Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2004)

Funny, I thought I was gonna see an arc for JK Simmons. Oh, and that scene? Impressive sleight of hand by Spidey right... Speaking of arcs, I won't give much away but was VERY pleased to see an arc for Octavius's character...... I thought the finale was gonna be a rehashing. But not it wasn't. Its got cohesion... sure its got lines that weren't very impressive. And oh, speaking of cohesion there were scenes that once you watch them you felt that Koepp in the first film had precognitavely setup when in fact the writers of this second film DEVICED their own creative ways to put in the payoffs.
Hmmmm...... one problem is that I don't remember it being explained why Spidey got rusty on his powers. Lack of protein?
The scene in the hospital where Ock wreaks havoc tips off Raimi's skill as a horror man... True, some scenes were LOUD but because of the thrill and the excitement that is DELIVERED so well by this movie, I can't complain... or rant... maybe in later viewings I'll see parts where this falters (besides some of the unimpressive lines)
I think this movie has the spirits of light, saturday matinee classics such as BACK TO THE FUTURE or RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Will this grace my DVD collection? I don't know, I'm thinking about it.
By the way, I wonder how much they paid Willem to make that cameo.
It may not be the most artistic film this year, but its FUN and nonetheless I'm giving it an A+
