Spider-Man 2 another horrible movie in the vein of the first.

Rating: 2/10 (27 March 2005)

Well, I just got a chance to watch Spider-Man 2 again. I must say this is a bad movie. Period. Every time I get into and think "ahh, this isn't that bad" something stupid happens or there's some cheap crappy effect. Let's start at the beginning the whole pizza scene was absolutely horrible. I mean who cares. Spidey has these amazing powers and this is what he does with them? I know he wants to be a normal guy but this is just stupid. What else? Well, Otto introduction was horrible. Those stupid arms and the control mechanism in the back of his neck. Isn't it enough that through his actions his woman was killed and now he's obsessed with getting it right for her sake? Now everything he does is governed by these arms. Oh and then there's the Evil Dead like scene with the arms in the hospital. None of that is called for. Some of that stuff was pretty brutal. Not that I personally have a problem with violence but I wouldn't let my kid who'd want to see this movie see that. Save it for darker comic characters like The Punisher or Black Widow. And I absolutely hate the whole "I don't want to be Spiderman and now my powers go bye-bye." What a load of crap. And yes I know that idea was pulled from a comic but some of comics pro including Lee himself said maybe that wasn't the best idea. It's a bad idea simply because of the purpose of Spidey. "With great power comes great responsibility." Take one away and Spidey in pointless. That's one of the problems he faces in the comics he can never give up being Spidey because the powers are aways there. And the train scene was total crap. Let's take the word of a little kid that nobody's going to tell anyone of my identity. Meanwhile, you can picture someone running out the back of the train to break the news. But what's it matter, by the end of the movie half of New York know's who he is. Over all this movie isn't worth the time. It's a bad story and other than Ock and JJ there's nothing but bad acting to go with it.
