Best superhero movie?

It's not even the best Spider-man movie. 

Why?

Agreed. It’s second best after Spider-Man 2.

Why?

I can't believe it's been 20 years since Spider-Man was released, I still remember organizing a mass outing for me and a bunch of my college buddies to go see it on opening day.  Absolutely loved it, and still do.

Stacking up the superhero movies of that era though (no way I'll even try to compare them to the current MCU or Bale's Batman), I'd rank it:

X-Men 2
Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man 1

What bumps Spider-Man 2 just a bit above 1 was how great Alfred Molina was as Dr. Octopus.  Older me really came to appreciate the meeting he and Tobey Maguire had prior to the fusion experiment in his loft.  The dialogue exchange really humanizes the character and makes him likeably tragic, even in the worst throes of his villainy.  It wasn't quite as easy to do that with Dafoe, because he's just naturally a little weird and creepy.

Yep, 20 years ! There is definitely a nostalgia factor to the first Spider-Man movie. It also happened at an interesting time in terms of world events at that moment. I’m inclined to agree that Doc Ock was a great villain in the 2nd movie, however, the origin portion and the unknown of where they were taking the character in the first movie was something that made it memorable. I also agree with shadroch’s earlier comment that the scenes in the movie where you are swinging down the streets were fantastic!

Agreed... the best superhero movies to me are the ones that have "heart" at their core and both series have that in spades.

Agreed. However, between the two for overall best movie, I’d give the edge to Spider-Man because of the villain.

The Tobey Maguire Spider-Mans are still my favorites among the Marvel movies.  Best superhero movie of all though is still the first (and maybe second) Christopher Reeve Superman to me... just epic in comparison.  Reeve WAS Superman and some of the music still gives me chills...

I think a great similarity between the Reeve Superman movies and the First Tobey Maguire movie are the family connections between the hero and their surrogate parents. The dynamic between Peter and uncle Ben and Aunt May when compared to Ma and Pa Kent give both movies a humanizing tone that is mostly missing from other superhero films. There is something about that dynamic that I enjoy. The death of uncle Ben and when aunt May receives the news in the Maguire movie is a scene that still lingers in my memory.

I agree, the second film is far better, and it's nowhere close to being the best superhero film. Offhand I'm still inclined to give that to X2. 

Interesting, X2 will be celebrating its 20 year release date next year. So are you saying that almost 20 years on no Marvel movie beats X2? If so, why? What’s missing from later movies?

You’re bound to get differences of opinion on what the best movie in any genre is.  It’s a subjective choice.

For instance, I think the second film is far superior. 

Opinions, of course that’s what I’m interested in. Why is the second movie better than the first? Given that the second movie came out in 2004, 18 years ago, based on all the Marvel movies since then, is the 18 year old movie better than all the Marvel movies since then?

Yes, we love the print versions of our comics and we love to discuss different artists’ versions of our beloved characters but now that the film versions are reaching important milestones, like the 20th anniversary of Tobey Maguire as the web slinger, we can finally discuss the importance of this adaptation.

So, 20 years on, is the 2002 version of Spider-Man, the best movie adaptation of the character? Is it the best superhero movie ever (at least amongst all the Marvel character adaptations)? Where does the movie sit in your opinion amongst the canon 20 years later?

I wonder if it is my neighbour? He recently said he needed to raise some monEH! He also suddenly said he had to sell his sled dogs. He wanted me to buy his premium stockpile of maple syrup (2021 pandemic vintage)...I passed on the offer. If it is my neighbour let me know as he still owes me money from our sled deal last year. 

Nice book!
