When the Factory Of Dreams DO Works

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2005)

Spiderman 2 is just amazing. Even the titles are great (thanks to Mr. Alex Ross). Nice production, perfect timing, moments for drama or action, moments for romanticism, and some astonishing special effects. Spiderman 2 is one of those movies that worth the money they've spent on it. Sam Raimi has finally left behind the shadow of "Evil Dead" and makes clear that you can count on him to do anything (specially if you want to see a man jumping' from one NY building to another).
Tobey Maguire perfectly plays the spider-man, and Kirsten Dunst is still MJ, Spiderman's beloved. They two make a wonderful couple. This time Alfred Molina plays the wicked one, and it's nice to see him playing such a different role (from those he uses to play).
Cinema and comics have never get on well, but sometimes there's a perfect connection between them: Tim Burton's first "Batman", The Crow, and, of course, this Spiderman.
My rate: 7.5/10
