Tom Holland, no question. I felt that he really got the essence of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in both his identities.
Tobey Maguire did great as the "awkward nerd" Peter Parker, but he was disappointing as Spider-Man. I grew up with the Spider-Man comics, and the entire reason why I loved Spider-Man was because he was an annoying braggart and a clown who made fun of the world while doing heroic things... and I never got that from Tobey Maguire. Also, he got less likeable as the movies went on, and he had NO chemistry with Kirsten Dunst.
Andrew Garfield, I had the opposite problem with. He was great as Spider-Man, but his Peter Parker was a little too cool and self-confident. Ironically, if the Andrew Garfield movies had not been set in high school but he'd played an adult Peter Parker, he'd have worked much better, but he was not convincing as a "loser teen."
Tom Holland was the first one to really manage both sides of Peter Parker, and stay likeable throughout. Both as Peter Parker and as Spider-Man he has the right mix of comical awkwardness and inner decency. He talks a lot, but that's what Spider-Man is supposed to do. He's a little guy in a big world, he's surrounded by giants and impossible odds, and he hardly ever has a real victory... but he still keeps on trying. That's Spider-Man to me.

Compared to Andrew and Tom, Tobey is definitely my favorite. However, I feel as though they have yet to actually find the PERFECT Spiderman and need to keep searching. Tom definitely has that comedic and clowny feel to him, but I feel as though he fails to capture the audience and fails to give any emotional depth to his character. Maybe because he isn't that experienced of an actor yet?
Tom was definitely close to embodying the character and he gave it his all, but Tobey was the closest to fully embodying the character. However, Tobey still managed to miss out on a few character traits that Peter Parker and Spiderman had!
Spider-Man is supposed to be a nerd who gets super powers, and Tobey Maguire did that really well. He was painfully awkward. Garfield was too sassy. I haven't seen Tom Holland yet, but I'm not interested in the iron man crossover.
I gotta say Tom Holland was the best.. Tobey was a great boy scout and got the essence of how much for Justice Spider-Man was.. And SP2 was great in lettin us see the balance between Spider-Man and Peter Parker.. Andrew was a good Spider-Man.. More of a joker, and true to how Peter Parker loves being Spider-Man because it brings the confidence out in him.. Tom was a mixture of both.. Earnest kid, and super cool, and funny Spidey.. Although if many people may not like the naive aspect, or may have really liked the romantic, and graceful tone of the Sam Raimi series..
I liked Garfield's version more than Tobey's, only see Tom's version in Captain America Civil War and I wasn't too happy to realize that Spiderman got another reboot with another new actor, since Garfield's version originally was suppose to be a trilogy also, but shit had happened so it is what it is.

Not only do i think Tobey did the best acting and was portrayed better but also has much cooler outfit, Didn't like Andrew seemed too annoying school kid, and Tom well they did him pretty well but the fact that he needs gadgets to be spiderman kinda wrecked it for me.
I hope nobody votes for Garfield... he was terrible. Wait you already have... besides being a douchebag, he could never be Peter Parker. I can't believe that there are people rooting for him. Oh and I voted Tobey simply because he is more of a Spidey from the comics while Tom Holland is more based on the UIltimate Spiderman cartoon series but instead of Tony being his mentor, it was Nick Fury.
Here is the simple truth, With Tobey and Andrew the writers and directors forgot one simple little thing that they got right with Tom. Spider Man was a kid. Spider man shouldn't have been going to college until the 3rd or 4th movie. He should have been an awkward teenager not just socially inept. They remembered the quirks and charm of teenage Peter Parker and still gave him the desire to and drive to do what was right. The other movies focused too much on him being grown.
Toby did a great job as Spiderman. He was nerdy, and his hero portrayal was great. He didn't over do it.
The Amazing Spiderman, the first one was good but the second was too much of everything.
I havnt seem Tom Holland yet so I can't say much about it.Tom Holland made me laugh a lot during his new movie and Captain America: Civil War. Tobey is better when it comes to being Spiderman itself besides that emo phase in the third movie. lol
Andrew Garfield as way mre accurate to how spiderman is in the comics. He was my favourite
Got to give it to Tobey, he's will always be the best Spiderman to me
tobey maguire the best:
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1iCMBiIPNagAnyone but that child in the new one 😒 I watched it today and was beyond disappointed
Andrew is my least favorite I felt he would've been a much better villain than an innocent Peter Parker. I haven't seen Tom in action. But I really like Tobey
In my heart Tobey is the only Spider-Man. SM 1 - SM 2 at least, 3 never happened.
Toby Maguire reminds me of that wimpy guy that got raped by some guys on the football team for being queer, he wasn't. Heard he killed himself a few years later.
Tom was the only one who looked like Peter Parker and was actually young enough to play a kid. He's a great Spider-Man.
I grow up with Toby Maguire. So I'll pick him. He did a great job as spider man.
Tobey is always my #1 Spider-Man.
Out of all the superheros, I love Spider-Man the most.Tobey is winning like he should be 👌🏼
I think Tobey was the best.
