 Spider-Man AKA Peter Parker is played by Tobey Maguire in the movie. He was not the first choice for Spider-Man in the movie series, but he should have been.

The movie deserves this rating. Final score: ⭐10/10

Ranking and rating all of the Star Wars movies I have seen. (May The 4th)

 Ranking Star Wars I - VII + Rogue one.

Star Wars has been my favorite movie franchise for a while. here is my opinion of all of the Star Wars movies I have seen and how I rank them. (I have not seen VIII, IX or Solo.)

Number 8: Episode I The Phantom Menace.

This is 100% the worst Star Wars movie ever created. I always have hated this one. The movie has a worthless plot. the characters do not look great. and Qui-gon is killed before the movie is over. this. movie. is. AWFUL.  Score: ⭐2.5/10

Number 7: Episode II: Attack of the Clones

Ok. This is the movie where Anikin doomed the universe with a kiss. and the focus on romance in this movie is why it stinks. It is an action movie series for gosh sake! but there are some good things about this movie. like Jango Fett and the Battle of Genosis. But mostly it's not a great movie. Score: ⭐4.2/10 

Number 6: Episode VII: The Force Awakens.

Ok some of you may get a little angry about this one. I have my reasons for not liking this one.

The main reason is the story. The movie is practically A New Hope 2! examples: Han's death - Obi-Wans death. Luke shooting at Vader - Chewie's anger issues. Poe attacking the vent on Starkiller - Luke firing proton torpedoes thru the vent. and Vader's family relations - Kylo Ren's family relations! Disney created cool heroes and Villans but could not create their own story!

Score: ⭐ 5.2/10

Number 5: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Now it gets closer. I enjoy this movie but not as much as A New Hope or Empire Strikes Back.

It is a quality movie, but the other 2 originals are better. While this is an iconic movie with one of the greatest battles in all of film: Luke VS Vader on the Death Star. I just prefer the other movies. Don't get me wrong this is a great movie! but Episode V is better. Score: ⭐8.1/10

Number 4: Episode IV: A New Hope.

This movie is incredible and barely missed number 3 on my list. this movie is the perfect beginning to this legendary film franchise. It introduces the legendary Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia in the best way possible! These Three are the perfect heroes for the original movies. Score: ⭐9.2/10

  

Number 3: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

This was the best Disney Star Wars movie. no contest. It is the perfect prequel to Episode IV. The characters are awesome and stand out. the story is amazing and well written. and the soundtrack is amazing! Score: ⭐9.3/10

 Number 2: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

You may be thinking "Why does he have a prequel movie at number 2?!". but Revenge of the Sith is a great movie! it is my personal favorite out of all the newer Star Wars movies. my favorite character was always Darth Vader and I love how this movie puts the focus on him.

Anikin's transition to Vader is the spotlight of this movie. and that's why I like it! Score: ⭐9.5/10

Number 1: Episode V Empire Strikes Back.

We all saw this coming a mile away. this is the greatest Star Wars movie of all time. If not the greatest movie of all time! From the iconic battle between Vader and Luke to Luke's training with Yoda and the debut of Boba Fett! this movie is straight up amazing and by far the best Star Wars movie ever. I cannot think of a more deserving movie for a 10 than this one. And the big part of this movie... "Luke... I am your father". Score: ⭐10/10

 

And there you have it. my ranking of the Star Wars movie franchise. and remember... the force will be with you always. Happy May The 4th!
