An excellent performance

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2004)

Wow, what a perfect performance! I wonder if there is any way you
can not like this movie. You can maybe not like the story, because
you find it ridiculous, but everybody will have to admit that this
movie is entertaining. It's funny, it's exciting, it's original Â… I think
it's even better that the first part, which was already an excellent
movie. The best thing about "Spiderman" is that you can just lay back and
enjoy it. The story is easy to understand, you'll be perfectly
entertained. The characters are interesting and the actors are
credible and well chosen by the casting staff (except Mary Jane's
boyfriend, he's very boring, but perhaps he's supposed to be). I
especially liked the contrast between the friends Peter Parker and
Harry Osbourne, who are in the same age, but so different: Peter,
the shy student, and Harry, the professional businessman. And
Peter's boss at the newspaper is absolutely wonderful, although
he is one of the negative characters. The "bad guy" Doc Octopus
was also shown from his humane side, which I liked very much,
and these tentacles that had taken control over him were really
scary, they reminded me of snakes and seemed to be alive. Full rating for this movie!
