One of the best Superhero movies ever made!

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2017)

Directed by Sam Rami
Starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and Alfred Molina
Overall: This movie is one of the greatest superhero movies ever made and is truly excellent.
Good:
1. Kirsten Dunst does a good job as Mary Jane.
2. James Franco does a 10x better performance than in 'Spider-Man' and you really see his arc develop over the course of the first two movies.
3. Alfred Molina does an absolutely fantastic job as Doc Ock and made one of the best comic book villains ever put to the big screen.
4. Rosemary Harris does a beautiful job as Aunt May and you see the raw emotion of her.
5. JK Simmons does an unbelievable job as J Jonah Jameson.
6. This movie is so much more upbeat than the first movie which I really like. The tone is so much more close to the Spider-Man character and is truly a welcomed change.
7. A unique and interesting doomsday weapon which is NOT a beam in the sky!
8. I really like the cinematography here and think that some scenes are perfectly shot.
9. Top notch action, especially the fantastic train sequence.
10. Excellent visual effects.
Bad:
1. Tobey Maguire was pretty poor in the movie and I just didn't buy his performance.
2. The arc of Peter losing his powers was just pointless and did nothing to enhance the movie, as far as I'm concerned.
3. One little gripe with the movie is that the background of each shot is almost always still. This shouldn't be a complaint but it made the movie seem like a robot and kind of lifeless.
8/10
