One of the best sequels ever!

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2004)

Spiderman was just an amazing film when seeing it in the Cinema, but when it came on DVD I didn't have the same effect on me but I still liked it. Looking at all the clips that I saw whilst watching other films of Spiderman 2 got me really fired up but after seeing it more than 5 times I began to lose patience as I thought I had seen nearly every scene just through all the trailers that popped up on TV and in the cinema but how wrong was I when watching this great action comic film.
I have this knack for guessing whether the film is going to be any good or not before watching them and Spiderman 2 is a film that I thought I would find faults with which I did but they were minor and not even worth mentioning because it was a rip roaring and quite scary action flick.
Sam Rami is definitely a director who knows how to please his audience and bring them back for more which is how it finishes. I don't take kindly either to any female leads like Kirsten Durnst who moan in movies like Spiderman because that's what I was lead to believe but in all fairness I never heard her speak out of tone once or even remotely annoy me at all. Like the first Spiderman the whole film is just nicely put together and the story is continued perfectly in the second instalment with everything from the action, the acting and quite a few scary moments. There is one with a hospital and the way the whole was shot was quite spooky but I won't say what happens in the scene itself, you'll have to watch it to see that but it sent some shivers down my spine. The characterisation which Rami has presented before our eyes is wonderfully handled and great to watch. Alfred Molina as Dr Oc is fantastic and couldn't have been better if he tried. Now is there anything wrong with this film? I would say yes and no, no because it is a very enjoyable film that anyone can enjoy and has plenty of action and great scenes to keep you busy and happy but it's not a masterpiece which is what all comic book fans are waiting. Batman Begins is likely to have the title if any comic film has but then again that is yet to be released so we will have to wait and see but in the mean time ut of all the comic book hero films I have seen since the day of the my birth, I can honestly say that Spiderman 2 is the best I have ever seen and has more thrills and spills than any other film of it's type has which is a noble thing to say.
Just sit back and enjoy watching Peter Parker growing up.
