Pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2005)

Like most of the world, I enjoyed this movie. It had a very good story line for a super hero movie, and the special effects were awesome. That out of the way, I know move on to the acting. Tobey Macguire was convincing, but every time Kirsten Dunst came on I lost that feeling. James Franco was a little un-entertaining, but still was appropriate for his role. Bruce Campbell was hilarious in his cameo as a snotty theater person. However, Alfred Molina and Rosemary Harris were excellent and superb; bringing air and life to all of their scenes. Well, mostly Molina brought death, but hey! However, my favorite performance was one of the more brief ones. Willem Dafoe's brief return near the end of the film. Most people thought he was horrible in the first movie, but I thought he was wonderful. He gave just the right amount of leverage to his brief appearance and creeps the living daylights out of me. I have a week spot for those creepy performances. All and All, well worth watching
