Product: Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Rating: 4.0
4 1/2 Stars, An Excellent Continuation....
Ok folks, I saw the premiere last night in Grapevine, TX at the 12:01am showing of this movie on opening day, June 30, 2004. I was NOT disappointed.Spiderman is one of the all-time great superheroes, telling an under-dog story that reveals the American theme and dream. This story is a great addition to the movie genre and Spiderman folklore alike.The thing I like most about this movie is that it follows the TRUE story line of the comic. Yes, there are a few minor details they changed for updated features since it is now 2004 and not in the mid-20th century when Spiderman was born, but overall the story unfolds the same way it did in the comic. In my opinion, this is why it is so successful.I do not like when story lines are changed from the original. This robs the original plot and details and takes away the thing that has made the story great...its truth. Spiderman would not have stood the test of time if the original story hadn't been any good. It was good, and that is why it is still around today. And this movie does a great job of keeping that story alive.I won't tell you about the plot of happenings of this movie. If you saw the first one, go and see this one. You won't be disappointed. The only disappointing thing for me is if they limit this to a Trilogy.Spiderman movie guys....Mr. Stan Lee and Ang Lee...may a make a suggestion? Keep Spiderman true. Don't be like the last Batman movie, changing the Dark Knight into the "'60's TV show-Batman and Robin-Public Servant". If you do this, you could make 10 Spiderman movies and they will all be well received.Great Job!!!
