As far as Spiderman three..they could have done much better with it. It didnt suck, but it did have an extra helping of cheese on it.
Spiderman 2 is excellent, about the closest I have ever seen a spiderman movie emulate the comic books.
I may be biased because Doc Ock has always been my number one favorite Spiderman villain.

This 7 minute scene alone was worth the price for the tickets to see this movie in my opinion. Also I rate this scene in the top ten of my personal choices of "best fight scene ever". Why? Because most fight scenes in movies have the problem of either moving too slow and looking obviously choreographed, or moving too fast and ruining any dramatic or emotional effect in the process.
Also, the reason I rate it so high is that, unlike many other movie fight scenes, this fight scene resembles an all out street brawl. No punches held back, and it gets ugly. Without the need for cheesy monologuing (which usually accompanies movie fights) one can easily see that Doc Ock doesnt give a shit about anyone but himself and that Spidermans weakness, his caring about other people not being hurt in the process of stopping this villain, really hinders his ability to take this villain down. As an added emotional bonus, the director (who is Sam Raimi, easily my most favorite director) takes just the right amount of time for the victims of the train fight to show their gratitude to the hero, even though they know they have all been placed in a losing situation.
5 stars out of 5 "must see" rating from me.
