While it has proved to be a box office sensation "Spider-Man 2" is riddled with errors.

And some of the millions of punters who have flooded into cinemas to see the superhero sequel have been logging these errors online.

So far 31 individual errors in the film have been logged on Moviemistakes.com, making it the most error-strewn of the year.

Errors include Spider-Man's mask moving unaided in a fight, a scar on Peter Parker's cheek changing sides, and a policeman who suddenly gains a crash helmet in the middle of a stunt.

Jon Sandys, owner of the website, comments: "I get some real abuse sometimes from people who think I live to spot mistakes, which honestly isn't the case.

"It's just a place to share stuff you've picked up on which others might not have. How many people saw 'Gladiator' but somehow missed the gas canister in the chariot?"

But "Spider-Man 2" has a long way to go to beat the most error-filled stories of all.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl" tops the website's list with a staggering 253 errors, while the worst mistakes in a film include the scene where Hermione can be seen miming Harry's lines in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and the infamous scene in "Star Wars" where a storm-trooper smacks his head into a doorframe.
