SPIDER-MAN 2 (2004) is one of the great comic book films, along with THE DARK KNIGHT, IRON MAN, SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE (1978), X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, etc.

Easily the best SPIDER-MAN film to date and it will probably be better than the 2017 reboot (at least according to my instincts; it's obviously too early to determine that and simply setting a film in the MCU doesn't automatically make it a masterpiece).

My second favourite SPIDER-MAN film is 2012's THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. 2002's SPIDER-MAN is close behind. The worst SPIDER-MAN film is the awful SPIDER-MAN 3.

All 5 films were good to me. TASM 2 & SM3 were okay, they get WAY too much hate imo.

As much a I loved X-Men and X2, I think Spider-Man 2 was the first film to really crack the CBM code - Characters, Story and Action. Sounds simple, but how many bad films forget to include at least one of these? Or all 3 (I'm looking at you Fant4stic - no characters, no story, no action - I mean, seriously).

I think all the great CBM films since Iron Man/The Dark Knight have a lot to thank Spider-Man 2 for.

Yes both movies are great and some of the greatest CBMs of all time especially Spider-Man 2. In fact on the Mount Rushmore of CBM I would place Spider-Man 2 alongside Superman the Movie, Dark Knight, and The Avengers for not only how great the movie is but it's impact on the genre.

They were not good. Campy, feel-good garbage.

Bullshit.
