Movies that feel likeSpider-Man 3 (2007)

The seemingly invincible Spider-Man goes up against an all-new crop of villains—including the shape-shifting Sandman. While Spider-Man’s superpowers are altered by an alien organism, his alter ego, Peter Parker, deals with nemesis Eddie Brock and also gets caught up in a love triangle.

If you loved Spider-Man 3, the closest films we have are The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). All three share Spider-Man 3's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Superman II (1980).
