Brings the comics and cartoons to life

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2004)

I am a big fan of Spiderman and loved the cartoons as a kid. When the first was made, everyone was worried whether it would butcher the original story. Luckily the first was a success, and good viewing.
But after viewing number two, in my opinion, this was a far better film than the original. The action was spot on and kept me hooked. The script was good, and a little surprising toward the end.
I thought every actor performed well throughout, and i personally preferred Molina's (i hope i spelt his name right!) acting as a villain, compared to Defoe's in the first. (Defoe did sometimes appear to power ranger enemy like from time to time).
I would say for all the films that have been based on Marvel and DC Comics, Spiderman two for me has now come into the few films that were brilliant (others i liked were Batman 1 and 2, Blade, and Superman). Getting Stan Lee involved is another bonus to keep the original Spiderman legacy alive, and Spiderman 2 was an excellent watch.
Would recommend this to any true Spiderman fan, and a definite DVD in my collection. A great sequel, and well deserved in the top 250 list.
