![]() Part of this is down to the increased intensity of the fights due to the close combat nature of the character but it is hard not to be impressed by the impact of the vastly improved effects. In terms of action, the several big action sequences are very enjoyable and put the skirmishes from the first movie very much in the shade. Plenty of it is very funny, some of it is touching, some of it is about character and some of it, well, some of it is about cars being thrown through windows! And of course the latter is what we have come for. The script also throws in a real mix of emotions perfect for a film that is more about being an exciting ride than a piece of art. You could read meaning into most of it but it is hard to not see the New York people on the train carrying the prone body of Spiderman backwards as having a bigger significance a surprisingly poignant movie after a big effects-driven scene. With these complex people as the fronts it is any wonder that the script has no problem being surprisingly strong for a summer action movie. Where Dafoe was great as the Goblin, the silly costume hindered the actor, here Molina has no such obstacle and does very well carrying off the 'voices' scene without it looking silly it is only a shame that he has so little screen time as a person (he has little time anyway but the vast majority of it is throwing cars around). The villain of the piece is similar to the Green Goblin of the first film in that he is a scientist driven to madness by 'voices' who we want to lose as well as feeling for more tragic than evil. Even the potentially ponderous thread with Mary-Jane plays pretty well for the most part. The complexity of the hero is the main thing he is an unwilling hero and the strain shows well on him. The plot is more than able to fill the running time and, although the action scenes often have large gaps between them, there are no moments where I was bored even if there are a few moments where the film slightly slows. Two hours later I emerged having enjoyed one of the most entertaining popcorn films I'll probably see all year. With many blockbusters falling at the opening weekend this summer, the title of 'summer's best' was still up for grabs when I arrived at the cinema to watch Spiderman 2 (having only the week earlier given it the miss in favour of lighter fare). With him seemingly intent on destruction, Parker must decide if the needs of others outweigh his own. Wife the protective device on his computerised arms broken, Dr Octavius loses his grip on sanity and starts to rebuild his reactor using money and materials from crime. Meanwhile, A brilliant scientist, Dr Octavius sees his life's work on a fusion reactor explode killing his wife. Parker decides enough is enough and throws it all in after all, he is only one man. On top of this the double life is taking its strain on his job, his personal life and his ability to even cast webs. ![]() ![]() ![]() Molina is repped by the UK’s Lou Coulson Associates and Anonymous Content Sterling by LB Talent Agency and Vault Entertainment and Katt by HKM.Two years on from defeating the Green Goblin, Peter Parker is having a harder time meeting the ongoing expectations of the public.
