This just keeps getting better!

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2004)

I saw this movie at a prescreening party the other night and I am so glad I went. This movie is what happens when the right people are put together at the right time to make exemplary work. Spider-man 2 has it all-drama, comedy, romance, intrigue, and jawdropping action. It can simply be a fun summer blockbuster eyecandy flick, or if you decide to invest in the deeper emotional scenarios you can dig as deep as you would like.
Tobey Maguire once again (led by Sam Raimi and his writing team) nails the spirit of Spider-man; to do the right thing no matter what the cost is in the short run. Accept your responsibility to others around you, even at great cost to yourself. This is what made Spidey my favorite character as a kid in the 70's and it's still so important today. Sacrifice is a foreign concept to so many these days unfortunately, and it's pleasantly refreshing to see such a powerful and vivid reminder of it at the multiplex. Go treat yourself and a loved one to this on the big screen, this is modern film-making at its best.
