Smarter,funnier and right on TARGET!

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2004)

Just got back from the theatre. I just can say WOW! The best superhero movie I have seen, that too its a sequel!!!!
The stuff why I like spidey2
1.Emotions: Sam Raimi managed to capture the essence of a superhero. Not the dumb witted muscle bags who runs around killing villains and saving innocent people but a real person with feelings like you and me. Spidey gets angry,scared and even selfish! Spidey is human! The movie proves it.
2.Storyline & Dialogues: Strong storyline with a established base to work, a great screenplay writer, and a very good cast = A GOOD MOVIE. I have to say there are one or two instance when we feel like story drags. But it quickly recovers and paces on with renewed vigour. The dialogues forms the life of this movie. Crisp and to the point. I really had fun with the comic sequences all with spiderman.
3.Cast: Though the cast was the same/similar to the previous movie this time around I really feel all of them have done terrific jobs. Kudos to the cast! I loved Toby and Kirsten. Spidey2 could have been a romantic flick!
4.Special FX: much improved than the first part. The fight sequences were excellently executed. Spideys web slinging has also improved , the arches postures all seem natural now. Maybe 2 years of web swinging did the trick. However they have to improve on the spidey CG character. Seems a bit too shiny at times.
The end gave hints to next spidey movie but i think it might destroy the next movie. I left the theatre feeling with no anxiety for the next movie since spidey is doing good with his life.
I enjoy Marvel comics.I enjoyed Spiderman2. It felt like reading a comic book in its spirit.
Verdict: ****1/2 of 5
See the movie with your family/friends/or even with the girl next door.. you will enjoy this long awaited 2004's Greatest Summer Blockbuster
