Hello ComicBookMovie community! Hope you've all been doing great. So enough small talk, you're here about Spider-Man. Now every Spider-Man film has had some great action sequences, yes even Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and I'm here to discuss what I believe to be the best action sequence per film from the franchise. Now this isn't a top (instert number here) list and will be in the order of the films release. So enough with the introduction paragraph, Let's get started!
Abandoned Building Brawl - Spider-Man (2002)
The final fight between Spider-Man and Green Goblin is the best action sequence in the film. The fight is rough, intense, brutal, and you can really feel every hard-hitting punch Green Goblin is delivering to Spidey while Spidey attempts to just stay alive. Once Green Goblin threatens to kill everyone Peter loves you see Spider-Man just gather up all he has left to overcome the much stronger adverary. It's well shot, well choreographed and really cements Green Goblin as a brutal villain and Spider-Man as a hero who won't go down easily.
Train Fight - Spider-Man 2 (2004)
I think the majority of people who have seen Spider-Man 2, whether it's the extended or theatrical version, would agree the train fight sequence between Spider-Man and Doc Ock is the best in the film and possibly the best action sequence in any Spider-Man film to-date. The fight is amazingly choreographed, beautifully shot, and showcases both the amazing abilities of Spider-Man and a Doc Ock who can keep up with Spider-Man proving he is a worthy adversary. It's a great action scene that I'd go as far to as to say it's one of the best in the history of comic book movies.
Spider-Man's Revenge - Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Believe it or not Spider-Man 3 does have some nice action sequences. I for one loved Spider-Man's first confrontation with Sandman and even the fight between Harry and Peter, but the fight where Spider-Man and Sandman battle it out in the subway is the best in the film. It's rough, brutal, and very personal. This is Spider-Man's anger and the venom suit getting the best of him as he is trying to kill his uncles killer, Sandman. It's a good fight, not the best in the series, but the best in this film.
High School Fight - The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
The high school fight in The Amazing Spider-Man is possibly the highlight of this entire film for me. It's fast paced, well shot, amazingly choreagraphed and with some really great moments like the one in the image above and what many would consider the best Stan Lee cameo of all time. It's a really cool action sequence that showcases not only the abilities of Spider-Man, but the Spider-Man personality with the funny remarks towards his villains.
Power Plant Battle - The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
The final battle between Spider-Man and Electro is without a doubt the best action sequence in the entire film. This sequence I believe gives even the train fight in Spider-Man 2 a run for its money. The action is extremely fast paced, with slow motion showing us the little details, it showcases Spider-Man's abilities amazingly, it's awesomely choreographed, beautifully shot, with a satisfying conclusion to the battle that is foreshadowed in the middle of the film. It's just so well done in my opinion.
So there you have it! These are the actions scenes that I consider the best in each of the Spider-Man films. I'm so excited to see how Marvel Studios will top any of these action sequences. So what do you guys and gals think? Agree with my picks? Or do you have another action scene you prefer? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
