Spider-Man 2 is one of the greatest superhero movies of all time because it's a great movie, not just a great superhero movie.

Here's Roger Ebert's 4 out of 4 stars review: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/spider-man-2-2004

Now this is what a superhero movie should be. "Spider-Man 2" believes in its story in the same way serious comic readers believe, when the adventures on the page express their own dreams and wishes. It's not camp and it's not nostalgia, it's not wall-to-wall special effects and it's not pickled in angst. It's simply and poignantly a realization that being Spider-Man is a burden that Peter Parker is not entirely willing to bear.

Finally, what a great credits song for the movie: https://youtu.be/7-4no0aMa8k
