Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2004)

I am not really a fan of the Spiderman comic book, but I am familiar with Spiderman and I do believe the movie, Spiderman 2, has done justice to Stan Lee's creation. The story may have been adjusted a bit in order for it to be adapted onto the big screen, but the basic presentation of Spiderman was excellent. The director, Sam Raimi was successful at making the audience feel for Peter Parker. He did a good job at showing the contrast between the normal person, Peter Parker, and the hero, Spiderman. When I watched the film I couldn't help but feel for spidey when all the things in his life were slowly falling apart. Toby, on the other hand, was also very good at playing the web slinger. He was convincing as Peter Parker as well as spiderman (with the help of the great special effects of course). Alfred Molina also played as a formidable adversary for Spiderman and played a very good villain in the movie. The movie in general was great, with the right balance of drama and action to keep the audience glued to the screen. This movie is a must see for all spidey fans, and for those of you that aren't Spideman fans, brace yourself coz you soon will be. Can't wait for the third installment in 2007.
