I'm a very satisfied fan.

As a lifelong fan of the comic-book i do not need to mention that my expectations were very high indeed going in to see this movie....well I guess I kinda mentioned it anyways. Lets get down to it then! I loved the first movie and I love the second one just as much. I did not find that Spiderman 2 was better than the first one though, but it was just as good. I do not really think the comic book could have been realized in a better way than this. Sam Raimi captures everything from Peters personal inner struggles to the fabulous dynamics in the fight scenes between Spiderman and Doctor Octopus extremely well. Most of the special effects were great and a few lacked some in my opinion, but it did not matter strangely enough. If some of the effects looked a bit cartoony in some scenes, It must be because the Sam Raimi wants it to have that cartoonish feel and look....thats what I tell myself anyways. But it was truly a great movie indeed and well worth being viewed many times over again. As a fan for life, i'm very satisfied and can only look forward to the third installment (SPOILER COMING UP!!!) where our hero must again battle the Green Goblin and the Lizard as well it seems (Dr.Connors is being introduced)....coool. Personally I would have liked to see some of Spideys other great enemies come to life on the big screen for the third film, like The Sandman,or Venom but i guess I can wait until the fourth film.
