One of the Best Sequels

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2020)

Not only one of the best superhero sequels but one of the best sequels of all time! This movie goes above and beyond in developing this ravishing world further whilst not straying far from its predecessor. Without hesitation, Sam bullies and knocks Peter Parker down, again in an effort to focus on the man inside the Spider-Man. That being a bigger subject in this chapter of this story as displayed through the 'antagonist' that a minority of fans were displeased with. Despite Doc Ock having limited screen time, in my opinion he is one of the better characters Spider-Man has had to face mainly due to him not actually being the antagonist, moreover a man suffering the same as Peter, fighting the demons inside. The momentous swinging segments were glorious and in a lot ways better than the first movie, growing in power as Peter grows as Spider-Man. In favor of that, Danny Elfman's iconic score is orgasmic to the ears, building an empowering sensation whilst painting Spider-Man as the righteous, morally pure superhero that he is. Although dialogue has that Sam Raimi cheesiness, every character is brilliantly acted, even the characters whom play a small role; and in addition, the gorgeous set designs they stand all corroborate in creating this New York atmosphere that feels ever so lived in. The action is entirely Spider-Man-esk as both characters crawl over New York as though their sandbox, using anything and everything to stop the opposing force. And the mash between CGI and real elements worked incredibly well adding a small amount of realism. Please watch this, it's more than a superhero film and tackles a lot of real life experiences.
