Under promised-over delivered

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2004)

I went to see SpiderMan 2, having heard reports that it wasn't as good as the first one (normally, sequels aren't!)...It's a strange thing under-expectations, as I absolutely loved it...in fact, I liked it better than the first one. Tobey Maguire was great, and sure the plot in general was a bit cliched, mad scientist and all, but the emotion and humour intertwined, made it a great movie experience. The acting all over was terrific, the special effects were magnificent, and it was no trouble to get caught up in the storyline. I gave it a 9/10. Highly recommended.
