Best Spider-man film!

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2010)

This is an extremely rare instance in a comic book film where everything, and I mean everything is done right! The characters are developed perfectly, the villain is perfect, the story is perfect, etc.
Tobey Maguire continues to amaze me with his Peter Parker. We feel so much sympathy for him because of him struggling to be Spider-man on top of holding down 2 jobs, college courses, and keeping in touch with his friends, not to mention his love for Mary Jane, which he has to hide for her protection. The villain is Otto Octavius, who soon becomes Doc Oc after an accident involving sustained fusion, causing four mechanical arms to stick themselves as part of his body.
The film manages to keep the conflicts at a settled pace, showing details of all the people in his life, and how they're all affecting his performance as Spider-man, which starts cause him to lose his powers. Even though it feels like a whole lot, the editing makes it feel incredibly smooth so no scenes drag on. The mourning of Uncle Ben, Harry's hate for Spider-man, his relationship with Mary Jane, Aunt May's bank issues is all shown in perfect detail without being overlong or overblown. The action is still really nice, the effects are much better in this one.
Honestly, I don't have any complaints, this film pretty much hit everything. The drama, the comedy, and the fantasy is all there. Not only is this the best Spider-man film, but this is my second favorite comic book film of all time. Whether or not you're a comic book fan, I highly recommend it.
