My FAVORITE Movie.

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2017)

Okay, I'll start off by saying that I'm a bit bias. I LOVE Spidey. He's been my favorite fictional character since birth, so understandably, I would love this film. But I don't love this film, because I love the character in it. I love this film simply because it is a great film.
Nearly every character in Spider-Man 2 is completely fleshed out. Even the villain has a motivation, and a reason behind his actions. That's something that I've always appreciated in a film. When you can emphasize and get behind each character. ESPECIALLY Spider-Man. You really feel his struggle through out the film. Him trying to be there for his Aunt, trying to keep a friendship, trying to be a super-hero, and trying to be there for his girlfriend all gets extremely overwhelming for the viewer. And that, to me, is fantastic writing. Sam Raimi really understood Spider-Man so well, which makes so many memorable scenes in this film like, the train fight sequence, the "Spider-Man No More" scene, and Peter walking down the street, eating a hot dog, while "Raindrops keep falling on my head" plays in the background.
Sure, there are a couple of flaws In this film like Kirsten Dunsts acting, but that's really just a nit-pick, because nearly every one else does a fantastic job portraying their characters. Tobey Maguire is an excellent Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Alfred Molina is a VERY menacing and interesting Doctor Octopus, and J.K Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson is easily one of the best casting decisions ever made.
Everything I just talked about, is why Spider-Man 2 is such a great movie, and why it's my favorite movie of all time. I can go on talking about how good this film is, but I think you get the point. If you haven't seen this film yet, please do so. It's really that good.
