At last all the arguments can stop, the best superhero movie is officially Spiderman 2. This is the first decent movie I have watched at the pictures this year and boy was it good. Is it better than the first Spiderman? Yes it is but without the ground work established in the first movie this film could not have been possible. We have to treat the two movies as one big film. In this movie we see the toll that being Spiderman is taking on Peter's life and boy it is not easy. His school work is suffering, his love life is non existent and boy is he broke!! When watching this film you cannot but help feel Peter's pain both physical and spiritual. |

The director of this film Sam Raimi has pulled of a masterpiece in this film. You are on a ride that has highs and lows and it does not let go of you till the end. You will feel everything that Peter suffers through. The CGI was in my opinion flawless and did not even register on my mind during this movie. The leads of Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst are becoming such good actors and they make us believe in the frustration of their love, the scenes where Kirsten is trying to get Peter to open up to her are great. The foe in this movie Doctor Octopus played by Alfred Molina was excellent and made for a great visual on the screen. He in my opinion is ten times better than that Green Goblin that looked like a power rangers reject. I enjoyed this film to no end and have so many favourite scenes but I think the battle with Doc Ock on the train was the best sequence especially when you see the bond he shares with the rest of the New Yorkers. |

I hope that Sam Raimi can keep up the quality of these movies for the inevitable sequels This film was very enjoyable and had a good blend of action and drama. Also for all the comic geeks there are mentions of Jonah Jameson's son James the astronaut and of Doctor Connors both of who will become villains in the comics, plus we get a lot of scenes lifted directly from the comics, especially the scene in which Peter quits as Spiderman and dumps his costume in the garbage. J. Jameson is great as the annoying editor of the bugle and he made me laugh a few times. All in all I would recommend this to anyone and I will be watching this again very soon. Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can, spins a web............... This gets a webtastic 9/10 Shazam! |
