Action-packed fun, but still corny

Rating: 5/10 (19 July 2004)

The wife and I went to catch this flick after many friends had recommended it. Some even said it was better than the original, which was cheesy, but fun.
Both of us found the movie to be entertaining and fun, but I personally was almost annoyed with just how corny many of the scenes were.
I found the special effects to be very obvious. There were a few scenes involving Dr. Octopus that looked borderline realistic, but far too many Spiderman swinging through the streets scenes that looked like an old video game.
Overall, the best aspect of the movies is the acting of Tobey and the sometimes very funny comic relief injected into the film.
If you spend your money on Spiderman 2 you wont feel you've wasted it. You will be entertained, but in all honesty, I can't say it was a great film by any means. Too much cheese, inconsistency, plot holes, etc. to add up.
