The Amazing Spider-Man!!!
Spider-Man 2 is one of the best films released so far this year, as well as one of the best superhero films ever released. The movie is packed with action, humor and emotion. It is a love story disguised as a comic book movie and it works great. Unlike most films of its ilk, it knows how to balance the action and the emotion, with well placed moments of humor, to make a film that is more complete than any popcorn film has ever been or deserves to be. Tobey Maguire fully embodies the angst-ridden hero and is the perfect Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Kirsten Dunst is great as the object of parker's affection, and James Franco expands onhis role very well. Alfred Molina is perfect as Doc Ock, letting his subtle emotions and occasional quips do the talking, instead of being hammy and bloating the film. Sam Raimi has made an excellent sequel that outdoes its predecessor in every way. This is the movie of the summer!
