Spider-Man 2

Welcome to my first movie review. What a movie to start with! Spider-man 2 was awesome! Better than the first? Yep. How? The story, the acting, the action, the effects, the bad guy, everything!
This is what I’ve wanted since I was a kid! Great Spider-man movies!!!!
I mean, I was all excited when I heard about the Spider-Man TV show, in ’77. Then I saw it. Wow. It was crap-tastic. But it was all we had.
OK, back to Spider-man 2…
To some extent, we have the same characters dealing with the same issues, but not in a bad way. This time we get more. In the first Spider-man, we got to peek at the emotion in each relationship. Here we get to really focus. That’s what surprised me: this was a VERY emotional story. I expected bigger effects and action, but we got a touching story with bigger effects and action.
Toby Maguire was terrific AGAIN as Peter Parker. Poor Peter, he gets no respect. He’s just a regular guy trying to protect NYC. That’s what’s so great about Spider-man: he’s approachable. People talk smack to him. Dogs bark at him. He gets fired from jobs.
Sam Raimi raised the proverbial bar for the superhero movies. He brought a lot of the quiet moments out nicely.
If I still had my Spider-man Underoos, I’d wear them proudly. Of course, the bottoms wouldn’t fit past my feet and the shirt would be a tight tube top. You see, I wear a 13 ½ shoe and I’m a bit wide in the mid-section. I have a chubby gut. It’s the soda pop and the burritos. A lot of it.
