Much better than part one, still no X2

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2004)

First of all this movie is 10 times better than part one, the characters begin to take off so Tobey and Franco can actually flex some acting muscle, the story is WAY better, the action and editing are much better 2. I'm glad to see them cast obscure character actors as their villains, Molina really relishes the role and Dylan Baker will make a great Lizard in the future. Like X2, the annoyance of Cyclops cannot be lost; in this franchise it takes the form of Kirsten Dunst and Rosmary Harris. The CG spidey is still unrealistic but looks better than in part one. All in all it is a far superior movie but it doesn't reach the heights of X2 because of director Sam Raimi, the impending success of this one will ensure he sticks around for part 2 but I think the franchise will reach new heights once they change directors.
