With a great story, great villain, and even more drama and action than the first 'Spider-man,' the second Spidey installment thrilled its viewers across the globe, and deservedly so.

Doc Ock was a fantastic villain choice, and really is a nemesis for Spider-man. The action scenes, though heavily relied on CGI, are fantastic, and are OK on being CGI-heavy since they looked so realistic and so cool. On a personal, internal level, Peter Parker accepts who he needs to be as a superhero, rather than shunning the responsibilities that he has been given.

Mary Jane is torn between two men, a recently-returned astronaut and Pete. Her fateful decision at film's end directly follows Pete's exciting last encounter with Doc Ock.

'Spider-man 2' is definitely one of the three best superhero movies of all time, and arguably the best. 3.5 stars/4
