Product: Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Rating: 5.0
dang near perfect
OK, I'm not going to cover the plot as every one already has. I am going to say that Spiderman 2 was superior to the original, and I greatly enjoyed the original. There was a lot more character development in this one, which is one reason it has gotten such rave reviews. I actually sympathized with peter, though after the end of the first one and seeing the trailer i thought he was too whiny, the film shows why he did what he did. And of course the movie delivered on the Stan Lee and Bruce Campbell cameos. I was surprised to see willem defoe return. The action scenes are spectacular, despite the beatings spidey took, i cringed when he fell off the building and bounced off those two cars.Though excellent, this film does have its flaws. First, doc ock's tentacles don't have a personality, it was an interesting take and cool to see him talking to one, it just seemed to echo green goblin a bit too much, science experiment going wrong and leading to split personality villain. Second, Venom is not the villain in three, I know Harry becomes the green goblin in the comics so it had to happen eventually, and to the reviewer who said that it was cliche, raimi was just following the story. I just wanted to see venom as the villain, hopefully in 4. anyways hope that helps, I really want this movie to make more money then the passion cause that movie sucked.
