it would be better if i come straight to the point and discuss why i think this movie is better than tdk. when i watched spiderman2 first time i was blown away by it i felt like i never felt before watching a superhero movie, its generally very hard to relate to a superhero for us average movie goers.. after all how many of us pull their briefs on top of their trousers and go after bad guys... before spiderman2 superhero movies had the very usual worn out formula, there is a superhero there is a super villain and there is a girl, super villain come up with an ingenious plan to kill the superhero and conquer the world... spiderman2 has all this too but it has little more and thats what makes it the best superhero movie till this very day... and that thing is the failures of superhero the weakness of the superhero, his suffering and for a change him being a victim of others cruelty. and that makes us love, sympathize and pity this superhero. the movie is not just some high on adrenaline cgi cheap thrill collection of sequences (though it does have some great action sequence which you'll love), its much more... tdk is a great flick but in my opinion its overrated and spiderman2 is a superior flick and first of its kind... god how i wish they didn't screw up spiderman3 so bad..
