With rumours and updates flying around concerning Spider-Man joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I thought I would give my thoughts on what is largely considered to be the best Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man 2.
Spider-Man 2 is my favourite superhero movie (Possibly favourite movie.) because the characters are well written and well realised, the writing is fantastic, the brilliant direction AND it's hugely entertaining! With most of the supposedly "greatest movies of all time" like The Dark Knight is that, while they have great writing and directing, they get boring after I've watched them enough times, don't get me wrong, I love movies like The Dark Knight, (Just not The Dark Knight because it's more crime drama than Batman.) but after I've watched them 5-6 times, they're boring as fuck cause I know them inside and out. But with movies like Spider-Man 2 and Batman, (1989) you notice new things every time you watch it like references to the source material or stuff like that. After all, I've been watching this movie and its predecessor for as long as I can remember. (As well as the '89 Batman movie.)
Tobey Maguire gives a great performance as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, the problems he faces in this film, when he decides to have a life of his own is very relatable and understandable. But J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson though is absolutely hilarious and whenever he's on screen I can't help but burst out laughing. Alfred Molina as Doc Ock is one of the best villains in a superhero movie. His motivation and goals are completely understandable. The only character I have a problem with is MJ (Big shock.) because she is a whiney bitch and I just wanna punch her every time she's on screen. There is a scene where Peter offers to get some Chinese food followed up by MJ whining about her upcoming marrage to what was his name again? Aside from that, this movie is a fantastic movie and definitely deserves a 10/10.
