Superb

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2004)

Head and shoulders above the previous (and tedious) Spider-Man. Actually, it far, far outstrips that film. This movie is excellent. I'm sorry I waited so long to go see it, fearing it would be like the first film--which made me say "eh", and nothing more.
This has all of the pain and emotion (along with some wonderful comic relief) you'd find in any first-rate drama--and yet it's a comic book inspired movie. Top notch characters--including enough screen time in which to develop them and their relationships--was the highlight for me. I just don't know how the filmmakers could have done it any better.
This second film beats that pants off of the first--and off of everything else this summer season. I loved it.
