So good is the answer. I found the first outing a tad slow and failing to really capture the unique essence of 'spiderman' as experienced by those of us who read the original marvel story lines. But Spiderman 2 is another matter somehow Rami has done it. He's captured on film trails and tribulations of Peter Parker magnificently. Tobey Maguire might not have been my might first choice for this role but twinned with the female lead..name escapes me...together they are absolutely electric. This time round, it mattered if Parker failed or didn't get the girl...I really wanted Parker to succeed..(I always did you understand)...but I believed in it and that's what really matters in a film like this. I saw the movie with my son and one of his mates...at one point the friend (he's 8)got freaked out by Dr Oct.. I just told him to look away. There was no way in hell I was going to leave that cinema. That's how good.
