The Kernel take
Spider-Man 2's 83 Metascore represents universal acclaim that the $788.976M worldwide haul has thoroughly justified, a nearly 4x return on its $200M budget that few films of any critical standing achieve.
Director track record: Sam Raimi
Spider-Man 2 sits well above Sam Raimi's own 60.6-point average across 14 other scored films — a 22.4-point leap that trails only Drag Me to Hell's matching 83, the co-peak of his critical reception.
Lead track record: Tobey Maguire
Spider-Man 2 sits well above Tobey Maguire's own 62.1-point average across 20 other scored films — a 20.9-point leap that finally exceeds The Cider House Rules' 75, marking his new best-reviewed film to date.
