Spider-Man 2 (2004) directed by Sam Rami and starring Tobey Maguire, James Franco, Kirsten Dunst and Alfred Molina. Spider-Man 2 follows the sequel of Peter Parker (Maguire), battling between his identity, his friendship and the villain of the film Doctor Octavis (Molina). Spider-Man 2 is the greatest superhero/ comic-book movie of all time and has much as I consider the Dark Knight the gold standard of CBM film making, Spider- Man 2 is still the peak. That movie? Nolans TDK to me will never surpass. Yes from cinematography, to sound design, to writing, The Dark Knight is the CBM that every studio director and writer try and mimic. But we're talking 13 years of Spider-Man 2 being called the greatest, over Batman (1989) and Superman (1978) it had suspense, comedy, romance, character development, an enthralling sub plot behind Aunt Mays financial problems, to Doc Ock. The CGI was fantastic and wasn't used as a crutch like the next 3 Sony projects to follow. The story was heavy hearted and sad, and the plot was actually really good. And the acting has never been any better. Overall my grade rating is 100% (A+) I really love this movie.
