Back before there were cameos, multiverses, and age-appropriate casting, there was Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. The horror director, perhaps best known for Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, shocked the world when he decided to adapt the first-ever feature-length live-action Spider-Man movie. Even more shocking: he, along with screenwriters Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, made a perfect sequel, one that blows the original film out of the water – something that is no easy feat. Twenty-one years later, Spider-Man 2 remains one of the greatest, if not the greatest superhero movie of all time. It's got wit, heart, and horror elements, not to mention some of the finest choreographed action sequences and the internal struggle of wanting to live a full life while simultaneously saving the world.
