no homosexual overtones, just a good ole movie
This movie is fantastic. I do not usually prefer superhero movies, but this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Most of the time, when dealing with computer simulated fight scenes, everything goes so fast you never get any detail. Not so with Spiderman 2. The battles with Doc Ock are fabulous. They interweave a plethora of close-up shots of Spidey and Doc involved in a greatly pugilistic donnybrook with the far screen shots of them falling off buildings and Spidey jumping out of the way of Doc's arms. With this type of action, you only need to suspend your belief for a few seconds as opposed to the entire battle (a la "Van Helsing"). The plot is incredible. It has everything. Action. Drama. A mother's love for her son (even though we all know Aunt May is not technically Peter's mom). A love story between two people who are really in love with Peter and MJ. A deceptively creative subplots like Harry's discovery of his father's Green Goblin gear. I do not think I could reccomend a movie more.
