Spider-Man 2

Pizza time! Here comes another great contender for the best Spiderman movies of all time, which is Spider-Man 2, released in 2004. The second live-action Spiderman film puts emphasis on the momentum generated by the previous film and sets Peter Parker on an extraordinary trip that masterfully adapts the iconic Spider-Man No More comic book plot.

In addition, Doctor Octopus, played by Alfred Molina, is a formidable antagonist. The sequence in the operating room is pure Sam-Raimi-styled and is still incredibly terrifying years later. His struggle with Spider-Man on the subway is also visually pleasing; we definitely believe that bringing him back to No Way Home (2021) was a smart move by Marvel.

Moreover, the tie-in computer game accompanying this movie was outstanding. It captures the thrill of web-swinging throughout Manhattan to an extent not matched until the 2018 PlayStation 4 game. At the moment, Spider-Man 2 is purchasable on Amazon Prime. You can also stream it on Starz for $8.99 a month.
