Spider-Man 2

Pros: Excellent action, great cinematography, and soundtrack.
Cons: I did not like Spidey's mask coming off.

It is imperative for readers to know that I am a huge Marvel comic's fan and collected comic books as a child, treasuring Marvel's Spider-Man like my favorite pocket knife. Those that grew up in the Midwest or perhaps boys that joined the Boy Scouts ...

Pros: Maguire, Dunst, Franco, Molina, fight scenes
Cons: Molina not as sinister as Defoe

Two weekends ago, I finally had some time to myself, and my good movie-watching friend also had some time to herself…so we headed to the theater to catch Spiderman in action. Not being a huge fan of sequels, I was a little curious about how ...

Pros: Cast, story, effects, Doc Ock. Everything really.
Cons: Rude people in the theater.

I really enjoyed S pider-Man and I’ve been looking forward to seeing Spider-Man 2 for a long time now. The first preview I saw for it was very short and didn’t show a lot, but it made me want to ...

Pros: Script. Maguire. Molina.
Cons: Not really. Touch of editing maybe.

Life is all about choices. But, there’s a catch. Though it may sound good, you don’t actually get to choose who you are. You are who you believe you are. And, you don’t get to choose who you believe you are either. And, some choices aren’t yours ...

Pros: Molina and Dunst. Awesome fights. Touching New York moments.
Cons: Peter's got it way too rough.

I suppose it is inevitable that Spider-Man II couldn't possibly match with the hype established by its $400 million counterpart. Not to say that II is a complete bore -- it's a frolicking good time for fans when it wants to be. Elsewhere, ...

Pros: All of it...
Cons: ... except the last 15 minutes...

Finally, another film I don’t feel I wasted my time going to the cinema to watch!!! :-D Spiderman was a good film, though I felt it was rather more violent than it needed to be. It focused rather more on the introspective battle the hero ...

Pros: Kirsten Dunst, action scenes, Parker finally got er' done
Cons: some of the lines in the "do you love me" scenes were kind of cheesy

After the cliffhanger of an ending that the first Spider-Man had, I was ready to bust a fit and throw a cap at someone’s face. It’s Mary Jane Watson, AKA Kirsten Dunst! I’m probably in the minority of guys who think that Kirsten Dunst is ...

Pros: Special effects are better here, more suspenseful and better character development
Cons: A li'l bit on the violent side

I have planned to watch the second installment of Spider-Man on its first showing day; however, the long queue at the cinemas changed my mind. I am not a person of much patience so I decided to watch it when all people must have watched it already (that ...

Pros: More assured effects and direction and performances... Nice moments of humor...
Cons: Redundant theme and they still haven't figured out how to work the bad guys in...

Was it Aesop who once taught us that with great power comes great responsibility? Nah. Perhaps it was a green muppet down in Dagobah. That sounds like something Yoda might say. I guess not. Was it my fortune cookie at Lucky Panda last week? Seems ...

Pros: The return of all main characters, strong-story, great action sequences
Cons: The only con is the 2 years we have to wait for the next one.

The first Spiderman film from this franchise came back in 2002, and starred Tobey Maguire as a student who gets bit by an experimental spider. This transforms him into a human that has all of the advantages of being a spider; which includes being able ...

Pros: Good writing, stellar acting, can hardly tell it CGI.
Cons: The unveiling…

As a child no other superhero captured my imagination quite like the reluctant, everyday guy, superhero Spider-Man. When he was not fighting the local baddies, he was just like everyone else, struggling to balance relationships, school, and work; ...

Pros: Tobey Maguire, Villain, Effects, Story Arc...
Cons: Kirsten Dunst...but even she's better this time around.

Even my wife liked this one. She’s about four weeks away from having our second son, and it takes a lot to get her to go see a movie these days. Especially a superhero or sci-fi movie. Couple her uncomfortability with my work schedule which means ...

Pros: Doc Ock is an incredible villain
Cons: I still don't like the organic webshooters

It’s a scary situation, when facing possible death, that one’s life, or the lives of many, are put into the hands of one man who can prevent such a disaster. That’s a lot of trust to be giving out to some stranger to make things right. But ...

Pros: Great action, effects, marvelous villain.
Cons: None come to mind.

It’s no secret that the original Sp ider-Man film is likely one of the best superhero films ever made. That being the case, a sequel was inevitable. And as usually is the case, fans expected it would be a great ...

Pros: Classy script, great cast and awesome directing from Sam Raimi, operatic Elfman score.
Cons: Cons? None. Movie is great, DVD is excellent.

Halfway through Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), his morale lowered by his chaotic personal life and seemingly losing his spider-like superpowers, tosses his red-and-blue tights into a New York City trash receptacle and swears, "I'm ...
