Spider-Man 2 (2004)

Sony

With Spider-Man 2, director Sam Raimi improved on his original with a story about power, responsibility, and giving as much as you can, whoever you are and whatever strengths you have or don’t have.

The story has real stakes thanks to the intense chemistry between Peter Parker/Spidey (Tobey Maguire) and Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), and Alfred Molina is excellent as the tortured, power-mad Doc Ock. The subway sequence in which regular New Yorkers save a superhero is one of our favorites in any superhero movie.
