Product: Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Rating: 3.0
disappointed
This movie actually has everything. Action, drama, romance, comedy, special effect etc. The problem is that all these categories fail to be very mediocre in it. I'm a big fan of the first Spider-Man movie, and I think this one is very mediocre in all aspects.First, it was so cheesy and phoney at times I couldn't believe it. I'm talking about the special effects and the dialogue. The special effects and stunts were overall OK, but in times looked like a computer game or a cartoon or something. It looks much more realistic in the first movie.The dialogues in the first one was also much better and obviously less cheesy than here. Pete's aunt is great, but seriously talks too much. The dialogues between the other characters were often very lame and sometimes seem like they were made for 8 year-old children.Like I said before, Sam Raimi blends here many styles: drama, action, comedy etc. It the first movie it came out great; not in this one. It felt very rushed and confused here.The ending was so unbelievably cheesy and corny. The cheesiest ending I've ever seen. I'm talking about the last 5 minutes. Those who watched it know what I'm talking about.I probably sound very negative so far, maybe I just had very high expectations after watching the first movie. but there are positive things too. I gave it 3 starts because I think it was overall OK, it's very entertaining and fun. also, unlike other superhero films, Spider-Man 2 has a HUGE heart. It deals with everyday life questions and friedship and is very kind-hearted. The heart thing is basically the major difference between the Spider-Man series to other superhero movies.
