See It On The Big Screen!!!

Rating: Null/10 (21 July 2004)

"Spider-Man 2" was great fun to watch, the most exciting $100 million plus budget movie I've seen this year. A lot of it has to do with casting Tobey Maguire as Spiderman. I know it's a comic book, and none of this would ever happen in real life, but it doesn't matter. I cared about what happened to Spiderman, and was on the edge of my seat during the train sequence (the best part of the film), largely due to Maguire's ability to make you care about a guy in a Spiderman suit. Alfred Molina was an inspired choice as Doc Ock, Maguire and Molina had a lot of intense moments together. It was the most visceral, non-cerebral fun I've had at the movies in the last few months! I've never even seen "Spider-Man 1", and I didn't need to, this sequel is completely self-contained. See this one on the biggest screen you can!!!
