Peter saving the girl trapped in the fire in SM2 has captured the essence of what it means to be a superhero, better than any other comic book movie.
What I loved about the Raimi movies was that it actually gave time to developing Peter's personal life. He wasn't just Spider-Man. He had an awesome supporting cast with actual development and we saw him actually struggle.
Now it could be argued that we saw him struggle a bit too much. I really hated how melodramatic the movies could be at times, especially when it came to Peter & MJ. Tone wise, I actually think I prefer the MCU Spider-Man movies, but overall, I think Raimi's SM 1 & 2 are much better films.
