Spider-Man, Better than Ever?

Spiderman is back for his 2nd ride, leaving off from the last film, Harry is eager to get revenge on Spider-Man, Mary Jane is engaged, and Peter Parker would just like to settle down and have a normal life, and the saying "with great power, comes great responsibility" plays the key role in the movies story.

I am a huge fan of spiderman, and coming back from the 12:01 preview i am very pleased on what i saw. I just cant sleep because this movie was outstanding. And just to think that Jake Gyllenhal was about to play spiderman, that would ruin the franchise, because the chemistry between Tobey and Kristen is just so good and they act their characters great together. This is definetly the movie people will be talking about for months to come, so dont miss out. (The Soundtrack is very good aswell).

The sequal is filled with Phenominal Special effects, the introduction of a new character Doc Ock, more choices, and Spiderman is beginning to realize the consequences of the choices he is making. The acting, fair, you should expect the same of what you got out of the first movie, but as for Visuals and Story, Spiderman 2 really stands out with a unique story and ending, and non stop web-slinging action. There may only be only 1 thing i am quite skeptical about, and that would be the feel and presentation. From the first spiderman, every place, every scene has a relativity to one of the charaters. The houses, had that comic "surreal" feel which litteraly put you in the book, but dont get me wrong, this movie does that aswell, but i just feel it could have been better.

This is a movie you cant miss, it is going to set a new Record for both Wensday Box Office opening, and First weekend opening, It will be huge! After watching some dissapointments this summer, such as Day After tomorrow, Troy, and Garfeild, I am pleased to walk in an enjoyable movie and have a positive word about it.
Does it beat the original, well thats for you to decide, with there being more Special effects and action for me, Spider-Man 2 is Number #1 in my books.
