to do the same for another iconic comic book movie franchise: Spider-Man. The 2002 movie was a game-changer for this genre, and what's followed has been a compelling, amazing, and sometimes even disappointing journey for the web-slinger.

We haven't included Spidey's cameo appearances in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, but you will find his other movies, their scores, and what we think of them.

10. Venom

Score: 29%

Rotten or Fresh? Rotten

Critics Consensus: Venom's first standalone movie turns out to be like the comics character in all the wrong ways - chaotic, noisy, and in desperate need of a stronger attachment to Spider-Man.

Spider-Man didn't appear in Venom, but it's still very much a "Spider-Man" movie. After all, Eddie Brock is one of the wall-crawler's greatest villains; it's just a shame that Sony Pictures and director Ruben Fleischer failed to do the character justice! Tom Hardy's zany performance was a sight to behold and the Symbiote looked great, but this felt like it should have been released in 2005.

9. The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Score: 51%

Rotten or Fresh? Rotten

Critics Consensus: While the cast is outstanding and the special effects are top-notch, the latest installment of the Spidey saga suffers from an unfocused narrative and an overabundance of characters.

What a mess. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 tried to cram way too much in, with Electro and a terrible new take on the Green Goblin serving as the lead villains, and the death of Gwen Stacy crammed in...just 'cause? The costume looked great, but Marc Webb's sequel completely lost the plot (literally) and the groundwork it laid for what was supposed to come next did not look at all good.

8. Spider-Man 3

Score: 63%

Rotten or Fresh? Fresh

Critics Consensus: Though there are more characters and plotlines, and the action sequences still dazzle, Spider-Man 3 nonetheless isn't quite as refined as the first two.

A disappointing end to Sam Raimi's trilogy, Spider-Man 3 screwed up both Venom and Sandman. Making the latter the murderer of Uncle Ben was a baffling, weird move, and cramming Venom in at the last-minute was real Avi Arad move. It's still hard to believe things could get this bad after Spider-Man 2, but perhaps the only place was down after such a spectacular second instalment?
