Makes "Batman" look like "Batman Forever"...

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2004)

Wow...simply wow. It's hard to imagine how a comic book movie could have its action over- shadowed by it's dramatic content (which is not to say that it lacked in action at any time). Toby Maguire, Al Molina, and the rest of the cast flourish in this film, and Kirsten Dunst outdoes herself, bringing viewers to the verge of tears in several scenes, using nothing more than a facial expression. The human aspect of this movie tops the charts for comic movies, action movies, and most movies in general. The action is also flawless and riveting, having improved the CG even more since the first film. Just listen for the collective relief-sighs of a sold-out theater... True edge of your seat action worth seeing several times. This is Sam Raimi's induction into the ranks of the greatest filmmakers of this, or any, century.
