Spider-Man 2 (2024)

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Spider-man 2 is great it shows that being a superhero does't mean being an all flawless men, it shows what it really be like to be a superhero, like superhero have relationships, they have problems with life, it shows how hard it is to be a superhero, the cg is way better then the last film and fight scenes are really good, Mary Jane is still bland love interest but she has some purpose, i like dr. otto octavius as the villain, overall the film is great go watch it you'll like it

SPIDER-MAN was a highly entertaining film with a serious tone for the most part. Since it was anyways an origin story, that was great. And then came SPIDER-MAN 2, which successfully outdid the first part and cemented itself as one of the best superhero films in the history of world cinema. It's a film which takes the origin story further to an all new level and the result is an intense, emotional, occasionally funny, action packed and highly entertaining superhero blockbuster.SPIDER-MAN 2 has much better humour than the first one. The film connects and resonates emotionally so well that you end up completely rooting for Peter Parker. His failure in personal as well as professional life proves to be touching and even at times, so heartbreaking that you wish to cry along with him. Tobey Maguire's performance is very natural and full of depth. He never stops impressing as Spidey, and portrays him as realistically as possible. Kirsten Dunst does a good job as in the first part, while James Franco impresses even more with a new layer added to his character. And then we have J.K. Simmons whose comic timing evokes loud laughter. But the man who leaves a remarkable impact is Alfred Molina, whose portrayal of Dr. Octopus is phenomenally groundbreaking and entertaining. What's also impressive is that not only Spider-Man, but Dr. Octopus too proves to be a highly entertaining and memorable character. Then we have world class visual effects for which it even won an Oscar, highly exhilarating action sequences, especially that train sequence, and a lot of crowd-pleasing moments sprinkled throughout the film. The message of great powers and great responsibilities continues to resonate throughout the film. And then we have the result: a highly entertaining action film which proves to be the epitome of superhero cinema.

A hero fight the evildoer but a superhero fights toe evil while reforming the evildoer- this is what is expressed in the movie. The spider-man series always has a philosophical elements attached to it. Spider-man needs love and affection to unleash his powers; he knows to fight want not to harm. He manages to counsel Dr Octopus in the end and make him stop the experiment. The fight sequence and revelation of his true identity in front of Mary Jane are interesting.

I saw this film on opening day in 2004, and in November of that year I purchased the Special Edition DVD. Ever since, it has remained one of my favorite superhero films of all time. The actors truly explore their characters, giving them even more life and attitude.Tobey Maguire does excellent work, playing each and every side of Peter's changing emotions with an effectiveness rarely matched. His confliction between honor and desire comes through perfectly. Kirsten Dunst brings more of a fierce backbone to Mary Jane, and James Franco brings a seething hatred to Harry Osborn...at times, you don't know whether to hate him back, or feel for him. J.K. Simmons again "eats the scenery" as J. Jonah Jameson, being extremely funny, yet never outright campy...and Alfred Molina makes a wonderful turn as a wrecked scientist seeking comfort, who then becomes a victim of his own twisted invention.The special effects have improved by leaps and bounds, yet they never aim to distract from the tale. So many films these days let the effects guide the story, rather than the other way around. The "stylized world" remains intact, and is given a grander, bigger feel. But the crowned jewel of this picture, in terms of effects, is really Dr. Octopus' tentacles. Created through a mix of brilliant puppetry and computer animation, they take on a life of their own.The music, reprised and expanded by Danny Elfman, soars to new heights while retaining much of the magic that made his original score so successful. Many of the themes found in "Spider-Man" are present here as well, and there's some new material to enjoy on top of it.As for the criticisms, I have fewer with this than I did with the original. The film still pushes boundaries, but it's more relaxed than last time around. Mary Jane gets soaked again, being at a riverside lair. Her dress is drenched, but the "Wet T-shirt" controversy from the first round is all but absent (the outline of her nipples is still partially visible at one point, but it's very brief). I give Raimi both credit and applause, for listening to those who complained about the similar moment from his 2002 effort.Like the franchise's first entry, this film holds very true to the superhero formula, featuring many battles of epic proportions, As before, citizens are still in peril, and the action sequences feature the familiar acrobatics of the first film. The biggest moment of violence occurs about halfway in, when an unconcscious Ock sleeps at a hospital, while his sentient tentacles kill the medical crew. It's chilling, but not gory. The language in this film is again at a minimum, with remarks present but not overly abrasive.This film gets a 9 out of 10, deducting a single point for violence and minor sexuality. The upright morality of its predecessor is furthered all the more, in the rare case of a sequel that's actually better than the original.
