Very Well Done

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2004)

The movie started strangely. It was paced strangely that is. At first i thought the entire movie was going to be this way and i had very low expectations but any doubts i had were quickly dismissed as the movie continued. I had the same doubts about the choice of villain in this movie being Dr. Otto Octavius(Doc Ock) but Alfred Molina did a superb job with the character as did the visual effects department. Tobey Maguire really swayed me with his performance in this movie, i was one of the naysayers of his casting in the first place. Kirsten Dunst was also very good in this. James Franco with his Harry Osborn was perfect being torn between his best best fried and the man he believed killed his father. One of the highlights for me at least was Willem Dafoe's haunting cameo at the end as Norman Osborn.The thing that really got me was the Bruce Campbell cameo. All in all very well done acting, directing, visual effects. Better then the original.
