FANTASTIC

Rating: Null/10 (26 July 2004)

This film was good from start to finish from the little "montage" introduction sequence featuring key moments from the first film to the action packed sequences featuring Spiderman and Doc Ock.
What makes this better is that there is no story-line to set-up now, all the necessary characters are already accounted for, and it gives the audience more of an exciting Spider-man film!
Doc Ock is a worthy villain (although not as famous as the Green Goblin) and Alfred Molina does a wonderful job as the doctor. He pulls off being sincere (as the good doctor) and "menacing" just as brilliantly!
This film picks up where the last movie left off, with Peter trying to juggle between being Spiderman, a job and college. And in each respect, he seems to not be doing particularly well! In between this, Peter is still trying to maintain a "relationship" with MJ and Harry!
During the film, Peter has many "revelations" about himself and about the people he cares about, and makes a "significant" choice about his future!
This film is MUCH better than the original and the ending sets up the plot nicely for the third film!
If you like Spiderman... GO WATCH THIS FILM!
