Amazing. Sensational. Spectacular...

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2004)

... these adjectives are usually in front of the words "Spider-Man" on the comic books in which he stars, and they also are the way I'd describe the movie I saw opening morning at 12:01 AM and again today. It is indeed, as reviewers have been saying, better than the first one. From the opening credits, which I won't spoil for you, to the ending I was hoping for, the movie had me completely enthralled. The action had me on the edge of my seat, the humor had me laughing out loud (and at one point it was hard to stop), and the emotional scenes had me really feeling for Maguire's character. At one point, at the end, I actually started to shed a few tears. I am definitely seeing this movie again, multiple times in the theaters, and am looking forward to each additional viewing.
