FILM REVIEW
his sequel is almost as good as its predecessor, and for me one of the
better sequels out there. If there is one thing that I do prefer over
the original, despite the rather slow start, I do think this film has
the stronger storyline. The script is in general very good too, but the
only other real problem I have with this film is its length. Despite the
flaws, it is a pretty darn good action sequel. Two things made this
movie as wonderful as it was. One was that it was terrific visually and
technically, with splendid special effects and jaw-dropping stunts. The
final action sequence between Spiderman and Dr Octopus was in particular
brilliantly staged. The cinematography is focused and makes the film
even more a wonder to look at. The other was the villain Dr Octopus,
superbly played by Alfred Molina. Dr Octopus is made into a rather
complex villain, after the death of his wife Rosalie, and becomes a
villain after being part of his own invention. The music was also
dramatic and fun. The remainder of the performances were very good too,
while not admittedly the most charismatic actors ever, (Sean Connery is
definitely a contender for that) Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst still
give believable lead performances. All in all, a very good sequel. 8/10
