Spider-Man 2

This just stuck with me so much more than my previous watches . I think one of the reasons is that this was theatrical, and not the 2.1 I watched at the cinema,I don’t really know how much difference there is, but this time Raimis vision just became so clear. I love how he’s able to inject so much comedy and life into the movie and to New York as a whole it’s so alive. His descent into not wanting to be Spider-Man is so much better done and earned than I remember and seeing him preserve and that reward you get as a viewer to see him put the mask back on no matter how much shit he’s been through is just brilliant. I used to complain about the corny dialogue but now I really enjoy it, it’s tongue and cheek but its comic booky and when it needs to say something it does, particularly Aunt Mays speech which I just love, it’s so good. Raimis passion for this character and for heroes as a whole just fucking shines. This movies brilliant and one of the best comic book movies of all time. I was wrong, and I’m very glad. <i>9/10</i>
