good character development and not-so-bad sci-fi ideas

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2004)

It's a surprise that they made a sequel which does not suck, especially considering it is based on cartoon
character developement is very good and believable, especially for spiderman. he is a hero not because he has super power but because his heart. he never abuses his power and is never corrupted by his own power. (in contrast, no one can escape the corruption of the ring in the Lord of the Rings.) even in his worst times. that may be the reason why people love him. compared to spiderman, other superheros, like Wolverine in X-men, Blade in Blade, even Neo in Matrix, are pretty pale due to insufficient character developement. Spiderman is more like a real guy.
A second good thing is the sci-fi idea in this movie is not so silly. At least the author knows using laser for nuclear fusion, and fusion needs Tridium, and the power of sun comes from fusion. although whether fusion can be realised as in the movie and whether it causes strong magnetic field is dubious. also the mechical tentacles with neural interface and AI is pretty cool. The difficulty of stopping a train is pretty well done. At least the director shows respect for physics, which many other movies do not. it is a good combination of reality with wild imagination.
final conclusion. character is still one of most important elements of a movie. without it even the best CG is garbage.
