Review of Spider-Man 2 (2004) by Stcenterprise . — 18 May 2016

Somehow I like Spider-Man 2 much better than the rest of the other Sam Raimi Spider-Man films. Usually sequels tend to be not as great as the first film but this film brakes that rule in a film franchise. It made Spider-Man seem much more human than the other films.

The film score once again by Danny Elfman is to me considered the best of all the Spider-Man films. It is a twist to the already established theme but adds a little more action to it. I enjoyed the Doctor Auto Octavious theme too that just suggest his movements with the claws. Love Danny Elfman's music in this film.

The stories great. It has Peter face real struggles that are easy to relate to such as relationships The villain was for one more human than the others in the films. I mean Alfred Molina was great; he played in Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark. His charter was not crazy but an accident.

Peter didn't seem like he was some hot shot.

The Graphics are Great & the Comedy is Great & best out of them all.

I loved the Rain drops keep falling on my forehead sequence. It was so well done.

I also enjoyed seeing Peter delivering Pizza as Spider-Man at the beginning of this film. I wish that we got to see more of that in the film.

I liked the continuation to the role and the portrayal by J.K. Simons; as Head of the Daily Bugle, John Jonah Jameson. It was spot on, mean, selfish, hilarious, but yet likable as a character in how he would get things wrong. He continues to have great lines in this film. I liked the scene where he tries to give the name to Doctor Auto Octavious. We even get to here that Doctor Strange mentioned as they try to find a name to Doctor Octopus. It is a line we can appreciate more as the New Doctor Strange film is soon to arrive. I loved his line in this film concerning caviar at the wedding. I also enjoyed the fact that more of his story and family was developed further in this film. We also find out how much or how little he really knows about people like the mayor of New York.

I enjoyed the part where Peter Parker tries to see if his abilities have come back so he tries jumping between building and fails. "I'm Back! I'm Back!" falls on cars "My Back My Back." and the cherry on top the car alarm going off when he touches a car.

I also enjoyed the elevator scene. Nice Spidey costume. and him giving way too much information you just don't want to know about the costume.

I loved the lines by Peter Parker's landlord Mr. Ditkovich. "Rent!" "I have ears like a cat! And eyes like a rodent.".

I found this film interesting in how they could have a super hero film with so little of Spider-Man in the film but it is still able to work. This film gives much more focus to Peter Parker than Spider-Man. And when the costume does come on you are just in joy and it gets you excited again.

I liked that Auto Octavious was developed a relationship with Peter Parker and they were able to develop his humanity before turning him into the protagonist. This film helped the audience get you invested into his character to better understand his loss when he changes.

I liked how this film gave a first look to his College life that was not seen before just talked about in this film. We even get to see Doctor Connors introduced in this film.

I enjoyed the mayor action scenes of this film such as the car chase against the police, The bank robbery, and even the train fight. I loved how we got to see much more of Spider-Mans action abilities improve compared to the previous film.

I liked the way this film was able to get back Uncle Ben and Norman Osborn into this film even if it was short. Even if it was short their roles in this film were key importance to move the story forward.

I also enjoyed the final sequence at the end with Spider-Man Swinging through the city alongside the fire rescue helicopters much more than the end sequence to the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man film.
