However, he is among the Web Crawler’s most complex and tragic enemies, a contradictory figure who serves as a dark contrast to the cheery Spider-Man. As one of Spider-Man’s most underrated villains, the Lizard hardly ever receives the attention he deserves. Curt Connors/Lizard – The Amazing Spider-Man Still, he makes enough of an impression to be memorable, which is a triumph in and of itself, considering who his scene partners are. He has nothing to do except offer the occasional commentary and serve as another threat for the climax. Haden Church returned for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Marko’s storyline comes with enough saccharine to provoke diabetes, but he’s still the best villain in the movie. Thomas Haden Church puts on his sad puppy face throughout the entire film, and the VFX are convincing enough to sell the overall performance. S pider-Man 3 tries too hard to sell Flint Marko as a victim of circumstance, delivering a message as subtle as a hammer to the head.
Tragic villains can be compelling when given enough attention and development. Flint Marko/Sandman – Spider-Man 3 & Spider-Man: No Way Home Alas, this version of the Green Goblin can’t help but pale compared to Willem Dafoe’s perfect portrayal of the iconic villain. DeHaan gives it his all, and the film has some intriguing ideas about the Goblin’s design and purpose. The transformation is clumsy, rushed, and unnecessary it feels unearned, especially in a film already struggling with multiple plotlines, many of which dangerously dangle on the edge of nonsense. Driven mad by the serum that was supposed to cure him, DeHaan’s Harry goes from Peter’s friend to the Green Goblin in a matter of seconds. Not happy with having one villain, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 introduced another in the form of Dane DeHaan’s Harry Osborn. Harry Osborn/Green Goblin – The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Foxx is clearly having fun with the role, but it’s not enough to elevate the character or his performance, especially considering the great villains the Web Crawler faced in the Raimi trilogy. However, the film has no interest in developing his character, instead settling for using him as a mere plot device, and not a very good one. Foxx’s character is a combination of silly tropes and clichés that seem even more outdated in the actor’s hands.Įlectro is a visually interesting villain whose powers translate well to the big screen. He gives the best performance straight out of a 1985 movie the only problem is his film was made in 2014. Max Dillon/Electro – The Amazing Spider-Man 2Īcademy Award winner Jamie Foxx brought Max Dillon, aka Electro, to life in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Spider-Man 3 is already overflowing with characters and plot points getting rid of Brock, a character who contributes nothing in the end, seems like a no-brainer. Furthermore, Grace seems uncomfortable in the action scenes and, try as he might, he just can’t sell Brock’s transformation from regular jerk to superpowered one. Grace lacks the imposing physique to portray Brock convincingly, especially considering director Sam Raimi went the bully route with his take on the character. However, it’s undeniable that he was miscast as Eddie Brock in 2007’s Spider-Man 3. His work in That ’70s Show is proof enough, and later performances in the underrated Take Me Home Tonight and Home Economics confirmed it. From Willem Dafoe’s demented Green Goblin to Michael Keaton’s menacing Vulture, the friendly neighborhood’s villains are iconic and a great reminder of why Spider-Man’s films are among the best in the superhero genre … well, most of them, anyway. They say a hero is only as good as the villain he fights, and Spider-Man is living proof. Indeed, the Web Crawler has one of the best group of villains in the superhero genre.
