better than the first, great visual effects

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2004)

I loved this film, both for plot and for characters interactions. Furthermore, the emotional tone of the story, along with the excellent acting and visual effects, makes it one of the best super-hero movies ever. What I appreciated the most is the ability to show Peter Parker's pain and suffering for being this great hero, unable to live a normal life and to love the beautiful Kirsten Dunst. Tobey Maguire is really convincing and impressive in his role, as the nerd guy turned into a hero; Raimi depicts greatly his sensitivity and vulnerability and makes him integrate flawlessly with MJ, who, in spite of her worldwide success,always gets to be the next-door beauty. I liked even the first spiderman, but unlike usually this sequel outdoes the original in every way.
