 "Super Sequel" | 2009-10-17 |

| Usually studios make sequels to mine an already played out vein. By keeping the same actors and continuing the franchise with a relatively short delay, the continuity made the film work. Fine performances by the leads were enhanced by the tremendous special effects. An excellent movie not just a weak rip off of an earlier work. |

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Spider-Man 2 not only maintains the extroadinary story telling, action, and acting from the previous film, but it improves! It is arguably the best Marvel film of all time! (X-Men 2 is in this same category). From beginning to end, Spider-Man 2 is an inspiring and exciting tale that will have you wanting to watch again and again.
Like I said about the first film, the best part about this film is its story. One of the best things about this film are Spider-Man's struggles. Spider-Man is caught up on whether he should live a normal life or live as Spider-Man. Both come with their positives and negatives, and Spider-Man doesn't know what to do. The stress that he has to deal with is something of us have to deal with. Choices are very important, and sometimes it can be hard to make the right choice.
The other great thing about this film is the villain. Whereas the Green Goblin in the previous film was just utterly insane and evil, Doc Ock fights for a greater cause. He believes what he is doing is right, even if he is being controlled by his mechanic arms. With a villain that you can feel sorry for, Dok Ock brings further emotion and excitement to the story.
All in all, Spider-Man 2 is a must see for both fans and newcomers alike. |

The action is always simple and direct : save the victims of the bad guy. The method is always the same: stop the bad guy's mechanics by throwing a few strings in its gears. The rest of it is building up a network, in that case a cobweb. But this is a film, not an electronic game and we are at the cinema not in front of a game console. So the film adds a good layer of sentimental events and feelings. The girl friend from far behind. She is afraid and fascinated. She is jealous and possessive. She is maybe adult and open-minded. That kind of stuff gives to the film some interesting dimension. In the same way, in this film in particular, the super hero loses and even chooses to lose his powers, for a while at least. This whole dimension of a normal guy, a normal boy capable of normal feelings and cowardice is exploited here to reveal the other super-hero dimension is both a choice and a responsibility, a responsible choice and a chosen responsibility. Then the film can work as a film and not a dumb computer game. Then the bad guy has a new dimension. He is the self-victimized inventor of a machine that will destroy the world. But keep in mind that the solution to sink that nuclear fusion machine in order to kill it is rather primitive in intellectual value. But it is full of emotional pulpy strength. The fear of nuclear power is also typical of the beginning of this century when the oil companies were still the masters of the energetic game. We have since then entered the final stage of that oil dominance and we have to consider other solutions, particularly that do not produce carbon dioxide. It is also a reflection of a way of thinking in these 2002-2006 years: nuclear energy was only seen from the American point of view as basically criminal either in the hands of criminal individuals (that's the case here) or in the hands of criminal states. Luckily this dimension is aging pretty fast.

Spidey does NOT take his mask off EVER!!!! Doc Ock, Harry, MJ, a TRAINLOAD of passengers ALL know who he is or at least what he looks like. C'mon Raimi you wad, cut the unmasking crap you are a loser and keep spidey's mask on. You idiot. I can't believe you are responsible for The Evil Dead one of the best flicks OF all time.
Also note the cameo on the train by the redneck Jake A.K.A.Danny Hicks from Evil Dead 2. |

A week after I purchased this, Target had it on sale for $5.00.
I did not realize that it is inconvenient to return things, example: I have to pay shipping as this is not an error on your part. I am new to online shopping and need to stay away from it.
I had also purchased Once Upon a time in Mexico and realized it was dupe, already had it and asked to return, but, thought it is not worth it getting charged for shipping so kept the movie.
