| Poor Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire)! As if being an unappreciated
superhero in New York isn't enough, he's too skint to pay his rent, his
life long sweetheart MJ (Kirsten Dunst) is betrothed to a national
hero, Aunt May's (Rosemary Harris) house is about...more |

| In "Spider-Man" we got the introduction, and now we get the story -- a
darker, deeper, more poignant tale that defies the boundaries of comic
book movies and dares to venture into the territory of motion picture
excellence. more |

| I've been procrastinating for nearly 2 weeks now. That much time has passed
since I saw 'Spider-Man 2', yet the review is just coming together now. And
that was after an agoraphobic bout of not seeing it until a week into its
mega-bucks release. Am I...more |

| In the first Spider-Man, Peter Parker's uncle spoke the words made famous in
the comics: "With great power comes great responsibility." In the first
film, Parker learned this, often the hard way, leading up to the touching
finalé, in which he gave up...more |

| A sequel that is better than the original is quite unusual in the world of
motion pictures. Sure, there is the occasional bad movie whose sequel manages
to be decent, with THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS and its sequel 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS
being recent such...more |

| Spider-Man can do whatever a spider can. Spider-Man 2 can do
everything needed to make a great movie. The acting, directing, and
cinematography were superb. The storyline, plot, and dialogue were
excellent. The CGI, sound, and songs composed by Danny...more |

| Fired from his day job as a pizza delivery boy and in danger of losing
his staff photographer gig at the "Daily Bugle" (for snapping touchy-feely vs.
hard hitting front page photos), Peter could sure use a break. But he's also
getting failing...more |

| "Spider-Man 2" is as close to the spirit of the comic-books than the original.
It has all the trials and tribulations that Peter Parker endured while being
the crime-fighting, wall-crawling hero, Spider-Man. Let's face it: working two
part-time jobs,...more |

| Critics almost unanimously praised Harry Potter and the Prisoner of
Azkaban. I thought it to be one of the worst movies I have seen this
year (which isn't saying much), fraught with poor acting, horrible
pacing, and computer-generated effects that...more |

| Yes, it's all true. The sequel is better than the original. Now, I
was actually, long term, pretty neutral about the original (my rating
was Matinee) - every update benefit and groovy explanation of his
spidey powers was negated by silly masked...more |

| It's tough being a web-crawling superhero. Other
superheroes have it easier. Batman can fund all
of his Bat-Toys with the millions of dollars that
his alter ego produces as the head of Wayne
Enterprises. Meanwhile, Superman never needs any
sleep, so...more |
