Surprise! Better than the Original!!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2004)

This movie far exceeded my expectations. The effects were improved, along with the humor, romance, and conflict between Spiderman and his loved ones and enemies. The only fear I have is that there is no way director Sam Raimi can top this effort with the next installment. Details of the movie were given in many of the other reviews, so I won't waste your time. I'm just going to leave it at this: Spiderman 2 is one for the ages. I was never a fan of the comic book, yet I'll will be making many return trips to the theater this summer to see it over and over again; it's that good. Just a side note: went onto the internet to read approximately 10 reviews or so from sources such as Chicago Sun, E! Online, Ebert and Roper, etc... and couldn't find 1 review less than an A, or 4 stars. How could so many critics be wrong? They're not...
