Is "Spider-man 2" in the Top 5 of Superhero movies?

Tobey Maguire, general cheese, and the dumb confession to Aunt May scene disqualify it from top 5.

Top 10 I think is fair enough, there are a lot of good points to the movie.

Nope

Still the best Spider-Man movie.

No. Raimi recycled the plot for all 3 movies. It was incredibly old.

Macguire, Dunst and Franco are all terrible in their respective roles too.

I kinda agree with you on Dunst but Franco and Maguire were great certainly much better than emo Garfield and Dane DeHaan.

There is no top 5 of superhero movies.

How specifically were Garfield and DeHaan emo?

@black_wreath: I'm only calling Garfield emo and that's because he sulks and his character is a boring cipher.

I loved this movie when I was a kid. Molina and Simmons were brilliant. Great action. But you have to admit, it hasn't really aged well.

@thepieter: Unlike Maguire teary performance, Garfield's Spider-Man actually displayed a sense of humour

@black_wreath: I'd like to go into more detail but I have a video perfectly capturing my opinions.

It was OK but Maguire is unbearable, definitely not top 5.

Easily in the top 5 it's one of the best superhero movies ever made.

easily, spiderman 1 and 2 were some of the best cbms ever and probably wouldn't see as many movies without the success of spidey.

I think that it was one of the best superhero movies...The only thing that was lacking with Maguire Spidey is that he doesn't make too many funny quips like Garfield Spidey did 8 years later. Alfred Molina as Doc Ock was the show-stealer for me.

No

Yes. This, Dark Knight and X2 are the greatest cbms ever made

Personally I feel the other way round. Dunst I think was given horrible scenes and dialogue from the start, I don't think anyone could've come out of those movies looking good in that MJ role. I mean all she was given was scenes of whining and being fickle, swapping between boyfriends etc etc, getting kidnapped and being a damsel in distress, really unnatural romance dialogue etc etc.

Maguire just gurns and pulls faces throughout the whole movie, its like watching a Spitting Image Puppet at times.

Franco hams everything up to hell with raised eyebrows and sinister smirks, and is very watchable but really can't be taken seriously.

I would say yeah just barely. Had to figure out what my list would look like. =)

It's my personal second favourite comic book movie after Superman, it even beats The Dark Knight as a comic book movie.

I don't think so, but it's the only Marvel movie to win an Oscar (not that Oscars for special effects really count for much).

Not really. My favorite Spider-Man movie was the first one and the Raimi movies haven't aged very well.

No. This movie has a few AMAZINGLY well-done scenes but it is hardly good enough for top 5. Some of the other scenes were terrible. Doc Ock's death was horribad.

Yep. For me at least.

I agree. For me it goes:

1. Spiderman 2

2. Spiderman

3. Amazing Spiderman

And that's where it ends because there were no other Spiderman films :)

Still my favorite comicbook movie

I think it's earned it's right as Top 5 or even best super hero movie ever made around the time of it's release when we mostly had comic book films like the Shumacher Batman films, Steel, Daredevil, Hulk, Catwoman and Fantastic Four to compare with.

However after Batman Begins, the standards for comic book films have overall risen leading Spider-Man 2 to show off some of it's age and cheese. Still, I feel the film isn't completely without merit. And I like how the film showed Peter struggling to balance his main life with the superhero antics in a relatable manner.

But I think we can all agree this was the most unintentionally laughable part of the whole movie lmao.

Its not in MY top 5.

Best of the Rami movies, but not in my top 10.

There's no such thing as top 5 superhero movies, it's all an opinion.

First Raimi film is better to me.

Its not in my top 5 comic book movies and to be honest my top 5 is the only one I am concerned with.

I think so but it has some serious competition nowadays, which it didn't have during it's release.

Top 10 yes

Top 5 no not even close

God I forgot about that scene.

On topic, I wouldn't put it in top 5, maybe top 10.

The Rami movies as a whole were bad. This was the only good one, and it was great...but brought down by McGuire, Dunst, etc. And I like this movie, don't get me wrong. Just not for it's cast or acting. I prefer the ASM cast personally.

It has the potential, but I think it's been forced out of top 5 these days. Still in the top 10 perhaps, but not top 5.

use to but not anymore.

Yes, at least in my top 5 yes.

top 6 for sure.

I dunno about top 5, but I'd be comfortable with top 10. It was a great Spiderman movie.

There's a reason they re-made the exact same movie for Amazing Spiderman, after all.

I have it at 6 ..so for me no. But I think it has aged well. I re-watched it last month and still loved it. I don't know why folks think Dunst was bad...she's actually better than Stone IMHO (who I think is mediocre) I think it's because that film was really going after the Lee-Ditko version of Spider-man and in those days MJ was a whiny little brat. It was a big part of why Parker didn't like her much at first .

I think the end battle is kind of weak, they should´ve used another motivartion for Otto, instead of getting MJ again,

also the last fight is the shortest and again the "weakest"

Top 10 but not top 5

Not my top 5 but its the best Spiderman movie and one of the first truly great CBMs.

Raindrops make it possibly the best Spider-man movie.

Fun fact:

Spider-Man 2 has the best RT tomatometer score of any superhero comic book movie ever, just fractions of a percentage higher than the Dark Knight.

It's till my favorite.
