not worth the hype

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 2004)

Spiderman 2 is a good movie, let me get that out of the way, i will say it was good. But from all the hype i thought i was going to see something amazing, and i walked out not feeling that way. I don't want to use the word disappointed, but i was let down. There is not nearly as much action as i expected, not that action alone makes it good, and many scenes simply dragged along. Doc Oc was not a good of a villain as i was hoping and short of the special effects attached to him, he was forgettable. The love plot between parker and mary jane is played well but is also the main story in the movie. There is really very little action even compared to the first one. All in all i liked it, but it was no where close to being as good as i expected.
