Review of Spider-Man 2 (2004) by Bullymaguire — 02 Dec 2021

Spiderman 2 is not only better than the first but it succeeds expectations from its time and holds up very well. Spiderman 2 is still easily a masterpiece and is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best superhero movies ever made right up there with TDK and Infinity War.

The action is a major improvement as the train scene is still not only the best action scene in any Spiderman movie but is one of the greatest action scenes in any comic-book movie. The acting again from everyone is solid.

Doctor Octopus was a fantastic villain that taught many themes and lessons that can be used in the real world and the way he sacrificed himself to save the world was very well done. Again just like the first, the directing is very good and the music is perfect for conveying emotion.

Finally Spiderman 2 features one of the greatest stories in any comic-book movie as the Spiderman No more arc in my opinion is the best part of the film. It really fleshed out Peter Parker and makes him a very likable and relatable protagonist.

I do have one problem with this movie and it is that MJ can be a very unlikeable character at times but overall I didn't think she was that bad. Anyways very good movie and it for sure deserves a 10/10.
