Spiderman is back and just as good as the first movie!

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2005)

Spiderman 2 is an excellent sequel to the first Spiderman movie.
The story pick up were Spiderman left of, but now Peter Parker (Maguire) has problems with making his job, his school work and the whole saving New York thing go together. He loses his job and lacks behind his school work and when his superpowers have stopped working, well, then he's had enough. There's of course a new villain in town, Doc Ock (Molina) that wants to redo a failed experiment and thus must steal stuff from all over New York and Parker is soon forced to climb into his Spidey outfit
The film is very good and the characters get more fleshed out, especially Peter Parker and Harry Osborne (Franco). We also follow Osborn in his hunt on Spiderman to avenge his fathers death.
All of this is mixed up in a humorous and exciting sequel. Parker may seem sometimes a bit too clumsy and you wonder how he can be a superhero, but I guess it was necesarry to give him a more human side. You feel sometimes that it's too much talk and too little action, but the action sequances are very good and breathtaking, especially the one on the monorail.
I highly recommend this movie. 8/10
