Mind blowing performance!

Rating: Null/10 (8 July 2004)

After seeing the first SM, I was a little unsure about seeing this one. I must say, I am overly glad that I did.
The characters had a lot more personality in this one. They didn't just play it safe with the lines and the acting. Most importantly, they didn't have the character throw a little hissy fit when his life and the press turned against him (i.e daredevil and the kid being afraid of him). Instead, they had a detailed story about the personal conflicts in his life and all of his troubles/struggles.
Instead of having the general 'look what I can do' superhero movie, they made it more of a 'who am I?' movie. They didn't just compile a bunch of CGI scenes worth countless millions and call it a movie (don't get me wrong, they had plenty of CGI in this as well), then throw a story in as a backdrop. They had a story, they had action, comedy, drama, romance, suspense, and a great sense of depth and reality all in one. They also chose a great line of scenes for the trailers, which throughout the movie, left you waiting in suspense to see what happens.
I'd definitely advise anyone who hasn't seen it, to go see it.
9/10
