Spider-Man (2002):Iron Man (2008):Both are very beloved comic book films that are about two very different comic book characters and both characters have very little similarities to each other based on who they are and how they are written in their particular movies. Spider-Man (2002) IS FAR more nostalgia to me considering it came out when I was 7 years old and it was the first ever comic book movie I ever saw in theaters and it got me into not just Spider-Man as a character, but comic books in general. But I also feel and STILL feel it did a good job of bring Spider-Man to the big screen and that it nailed Peter Parker/Spider-Man's origin to a T and Willem Defoe's Green Goblin is STILL the best comic book villian I ever seen in a comic book movie to this day (Sorry Doc Ock, I love you too), but Willem Defoe as Norman Osborn and one of Spidey's biggest enemies just simply rules. And who can forget Danny Elfman's Spider-Man theme? Compare this to Iron Man (2008), where it too does a great job of bringing Iron Man to the big screen and does a great job with his origin story...yet it has such a lackluster villian with Jeff Bridges' Obadiah Stane/Iron Monger and a completely forgettable film score (ignoring AC/DC's awesome music of course)-so my vote of course has to go with Spider-Man (2002).

This is a good matchup, but I have to go with Spider-Man 2002.

Iron Man and quite easily...I found Spider-Man to be a big, noisy nothing burger.

That's a real tough one, I think Iron Man will age better and Downey Jr played a much better part than Toby Maguire but I prefer Spider-Man.

Iron Man feels less dated, but a big part of the charm of the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films is in how unapologetically campy they are. Raimi went all out in making sure that the films would feel like you’re reading a comic book from the 60s and early 70s, which gave the films a distinct charm that I don’t think a lot of the MCU films have, especially not the first Iron Man film, which was somewhat grounded.
Anyway, I’ll go with Spider-Man.

‘Iron Man’ because it has much less blatant editing mistakes.

Iron Man. It's still my favorite MCU film and my second favorite superhero film. Even then in this poll, it's a 10/10 film vs an 8.5/10 film.

Spider-Man hands down they actually put effort in it and it payed off I would have liked Iron Man more if a better actor played Tony Stark and it was less campy

Spider-Man hands down they actually put effort in it and it payed off I would have liked Iron Man more if a better actor played Tony Stark and it was less campy So basically if you do not like a movie that means there was no effort put into it whatsoever by the filmmakers? Last I checked there quite a lot of effort put into the first Iron Man - nobody had made a movie on the character before and it was not a hot property to adapt, not only that but it was meant to start a cinematic universe of films and to say it wasn't successful in that regard would be pretty ridiculous given that 11 years later look where we're at now. Okay, I'll bite - who would you have wanted as Tony Stark? You keep saying Robert Downey, Jr. was so miscast but you've yet to actually list someone you think would have been a better fit. Do not say 'a more serious actor' that is not good enough. Also without RDJ's portrayal the movie wouldn't have been the hit that was it and made the character an A list superhero, food for thought, so name somebody that would've done just as good if not better in that regard. Both movies have their campy and serious moments, of the two Iron Man is probably the more serious though as its dealing with a less fantastical type of storyline.

And remember, ‘Iron Man’ was made without a proper script, so everyone was practically flying blind.

Spider-Man, because it’s so much fun.
I really like Iron Man for the most part, though.

He voted for a Sam Raimi film because he deemed the other movie too campy.

Spider-Man is my favourite CBM so it wins by default. Iron Man is great too though.
