Probably my favorite Marvel movie. Everybody loves a hero!

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2016)

I was super engaged and blown away with this sequel, when I first saw it in theater. And for the most part this movie is so good with it's execution that it holds up even when it comes to today's standards. When it comes to the plot, it really delves into the mindset of Peter Parker and the sacrifices he is willing to make for the people of New York and his loved ones. And the struggles he is facing when it comes to financial issues and his selfless acts of pushing the things he wants away so others wouldn't get hurt. For a young adult it really shows why Spider-Man is such a awesome comic book superhero and I felt sympathy for the guy. So overall it's execution of balancing out Peter Parker's life as a nerd that is in love trying to get by and his superhero duties was done almost flawlessly. Because it really shows the price the hero is willing to pay for others. I also liked the portrayal of the villain more this time around, Doctor Octopus is one of my favorite villains when it comes to Spider-Man after all. I really liked how you can understand the villains point of view, you may not necessarily agree with his methods. But I could understand where he was coming from, because sometimes bad things come about from good intentions. The fight choreography is also much better this time around, the fight with Doc Ock is bigger and just more fun to watch. It's exactly how I would have wanted Spider-Man vs. Doctor Octopus fight to play out. And the train sequence about about 85% of the way through is not only heroic but uplifting and even enticing to sit through. There is even emotional scenes that actually works instead of it feeling like it's forced when it comes to the plot as a whole, which is quite a achievement when it comes to superhero movies. This is a life changing story when it comes to Peter Parker. And is can be a perspective changing movie for viewers when it comes to superhero movies because of how good it is. Like Aunt May says about a hero, a "courageous self-sacrificing people setting examples for all of us" and that is exactly what this film shows.
10/10
