Spider-Man 2: Review

This has always easily been my favourite movie of the first three Spider-Man movies. Even though Tobey wasn't that good in it, and he was still very irritating, it still has its good moments. Like the train scene (the picture below).

I think I could have enjoyed it a bit more if his costume was slightly different. Maybe if in the first one he had webs under his arms to make it more like the comics, and in this one he didn't have the webs anymore.

The whole plot behind Dr Octopus was fun, and I think the script of this one was more thought of how kids could enjoy it, and being my favourite childhood superhero, and I was only 4 when it came out, I really enjoyed it. I didn't understand everything back then, but last time I watched it, I was actually quite impressed. That scene with Peter nearly running his boss over made me upset, as he was THAT irritating, he should have gone to hospital! Then of course he says "go" in that weird voice, and that just made me laugh!

When Spidey saves those two kids and then they say "yes Mr Spider-Man" made it sound a little peadophilic, and slightly funny. I don't really like the love plot between MJ and Pete, but that's just me.

The fact that Pete's grades are falling in class seems realistic, as if in your spare time,  you wonder about New York in a spandex suit fighting crime with webs coming out of every body part, your grades in class are bound to slip. But when he gives all of that up and tries to be normal again for a couple of scenes, it is just not needed. I don't really like that, and that music that played was irritating too!

Stan Lee's cameo made me laugh when he was dodging debris, and most of the movie was generally funny, even in the emotional bits. But lets just clarify. Sam Raimi isn't brilliant with emotional scenes!

I think that's all I need to mention, so overall, I agree with the IMDB and I'll give it a 7.4/10.

My next review'll be Spider-Man 3, my least favourite Spider-Man movie ever made.
