Spiderman

Although I like the Toby McGuire version better, I do like that they made Peter Parker's intelligence an important part of the story - in the other version, it was talked about but didn't really come into play in the plots except to put him in contact with other characters. I also thought that the other versions did a better job with Spidey's banter.

I thought that they took a lot of effort to make sure they didn't duplicate any scenes from the others.

Not sure this is a spoiler, but just in case:

I should also say, my opinions come from someone that did not read the comic books, so might have a different perspective than a scholar on the subject.

Though, thinking back on the other version, I think Doc Ock is my favorite villain that's been done.
