Fantastic! Even better than the first.

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2005)

Luckily for me, I first saw this movie at the cinemas where basically everything you see there is a better experience than at home on the sofa. The picture is clearer, sound perfect, and lighting is great. It was particularly so in this picture because of the great action sequences made with the special effects. The scenes that mostly gave me tingles were the ones where Spidey and Doc Oc fought one on one, especially the train ride scene.
Moving on to the story, I thought the plot was excellent, sticking to the very well known comic book created by Stan Lee. The acting was well done by lead Richard Maguire, who to me was the perfect choice for Spidey. Kirsten Dunst is fine as Mary Jane Watson, Alfred Molina as well with his performance as Doc Oc. Franco's performance is quite good too as the tortured Harry, as J.K. Simmons is always funny as J. Jonah Jameson.
All in all, the story is great, acting excellent and special effects wonderful. This is sure one of the best movie's I've seen all year.
