Product: Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Rating: 4.0
This film is surprising...
Terrifically charged and different than its predecessor, Spider-Man 2 is a must for lovers of the comic book and anyone who enjoys emotional and enriching storytelling. The special effects can either wow you or make you smell cheese, but that isn't important here. This time out, we get a level of emotion unlike anything seen on the screen in the past year and a line-up of incredible action sequences. MaGuire and Dunst are great young actors who need their proper credit. Anyone who misses this summer blockbuster should be jealous--it is truly a good film, even if you aren't into fantasy, with laughs, sadness, and action movie fun and intensity all balanced out by a sweet romantic subplot that is nearly THE plot. Now, I am actually hoping for a great sequel!!!
