7. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

When you clicked on this list you probably assumed this film would be bringing up the rear. And while that was a solid assumption (and a discussion was had), ultimately it creeps up the list a bit because of Andrew Garfield. Garfield is in his Peter Parker prime here. Plus, narratively, this movie is so hugely ambitious. There are multiple villains, big teases at a larger universe, main characters die. It misses the mark in many of those regards but at least it swings for the fences with gusto.
