Spiderman 2? Pretty good for a sequel!

Rating: 8/10 (15 January 2011)

Considering the fact that almost every sequel out there sucks, I was very surprised and pleased to see that Spiderman 2 pretty much lived up to its word. Slightly weaker since most of the characters were already introduced in the first movie, but the action and story helped it stay new and fresh.
It starts where it left off. The characters have grown a bit, but you can still tell they are the same people, both character and actor wise. In the first movie I could easily relate to the nerdy reject. In the second movie he's less of a reject and more of a mix between a nerd and a popular kid. Just like how I feel. Into girls but also into science.
I enjoyed the... "mature" (if that word even works for this context) way they had some of the characters find out who Spiderman really was. They didn't have any unnecessary scenes, each one, each person who finds out, each things that Spiderman does, all helps the movie go forward.
This is only rated 8/10 due to swearing. But other than that, I'm very impressed and am looking forward to the sequel Tonight!
