Almost good as the first but still not better than the original Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movie

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2019)

This was an alright sequel but could have been much better. I love Spider-Man (2002) to death, I love Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) to death my all time favorite film. I love Peter Parker/ Spider-Man character he is my favorite superhero. This movie too me was a lighter tone, I like this film just it is not my favorite. It was just less action and more dramatic movie than sci-fi action. It more focus on Peter Parker's life and Spider-Man character's life than on the story it self's. I did like Peter Parker's hard life that he was poor but where is the action and the excitement in this movie? It is all gone.
I like that Sam Raimi come back and that they bring back Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco and Rosemary Harris, while Cliff Robertson and Willem Dafoe return only in a cameo role one scene. Alfred Molina as Otto Octavius / Doctor Octopus was an alright villain but he wasn't terrifying or menacing enough like was Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn / Green Goblin, Octopus just wasn't. I thought he was a weak villain and I just didn't understand the character at all what did he want to do with tritium to fuel his reactor, what did he wanted too do? I didn't understand the science.
Tobey Maguire was flat too me as Peter Parker he quit been Spider-Man and he was losing his powers that was stupid idea in my opinion. Peter running on the roof with his glasses on it, he was really ugly man too me. He looked ugly in my opinion. Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson fall flat in my opinion all she did was complaining about Peter not coming too see her show and she was caring all about her show. She was selfish ungrateful and that a lot. She was engaged to another guy and Peter had to live with his quilt. Kirsten Dunst in this movie just wasn't likable, like she was in the first movie. She wasn't hot, sexy and supportive enough like she was in the first movie. Screenplay David Koepp was replaced by Alvin Sargent that is why the movie wasn't good as the first was. James Franco as Harry Osborn was a terrible friend to Peter and their bond of friendship fall flat.
I did however liked special effects for Spider-Man suit and Doctor Octopus they were good CGI excellent effects. I like that Spider-Man fights off Doctor Octopus on a train roof and safes all those people on a train a young mommy with a baby on it, I love that in this movie. I liked the song playing on the end of credits Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional I love that song on the end of the film I love the song so much. Spider-Man 2 however was better as - The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 it was more decent too me than 2 awful movies with Andrew Garfield.
Not much to say about the movie anymore it is a good movie just I wish there would be more action in it, more stronger villains and I also wish Mary Jane wouldn't have found out Peter secret on the end of the film. I wish we would have a stronger ending like the first movie had which was a bad-ass ending in the first movie. I like this film just it is not my favorite and this sequel had a weak ending in my opinion.
