Product: Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Rating: 5.0
Inspired
This movie is being hailed as the best superhero movie of all time. This may be true. However, the greater accomplishment of this movie is the portrait of the give and take in life. Peter Parker is broke, tired, and stressed out; he's also Spiderman. With scenes that seem inspired by Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers, the character of Peter Parker finds himself as another one of life's losers. This part of the movie, and the contradictions of life that make the Spider-Man character seem real and human, are what makes this film a movie for movie people, let alone comic book people who would appreciate this film anyway.
