Not just my favorite superhero movie, but one of my favorite movies period. I find Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker very relatable (not so much in the third one) but in this one you feel his pain, struggles, and why he decides to "quit" being Spiderman. Alfred Molina's Doc Ock is a three dimensional sympathetic villain. The plot is simple which is ideal for this type of story. Oh, and JK Simmons. J. Jonah Jameson will forever go down as one of the best side characters in film history.
