awesome sequel to the first.

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2004)

the sequel to spider-man was just as great as i hoped it would be. not only were there awesome action scenes between spidey and doc ock but an underlying romance between peter parker and mary jane. in the 2nd installment of spider-man, i felt there was a lot more drama about what it is really like for peter parker to be a superhero while also trying to maintain a passing grade in college. **SPOILER ALERT** when peter decides that he's had enough of being spider-man, he throws away his spidey costume and is happy...for a little while, at least. soon, he discovers whenever something bad is happening in the city, he feels guilty for not being there to help out. he feels that if spider-man was at the scene of the crime, he could have fought off the bad guys and saved an innocent victim or two. the identity crisis was really intriguing for me. most movies i have a clear idea of what i think the main character should do and why he (or she) should do it. however, in spider-man 2, i found it difficult to take sides with peter parker or his alter ego-spider-man. as for peter parker, i agreed that the poor guy should give up being the hero and work on his own life. on the other hand, i felt like the city might just collapse if spidey quit.**spoiler alert over** anyway, this movie is ideal for anyone who's a really spidey fan, or if you like action that offers more than guns and blood, (even though spider-man is not without these things) and a really interesting plot. GO SEE IT. i give it 4 and 1/2 out of 5 stars
