The best superhero film I've ever seen

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2007)

Forget about Batman Begins and Superman, Spider-Man 2 dominated those two and its predecessor single-handedly.
Starting off on a note that leaves the audience feeling sorry for Peter, the story continues two years after the first film and perfectly carrying the story forward. Things between Peter and MJ rise and fall, and Harry's life is falling apart. Doc Ock soon enters as the villain in the film, complicating Peter's life to great heights. The world around the beloved Peter Parker is falling apart, and in an effort to escape his pain, he quits.
Spider-Man 2 truly delivers on every level; drama, comedy, action, and superhero-ness. All the scenes fit warmly together, and the storyline never goes below great. It also includes some of Spidey's best action (the train fight scene, for example) and some of Peter's best moments (the diner scene with MJ is Spidey's second finest scene ((I personally liked the symbiote removal in Spider-Man 3 better)).) Doc Ock is a way better villain than Green Goblin was (although I absolutely loved GG). Character development was amazing beyond words, and the way the whole movie is set-up is a sign of some of Sam Raimi's cinematic genius.
Where Spider-Man lacked, Spider-Man 2 made up. I give this awesome movie an 8.4; not perfect, but a truly great and solid film nonetheless.
