Oh you found this page excellent, Brandon here to talk about everyone's love child in the Spider-man series; Spider-man 2. I am in the minority in not enjoying this film as much as the rest of you; not to say that it is a bad film, but well will get into the issues I have with it later in the review. So lets web sling this bad boy on and talk about the plot to this movie. The plot to this movie is an interesting one it has the main plot of Doctor Octopus Vs Spider-man and then has a less interesting sub plot of Peter Parker finding himself. The Doc Ock stuff is fantastic when they introduce him he is not a bad guy. He is a guy who has the whole science experiment gone wrong thing happen to him. Now I feel that his motives on why he is evil is flawed as hell. Ok he wants to finish his project and is willing to rob banks and fight Spidey to finish it. But he wasn't a bad guy so his turn to just straight up killing people makes no sense from a character standpoint. The Peter Parker finding himself subplot is mixed with the Mary Jane love thing and holy crap can you see two people have less chemistry than these two. It is so drawn out and just there to try and demonstrate Peters struggle but it is just poor structure all around. The subplot they should have expanded on and they give only a few 30 second scenes to is the Harry and Peter conflict. While Harry doesn't know who Spider-man is yet they could've expanded on this to help out a sequel that may or may not have shown up. It isn't a bad story, I just have a huge problem with them focusing the entire second act on Peter finding himself. We paid to see Spider-man not Peter go through an identity crisis. The director is Sam Raimi as most of you know and I will give him one thing he can get some pretty damn cool shots in this. The scene below is one of my favorite scenes because it is unlike any other in this movie. Sam Raimi goes back to his roots for a moment and creates what is essentially a horror scene that is just shot as if it was a monster flick. Sam also knows how to shoot fight scenes that are long and exciting the whole time you watch. He only drops the ball with the dialog scenes which I don't entirely blame him or the screenwriters which this is a group script so I can't get into all of them. The acting is fine in this movie the best actor by far is Alfred Molina who is Doc Ock. He does his role perfectly and you actually feel a bit sorry for him at times while also laughing at his dumb jokes, and taking him serious when he talks about peeling flesh off of skin. Tobey Maguire is just a ok Spider-man, by what I mean he is kind of a pussy. Peter Parker (after he is Spider-man) isn't a pushover still he is a funny outgoing guy not some pussy until he wears a mask. Kirsten Dunst CAN NOT ACT FOR SHIT. Every role she has been in she has just chewed the scenery like the beaver she is. Also they make her such a cunt in this movie I don't want Peter Parker to get with Mary Jane because she is this two timing bitch. In the end this movie isn't bad but it is not my favorite Spider-man movie by far. If it is your favorite I didn't mean to offend you in any fashion. I just saw some flaws and honestly I could point out a few more but anyways let me get into the rating. I give this a 3/5. It is a average movie, in comparison to todays super hero movies. Until next time true believers, uh yeah that was bad I'll leave that to Stan Lee.
