Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man has had many unforgettable moments that no other Spider-Man film has outdone. Maguire became the first big-screen Wall-Crawler with Sam Raimi's 2002 movie Spider-Man, and though his tenure seemingly ended after Spider-Man 3, Maguire returned in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's 2021 mega-hit Spider-Man: No Way Home, teaming him up with Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland's Spideys. Though that film brought Maguire's Spidey back into action, his journey in the original Spider-Man trilogy was hardly forgotten.
Maguire's live-action Spider-Man certainly had his share of clunkier and sillier moments, most notably Peter Parker's notorious emo dance in Spider-Man 3, but these remain vastly outnumbered by his moments of Spidey greatness. Whether in his web-slinging action scenes or quieter moments of emotional power, Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man has been at the center of many unforgettable moments. Here are 10 great Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movie moments that have not been topped in subsequent Spider-Man films.
