Many people believe Spider-Man 2 to be the perfect prototype for a superhero movie. It balances great action with heart, putting Spiderman through what his real life struggles would be. It's hard being a superhero when you have a life to live. We can't all be Tony Stark. For some of us, working two jobs is hard enough. 'Spider-man 2' shows the pressures of being Spider-man in a way that no other Spider-man movie has yet.
This movie brought a fan favorite villain into the mix: Doctor Octopus. I remember the action figure for Doctor Octopus. He had a big backpack that his octo-arms would come out of. They could retract back inside, which felt very realistic. That was from the Spider-man animated series which is still probably the best Spider-man, even though you won't see it on this list.
