Best comic book movie ever!

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2004)

Wow, what a movie!
I liked Spiderman 2 a lot. It has a lot of elements that are rarely, if ever, present in a comic book movie:
-- interesting characters -- real-world problems (Spiderman has to pay rent, too) -- true ensemble players, not just the hero and extras -- decent acting
It also has all the bells and whistles one would expect from such a movie: chases, fights, explosions, special effects, fast pace. The battles between Doc Ock and Spiderman are intense and visually stunning (the multiple arms are played up terrifically).
I only took one point away for a silly, pointless plot element regarding Spidey having problems with his powers. Was really out of place and made no sense.
I also didn't particularly care for Aunt Mae, I think she was better in the first.
But overall, an great film. 9 out of 10
