Not what I was expecting, but whoa...

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2004)

To tell you the truth, I never really liked the first spiderman. The Cgi were'nt exactly topnotch and Green Goblin's constant yakle was so annoying. It was a little of an upset, so I expected the same out of this. But when i saw it... whoa... It is'nt only jammed pack full of action that almost sent me jumping from mu seat, it is also a powerful, emotional and touching movie, one of the few action movies (aside from the LOTR trilogy) to ever have moved me. The entire cast was great, but diddo for Alfred Molina. His portrayal as Dr Otto Octavius was great, a kind, idealistic, brilliant and loving scientist. And his turn into Dock Ock as a merciless killing machine was flawless, far better than the corny suited Green Goblin. Even Ock's costume, though simple, was quite convincing. I could see Molina starting to become a personal fave. After watching this, I suddenly find myself hopeful for the sequel, watch the movie, its the best Super hero movie EVER!!!
