The First Superhero Film That Can Truly Lay Claim To Being A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2004)

This really is masterful film making. I don't think I've ever been as stunned as I was when I came out of the screening this afternoon.
Raimi really has been given the kitchen sink and more with this one. You could see in the first film there was a lot more he wanted to say and God, has he said it. This in my opinion ranks higher than his other truly great film A Simple Plan.
Viewers will also notice a vast improvement in Tobey Maguire's performance, and I truly believe this is Best Actor contention at next year's Oscars. T he train sequence has to be the best action scene ever to grace the screen. Also, the script has no fat at all and has the usual Raimi humour added in for effect.
If you haven't seen this movie, I don't just urge you, I order you to go see this.
God I can't wait for Spider-Man 3.
