Sam Raimi the dark cult director has proven his worth to the world by dishing out a worthy sequel to his 2002 prance into the world of super-heroes. Raimi adds a mix of excitement and fun as well as comedy in the form of an oriental lady pizzicatoing her violin as she sings the original Spider-man theme.
Doc Ock as he is known played by Alfred Molina is literally a scary villain and one worth the time of movie goers. Alfred Molina adds a mix of exctiement, comedy, and danger that finshes off this film.
The makers could literally stop now and we wouldn't mind because unlike some super-hero movies we at least have two that would stand alone and work and can be refered to as actual super-hero movies.
Sam Raimi succeeds just as Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst succeed in their acting. This is an actual film. I'm anxiously awaiting the third installment.
