Spider Man 2: So much more than a tale of a Stellar Superhero

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2005)

spoiler included in this review. When i first saw this movie, i thought it was good, nothing really special to this movie. But i decided to watch it again and be a real movie critic and look into why so many people loved this movie. I went back and happened to find a wonderful love story, fully developed characters, great acting, and quotes i could take with me out into the real world. For example "sometimes we have to be steady and give up the things we want the most, sometimes even our dreams". A beautiful truth to the world and it was in a summer blockbuster in a superhero comic book movie, the character development of peter parker was absolutely brilliant. You could see the pain within his soul over the heartbreak of Mary Jane and how he grew up in the movie, and realized he is spider man, and peter parker is just the disguise he puts on for everybody. And at the end Mary Jane and Peter come together and its just a beautiful scene of two people in love. This movie was not only a great comic movie but it had characters that seemed all too real to myself and that i rooted for and that i cried with and it was such a good movie all around one of the best in 2004. Alfred Molina does a spectacular job of being a villain and a good guy at the same time, and at the end comes back with the quote "Peter Parker......Brilliant but lazy". How i had a chuckle at that, and it shows Octavius as a good guy and it warms your heart, it did mine. A great performance by everyone, director Sam raimi is so underrated and a great movie overall, one of the best you will ever see. You've got to love it how Aunt May talks about heroes and how they are needed in todays world and she's right we all have heroes inside of us we've just got to find them.
