Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Directed by Sam Raimi
this sequel stars Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco and
Alfred Molina. Peter Parker struggles to deal with balancing his
personal life and his life as a super hero.
There is a lot to like
about this film and it does have some really good moments but the
problem with this film is when you put it in context of the story of
the original. Nearly the entire first film was about the consequences
of the protagonist “rejecting the call” and coming to terms with
being a super hero so going over the same ground again in the sequel
does feel redundant. As a pure piece of entertainment the film is
pretty good although it does threaten to veer into Richard Lester
Superman territory at times with the comedic interludes.
3/5
