A Fantastic film that rivals the best comic book films

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2014)

This was the second Spider Man film and after the original's huge success this film had to deliver and I believe it really did. This film starts off with Peter Parker enjoying his life as Spider Man but because of problems from the past movies and a new super villain created it tests him to his limits. Now I believe Tobey Maguire is a great Peter Parker/Spider Man and this is the film where he truly gives his best performance as the character as you truly feel sorry for his character at points and also that he is up for the responsibility. In all three films I do not like Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane she just seems annoying and selfish and in real life I would never be interested in her and she just seems like an annoyance to Peter. I do like James Franco as Harry Osborne in this film as his character goes through a lot and changes throughout but the best performances are by Alfred Molina as Doc Ock and JK Simmons as J Jonah Jameson. I do not see Jk as anything other then this role because he is an absolute show stealer in every film in the trilogy. Whereas, Doc Ock is my favourite villain out of the films because Molina truly shows this twisted character that isn't truly evil but still a threat. The Story makes logical sense from the past film and even though this film has a few story arcs they all are good and well executed. The script is good overall but is quite cheesy throughout and the cheesiness of this film and the slow pace is what stops it from being an epic film. The style is fantastic and it looks marvellous as it truly should which adds to the overall quality. Overall this is the best Spider Man film ever and will take some beating.
