Every Single Spider-Man Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

1. Spider-Man 2 (2004)

Is this the greatest comic book movie of all time? It's certainly up there.

Sam Raimi's 2004 sequel soared thanks to the freedom from having to establish characters and the universe and Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus managed to outdo Willem DaFoe in the villain stakes too.

The sequel does everything you'd want from a follow-up, building on everything we'd already seen from Raimi's work, introducing new linked ideas and escalating the threat to Spider-Man, all while adding depth to him as a character. And yet it still managed to retain the intimacy that the first film had relied on so heavily and which was so notably absent from The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

If there's ever going to be a better Spider-Man movie, it will have to do a LOT to get there.
