Product: Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Rating: 5.0
Judging from the trailer I saw before "The Punisher".. wow.
I saw the new film "The Punisher" based on another famous Marvel charater last weekend. By the way that one was immaculate too, you gotta see it. Anyways, I saw a trailer for Spider Man 2 before it came on and judging from what I saw, this will be hands down the greatest movie of the summer and I think it will shoot up to the money mark the first one made perhaps even more so. The original key players return excluding the dead ones (i.e. Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin) with a few new ones like Alfred Molina's Dr. Otto Octavius or better known to comic book fans as Doc Ock. Like the first, it will sport good CGI battle sequences and pyrotechnics. But I hope that Molina can pull his character off. He looked like a good candidate for Ock in the trailer, but it's like the lesson I learned last summer. Hulk had a great trailer that made me green with anticipation but when I saw it, it was one of the worst superhero films of all time. It ranked with Batman and Robin and I have an undying hatred for that crapfest. But I hope that Spidey 2 can pull the tricks that made the original so good. If the Hulk incident happens again, I'll never go see another superhero film. I have faith in it though. I mean it's Spider Man. It can be redeemed with that Venom and Carnage story if it bombs.
