| Spider Man 2 (2004) Cast:Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst,Alfred Molina Spidey is torn between his superhero identity and his personal life in which he wants to love Mary Jane Watson, however when Doctor Octavious makes life difficult for everyone he knows he must be Spiderman to save the town and his love. Much better than the original. I really enjoyed this movie. Mainly because while all superhero movies have all the gloss and the right moves all of it seems in vain since none have stories which engage the attention for those who aren't comicbook fans, I'm not a comicbook fan but I tell you I enjoyed this movie a lot, The actionscenes are so spectactular that it beats anything that Hulk and Daredevil tried to do, it's all so well done that I stopped even looking at it as a superhero movie and started enjoying it as just being a great movie, which it is. It's true that I myself like the genre of comicbook heroes because it's usually more enjoyable from the norm, I mean afterall how many movies are there which feature supermen in costumes with powers? Spider Man 2 though is special, a movie made for not only the comicbook geeks that love this but for people like me who just enjoy a good action movie with a superhero presence. I loved it. D.
