Spider-Man 2 ranks alongside Superman II and both X-Men films as the best screen adaptations of comic book heroes, a status that, as we've seen through the years, isn't as easy to master as it sounds.

The web-slinging sequences are bigger-better-brighter-faster than the already spectacular ones in 2002's Spider-Man, and at the same time, the film's smaller emotional moments are denser, richer and more resonant than those in the first.

It improves on the first one: better action, better comedy.

This is a better picture than the first because it makes its characters human, doesn't camp it up and refuses to believe that Kerpow! Kerching! is more than a constituent part of the proceedings.

All in all, this sequel is a blockbuster with both a heart and a brain.

Spider-Man 2 is better than just dark, it's touched by authentic teenage paranoia and neurosis.

Simultaneously funnier, darker, and more emotional than its forebear.
