I've heard it said that the 2nd Spidey is one of the best ever super-hero films, and I have to agree that it's quite good. Alfred Molina does a most excellent job as the scientist turned villain,
Spoiler:
then shows remorse at the end (without spoiling too much--you got'a know that Spidey prevails)
.And Parker/Spidey go through many great changes. And when he stops the train? Oh boy--you're in for a treat.

But watch the first film first to set this all up. That's a must.

I'm still reserved on the 3rd installment though. This morning, I was thinking how the Alien franchise did the same. Great 1st film, even better 2nd, but lackluster 3rd. Usually, the 2nd is the bottom point (Indiana Jones, Back From the Future, etc.).
