Best Spiderman movie ever

Rating: 9/10 (25 August 2019)

One of the greatest aspects of Raimi's Spidey is his sheer selflessness.
Throughout the movie Peter was basically a human punching bag. The guy gets battered physically and emotionally. He literally can't catch a break at all, and it's all more or less attributed to him being Spiderman:

He loses his delivery job due to rescuing a couple kids.
His relationships with Harry and MJ are distant and tenuous because of his secret.
His grades are abysmal.
He lives in a substandard apartment with a landlord constantly hounding him about rent.
His other job at the Bugle isn't really any better either.
Because of Jameson, the city despises Spideman.
Due to his duties he misses MJ's play and worsens their already strained friendship resulting in her getting engaged to spite him.
Harry, hurt and frustrated with Peter slaps and humiliates him in front of a crowd.
Aunt May loses possession of her home.

All the while Peter feels constantly trapped and torn between desiring his own life vs fulfilling Uncle Ben's adage of using his powers responsibly and helping people. It's way too much stress for ANY person, let alone a 19-20 year old single guy living in New York. Being Spiderman is never a luxury but a burden which evidently extracts a massive toll on him. However, despite all the hardships and baggage, Peter hardly ever complained, trudging forward and sucking it up while remaining humble and true to himself because he understands what truly is important.
When you really look at it, Peter's life is actually pretty dismal and is not for the faint of heart. Yet, at the end of the day he acknowledges everything and realizes that the moment he got his powers his life no longer belonged to him. It's his curse but everyone else's gift. And it was finally at the end of Spiderman 2 that he ultimately accepted this when he refused to get Mary Jane involved in his life because he knew that the path he chose in life had no place for her, thus letting her go.
Spiderman 2 isn't simply an excellent superhero film but a great movie in general, demonstrating life lessons and teaching the audience that life's never fair and can be very horrible, however, there are good things in life which makes it worthwhile, allowing you to pick yourself up, shake it off and continue forward.
This is what Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire's Spidey encompassed perfectly and why this iteration, in my opinion, is superior to Andrew Garfield and Tom holland's variation of the character.
