What a great film

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2005)

Spider-Man left us all with a great heartwarming sense of victory, and after 2 years, everyone was ready for a sequel. The photography, which I felt had what I call a "70's" feel to it, had been erased and everything seemed more up-to-date. Anyway, the film is like a magnet. The story pulls you in and you are drenched in the sorrow of Peter Parker's sad life. Then things change; a new villain rises up.
Doc Ock interrupts Peter's difficult life, and Spidey swings back into action, fighting this ferocious fiend alongside a building. There is a long distance between the next fight and everything in that distance is great. Harry and Peter's friendship begins to take an ugly turn, and MJ finally turns the other cheek when she realizes she can't trust Peter. All of this leads to Peter deciding to give up his life as Spider-Man.
A new, more confident Peter Parker emerges; things seem to become a little brighter, although Harry is falling apart. Doc Ock then requires a chemical and he agrees to bring Spidey to Harry.
Things again go sour for Peter, and he feels he has come to a dead end. Then he goes to help Aunt May and everything changes. Peter decides to return as Spidey. The movie from this point on, has no flaws whatsoever.
Peter goes to meet MJ at a diner, when Doc Ock suddenly comes back (in a very dramatic and cool way) to find Spider-Man. He takes MJ away, and Spider-Man goes and tracks him down. The begin a fight atop a clocktower, and the fight takes them to a train below. This fight is the second best in the series, only the Queensboro Bridge in its predecessor winning. Eventually, Spider-Man loses, and is taken to Harry. I won't spoil what happens next, but Spider-Man fights Doc Ock and he changes again and becomes a normal person, saving MJ and Peter.
The film ends on a cliffhanger (sort of). Where the first film failed (such as random, forgettable scenes) this film surpasses, each minute getting better and better. And now Spider-Man 3 is on the way, and Spdier-Man 2 is the right film to follow-up. Watch the film and enjoy!
