Seeing as how Spider-Man became a huge success, Sam Raimi decided to make a sequel in order to capture the spirit that made the first film a huge critical hit and two years later, in 2004, he succeeded, but not only that. This film takes everything from the first spider-man and transfered and transforms itself into a far more superior follow-up! While the first spider-man wasn't a masterpiece due to it's clunky editing and corny dialog, this film has absolutely no flaws at all.

The story is much more compelling than the first, the visuals are fantastically made, the pacing is wonderfully brisk, the special effects are top-notch, and the music score from Danny Elfman is as better as ever with some atmospheric moments throughout this follow-up. The strongest aspects goes to the much stronger acting (Tobey Macguire and Kirsten Dunst gave their solid performances and are as likable as ever. Alfred Molina is a great villain and lives up to the Green Goblin from the first and the other actors did well especially James Franco.) and the groundbreaking action especially the fight scenes with Spiderman and Doctor Octopus.

Overall, a far more superior film that is always worth-watching. Thumbs up!
