Superhero movie, or Drama

Rating: Null/10 (26 July 2004)

Spider- man one brought us into the life of Peter Parker (Mguire) then soon brought us into the life of his Alter-Ego Spider- Man. Developing story lines with the love of MJ(dunst), and the death of a villain(Defoe), that just happened to be the father of his close friend Harry Osborn(Franco).
In the second one we are brought back into the life of Peter Parker, but life as he new it, has changed. MJ and Harry has split, school is getting harder to stay awake in, Aunt May is having financial problems, Harry has taken' over OScorp, a new villain is on the lose, and he's having problems with being spider - man. For a good chunk of the movie, you see how being Spider - Man tares Peter down, and then you get to see the other side of a totally different side of the universe, one without Spider - man. But as he figures out that the new villain Dock ock is running amuck, and he comes to realize the importance of having a hero, he comes to his senses.
Sam Ramie I believe has over done himself, he brought in the most deadly villains known to Marvel fans, Doctor Octopus, a megalomaniac with four antiminium tentacles that are more than deadly, with Raids writers, who added in some really cool plot twists that will keep you going " what?" throughout the movie were also great. another thing I liked was how he keeps Marvel fans ( like myself) guessing who will be the next villain, cuz some plot twists suggest the Hobgoblin, The Lizard, or even Venom, who knows.
I know a lot of people are talking badly about certain elements about this movie, like a " Rain drops are falling on my head" diddy in the movie, but I think it totally fit the mood at the time, and I found it cheesy but satisfying. they have topped the first in a dramatic point of view, but the first is still the best in the action view, some of the Ock fights were amazingly cool and edge of your seat fun, but I believe Sam this time didn't focus on the action so much as he did on developing characters that people will cheer for in the up coming film ( coming 2007). I highly recommend this piece of art movie for any one and everyone, even if you didn't like the first one. characters are more believable, and the effects have improved along with a story that makes this movie a loner in its own category. this is a very GREAT movie.
