Empty pop corn

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2004)

SPIDER MAN 2 has great sound design. Listen as our hero (Tobey "The Greedy Blue Eyed" Maguire battles Doctor O (Alfred Molina) and gets tossed into walls and through cars and breaks lots and lots of glass.
In fact, the sound is a true offspring of the mother of all action flicks: T2 (remember Arnie battling the T-100 and the amazing advances Jimmy Cameron and co made).
SPIDER MAN 2 has dazzling effects. Watch as he flies through the air and rescues the beautifully dressed Mary Jane Watson (Kiki Dunst). Or saves her from a tumbling automobile (noticing a fascination with motor vehicles?).
Finally, SPIER MAN 2 has a tremendous cast and crew. Sam Raimi is a master of the visual eatery, while Maguire and Franco hold potential for an incredible show down.
Unfortunately, like its predecessor, SPIDER MAN 2 has a stinky script. Words are forced and Harry Osborne's character (Franco) has nowhere to go.

As a result, the picture is a box of empty popcorn: delightful on the outside but disappointing on the inside cause not a single kernel actually exists.
