I wasn't a big fan of Spiderman 1. But Spiderman 2 is definitely my favorite superhero movie. It was one of the few movie sequels in which the director actually learned from his mistakes and uses that knowledge to craft something that is more a work of cinema than a summer blockbuster. In fact, Spiderman 2 is both of those things. It was entertaining, but also grasped the story behind the hero better than the Hulk. Its action sequences were also impressive even though they were few. One scene felt out of place and seemed only there to promote Spiderman 3, but besides that the movie ran by too quickly for me because it had such great pace and fluid scenes.
