Remarkable!

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2005)

Spider-Man 2 put my faith back into the movies. The action in this film is unbelievable. Just to be able to visibly see the very stories we have read in comic books come to life on the big screen was wonderful. I found myself not wanting the story to end. Many of the movies based on superheroes in a comic book tend not to stick close to the actual story. I personally have been a Spider-Man fan since I was seven. The movie has surpassed my expectation and I certainly look forward Spider-Man 3! The next film sets itself up for a kick butt start. Raimi should take a page from X2 or the Lethal Weapon series and just open the next film with a wild battle. Keep the Tobey thought intro but have him talk over a Spider-Man vs Sandman battle. You can grab the viewer right away and still tell your full story right after. A villain made of sand really doesn't need an intro and these kids clamoring for more action will be satiated enough to let Sam continue to spin his remarkable story and his take on Spider-Man.
