In One Word.....UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2004)

This is one sequel that is better than the original and then some. Every so often you have a sequel that improves on the outstanding original,and this one is sum up in one word....UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! "Spider-Man 2" is really that good and is a spectacle beyond belief,but the special effects and action scenes are some of the biggest thrills of the summer and believe me this sequel is positively true to the comic book format and it doesn't disappoint the biggest of all Spidey fans out there including yours truly who was fascinated by the ultimate thrill ride of the summer season and everything you could asked for---all in one picture. Our web-slinging hero meets his most adverse archnemesis yet,who claims to be a mad scientist named Dr. Otto Octavious or Doctor Octopus who also claims to have the power of the sun in the palm of his hand while terrorizing the citizens of New York City(played brilliantly by Alfred Molina). By the time his scheme goes haywire,the sun-screen factor New York City and toward a certain doom needs approaches infinity where the transformation of student Peter Parker/Spider-Man is there to depose of the villain against impossible odds and to save the city from a certain fate is again perfectly played by Tobey Maguire.
Director of the first "Spider-Man",Sam Raimi is again at the helm of the second installment to one of the biggest box-office blockbusters of 2002,is working a screenplay by Tony winning and Oscar winning veteran Alvin Sargent(of "Ordinary People","Nuts")with a story by Micheal Chambon. They expertly modulate the action by juggling personal introspections with some amazing spectacular action-influenced showstoppers that haven't been seen since the first two "Superman" movies with Christopher Reeve and also since the first two "X-Men" films as well. This sequel is well worth the wait and I can't wait for the third installment which hit theatres in 2007.
