2004: Spider-Man 2

Let's talk about the special effects first: At times it seems director Sam Reimi was aiming to create a comic-like look, but these elements don't mesh well with the more realistic-looking elements. The animated Spider-Man's movements look stop-motion and the back-projections look ca. 1969. Apart from that, this may be the most formulaic story I've seen for quite a while. Which means that the film didn't get boring. (6)
