Rating: 3.0
Entertaining
For all the big fans of the first film, this one is a no brainer, go see it, buy it, etc.What about the rest of us?If you haven't seen the first film, go rent it before seeing this one, it's really a true "part 2" and while it has enough adventure to be entertaining without knowing all the little details from the beginning of the story, it just won't play as well standing alone.I'm no huge comic book fan, and I had to keep reminding myself during the film that "this is a comic book" and not meant to be a realistic story. However, that being said, I was a bit disappointed that the story, in places, stretched my credibility. Yes, I know that sounds crazy, going to see a film about a guy that turns into a spider and I'm complaining about having my credibility stretched. But listen, if I'm going to accept a premise, say that it's possible that some guy could turn into a ?spider-man?, at least I want the story to stay in the borders its created and not push it even further.The acting was good, the love story well done enough for the genre and all in all I was entertained and enjoyed the movie, however, I'm still sticking with the same assessment that I gave the first movie, it's just an average adventure story with great special effects.
