Still Swinging after all these years

Rating: 7/10 (20 November 2019)

Spider-Man 2 is still my favourite film of the original Sam Raimi trilogy for a number of reasons. It really does feel like it's faithful to the comics and really does feel like a comic-book put to film. The story is well paced and never feels bland, dull or feels like it drags in any scenes. It is a very fast moving film that introduces a number of important characters very well with style and class. It is also a very crisp looking film which is very smartly shot and written with character that do feel three dimensional. Otto Octavious in this film is an electrifying villan and still the best out of the original trilogy aswell as the newer MCU films aswell, who is only topped by Octavius in the PS4 Spider-Man game when it comes to character.
Overall the character development and story in the film is very depthed with entertaining action sequences. The Hero speech from Aunt May is still heartfelt after all these years. It does feel corny in some part of the movie but that's all part of the movie's charm. It's still an awesome ride after over a decade
