Movies that feel likeSpider-Man 2 (2004)
If you loved Spider-Man 2, the closest films we have are Superman II (1980), X2 (2003) and The Incredible Hulk (2008). All three share Spider-Man 2's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Koi... Mil Gaya (2003).

Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Spider-Man (2002) · Spider-Man 3 (2007)

New York City shapes both of them
The difference: 24 years apart, and the 1980s show

A superhero sequel with actual sacrifice at the center of it
The difference: An ensemble sharing the load — no one heart to break

Two things both keep coming back to: superhero and scientist
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

The hero-versus-life squeeze, drawn with dazzling invention
The difference: A cliffhanger by design — the story stops mid-swing

An underdog transformed, with sweet romance woven through the powers
The difference: A Bollywood sci-fi fable — songs and broad sentiment

A friend's slide into darkness playing out as personal tragedy
The difference: Operatic galaxy-wide doom — no warmth, no ordinary life to return to

A hero in love with someone whose life kept going without him
The difference: Slow and mournful — melancholy where Raimi has real forward drive

One thread runs through both: a secret identity
The difference: Takes it somewhere less romantic than Spider-Man 2 does

A hero exhausted by the job and tempted to put it down for good
The difference: Grim and solitary — no love story pulling him back to the world

Mid-2000s comic-book sincerity with a world-eating threat
The difference: Plastic and shallow — none of Raimi's ache or craft

Common ground: a secret identity
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than Spider-Man 2 does

The same preoccupation in both: superhero
