Rating: 5.0
An excellent film in every way!
'Spiderman 2' could possibly be the perfect movie. It has action, suspense, romance, drama, and isn't too complicated for the younger audiences. Kids will wow it, adults will be amazed by it.One way that the film is better than the first is through the internalization that Peter Parker must face. He is Spiderman, and he is Peter Parker at the same time. As we learned in the first installation, 'With great power comes great responsibility,' Parker is forced to take this to heart - trying to maintain the delicate balance between Spiderman, being a student, having a job, and making time for friends and family. Not many people would normally think that a being a superhero could be such a strain. The psychological aspect of the film is worth five stars alone.The fight scenes are also stunning. There is more feeling in these scenes, especially as Spiderman's identity is unveiled to the world (on the train). The villains are made eviler, as we know that they truly cannot help themselves. The forces working against Spiderman seem more benign, as Parker seems unable to stop them through his Spidey-ways, but still are pain inflicting.'Spiderman 2' is a sublime movie also because it gives us the power to choose. Ultimately, we must choose our own destinies, our own fates.
