Advertisement. "Spider-Man 2" is the best superhero movie since the modern genre was launched with "Superman" (1978). It succeeds by being true to the insight that allowed Marvel Comics to upturn decades of comic-book tradition: Readers could identify more completely with heroes like themselves than with remote godlike paragons.

Spider-Man 2 Movie Review
Parents need to know that Spider-Man 2, the second in the Tobey Maguire-era Spider-Man trilogy, has lots of comic book-style violence. Cars (taxis, most often) are thrown into buildings, heroes and villains throw each other from high buildings, and, perhaps most disturbingly, the wife of a character is killed when glass in a building shatters and the shards fly straight for her face.
Spider-Man 2
In the second installment in the Spider-Man series, based on the classic Marvel Comics hero, Tobey Maguire returns as the mild-mannered Peter Parker, who is juggling the delicate balance of his dual life as a college student and a superhuman crime fighter. The entertaining adventure escalates and Spider-Man's life becomes even more complicated when he confronts a new nemesis, the brilliant ...

Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Spider-Man 2 improved on all aspects of Spider-Man 1. Peter is struggling to be Spider-Man, and the movie illustrates that very well. The action is better than lots of movies today, most notably the train fight scene. Danny Elfman provides an unforgettable soundtrack.
Spider-Man 2
Movie Review "Spider-Man, Spider-Man/Does whatever a spider can/Spins a web, any size/Catches thieves just like flies/Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man!" Just about everybody remembers the theme song from the old TV series, but no one's ever seen it performed with the kind of self-effacing, twinkle-in-your-eye humor that fills Spider-Man 2.

Spider-Man: No Way Home movie review (2021)
It's one of the few themes in the entire cinematic universe that feels heroic. With so much to love about "No Way Home," the only shame is that it's not a bit more tightly presented. There's no reason for this movie to be 148 minutes, especially given how much the first half has a habit of repeating its themes and plot points. Watts ...

Conversely, though, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" is strongest when it's at its quietest and most intimate.
