Another One of the rare breed of sequels better than the original

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2004)

What a superhero movie should be really.
Should of been called Spiderman Part 2.
The continuing story of Peter Parker and his 2 peers is really the main focus here and what makes this movie stand out as feeling more real, over other Superhero Sequels (other than perhaps Superman 2) is that human factor, as opposed to the mistake that Batman for example made as it progressed, concentrating on the villains to the detriment of the main character.
The Spidey FX although better than Spiderman, are still very plasticky, although I actually quite liked their comicky feel, and perhaps it was intended, as spiderman as a film is beyond having to lean on it's SFX to make a buck.
Spoiler Warning
Also a great indictment of the film, that the whole cast of Spiderman returned for Part 2, how often does that happen?
