Sam Raimi's Spider-Man was an exhilarating, entertaining film but it had some expositional legwork to do to set up the franchise. Spider-Man 2, however, is just a pure joy. It oozes style and attitude and looks like it was ripped directly from the comic-book pages. The script is great, the action sequences are great, and it has a depth of character rare for a comic-book movie. Watch it, and then please skip the terrible sequel.Spiderman 2 - binary
C'mon. Who ever said spiderman was out? Does anyone remember the original spiderman from the 70's? Well let me warn you this installment of the Spiderman series was spectacular and rewarding. For everyone who wanted to see how the public reacts to Peter Parker's true identity this is a must see film. It was more touching than the first Spiderman, but at the same time it ended off with a great start for part 3 so for anyone deciding on whether or not to watch this movie...do not rely on your spidey sense just take my advice and watch it.Spiderman some more - Will_Lau
After being very impressed with the first one after some skepticism, Spider-man 2 is tackling a sequel with great anticipation and even greater expectations. The way Sam Raimi was able to produce the story of Spider-man with such style, realism and above all, faithfulness to the Marvel original comic is tremendous to say the least. The reason why it took this long to make a live action movie for Spider-man is due to the difficulties in making the action sequences look real and being able to connect all the side stories and characters in a single effort. Although it doesn't look flawless, it is still able to fool the eyes. The characters are also faithfully represented.
Spider-man 2 is a great sequel for many reasons. First it ties right into the original without skipping a beat. Set a few years after the original with all the same actors and characters. Though it differentiates itself enough from the original so you're not watching a clone of the first. It dives deeper into the psyche and the experiences of its main character in order for you to gain a greater understanding of his situation. At the same time it still provide great visuals, pulse pounding action sequences, humorous side sequences and breath taking special effects and camera work. This movies stands head and shoulders above all super hero comic movies. It delivers what a movie goer seeks and leaves them gasping for more. Immediately after viewing, I was pondering what they will do with the next installment and i am sure that the majority of the viewers were thinking the same thing.
The movie is strung together in a great sequence that never ever bores the viewer. The new villain gets a good intro which explains his situation in a neat and tidy manor. Doctor Otto Octavius is a perfect villain which is played and visually represented to perfection. The movements of Doc Ock are fantastic. It's just as i would have pictured it in my mind, if i could... while watching the cartoons or reading
