Reseñas (11)
Más de todo que en el primer Spider-Man. Y el villano es mejor, el aspecto técnico es más sofisticado y el humor omnipresente lo refresca de maravilla. A pesar de una pequeña cantidad de acción y un montón de diálogos, volver al pasado (que ralentiza la trama) fue más satisfactorio para mí que la primera película. El final 110% feliz es un poco un movimiento en falso, pero el torrente de emoción que lo acompaña lo justifica todo.

Much better after a second screening. The things that bothered me before – the pathos taken to the extreme in places and the auntie's curmudgeonly proclamations – simply belong to the Spider-Man franchise, and if you accept Raimi's rules of the game, you'll be satisfied. What I admire most about Raimi's series is the perfect blend of Spider-man's human side – constant doubt, regret, unhappy love and, thanks to Tobey's looks, boyish goofiness – and the comic book superhuman side. Moreover, the unconventional beauty of Kirsten Dunst and the charisma of Tobey Maguire are always impressive. And Dr. Octopus is one hell of a villain, Alfred Molina gave him the necessary evil spark with his maniacal expression. With the passage of a few years, I have to admit that this is one of the most accomplished comic book adaptations.

Decent pop-corn fun, but Spider-Man is still looking helplessly at the backs of the true comic book elite.

In addition to the X-MEN series, I enjoyed Spider-Man 2 the most from what the film mainstream has to offer in terms of comic book remakes. Sam Raimi managed to perfectly balance humorous exaggeration, a tolerably sugary love-story and an action level with a very decent and jagged villain. The film thus offers a very nice cocktail, in which are mixed adrenaline passages (the fight on the train is magnificent), humorous moments and intimate vistas into the soul of the hero, who may not even want to be a hero. It is Peter's oscillation between an introverted student and an intrepid super-human - a constant search for himself - that forms a sympathetic second plan under a bombastic spectacle. The relationship is maintained equilibristically, and Spiderman 2 is an exceptionally balanced and bound spectacle almost to the end, which is sporadically disrupted only by Aunt May's excessive pathetic rants. Unfortunately, the word “almost" in the previous sentence is treacherous. The end of the film awkwardly and purposefully walls up everything it had carefully built brick by brick before, and the spectacle is rolled over by an interesting second plan. In the end, the hero does not have to solve the main dilemma of what to decide, because he can have both love and heroism. Oh, how I hate this hypocrisy. Even so, Raimi's spider man left me with many positive impressions. A great demonstration of the mainstream craft, which has long avoided the pitfalls of the mainstream, but a minute twelve it will get there...

Ambivalence, charm, an ode to comic book battles, and the naivety that only Peter Parker can bring. Some movies just have to be watched over and over again, even though they have a few flaws in them.

Alfred Molina took over the whole film and everyone else agreed to second him. Neighbor Mary Jane went through a visual change and a career crisis. Poor little thing. But her success in The Importance of Being Earnest is perfect.

The second Spider-Man is a class better than the first one. It is darker, with a stronger story, and better music that adds a massive boost to the action scenes. I mean both the rock, nu-metal, and punk (the classic American soundtrack blend) as well as the excellent orchestral score by the always great Danny Elfman (Planet of the Apes, Big Fish), whose compositions are again a pleasure to listen to. The special effects belong to the absolute top of modern cinema. There is some of the traditional pathos and tears, but that belongs to Raimi's Spider-Man, or rather, we have all gotten used to it.

I was once so disappointed by Raimi's first Spider-Man that I decided to ignore the sequel. I found out today that the second part is better. Not by much, but it is. Thankfully, Sam Raimi at least got away from his specific style, which may have angered his loyal fans, but it did Spider-Man some good. Especially the action scenes are great this time, the special effects are more realistic, Dr. Octopus played by Alfredo Molina is a much better villain than Green Goblin, and the humor hasn't been forgotten... So it's not a bad film at all, although I remember almost nothing of it except after a few hours the aforementioned action scenes. It would have been even better with a different actor in the lead role or if Tobey Maguire hadn't taken off his mask at all.

Molina's supervillain is very much the lead here, pulling this sequel above the level of the first instalment in the form of a whiny Willem Dafoe hiding behind an ugly mask. Otherwise, Sam Raimi shows once again that he’s an excellent director with a story that is well put together, mixing humour with action in the best possible way. He also plays his cards right with the always likeable Maguire, the beautiful Kirsten Dunst and the mandatory great visual effects, thanks to which, especially in the spectacular ending, I didn't know where to turn my eyes. A beautiful example of a sequel that surpasses the first part, if only by a little.

A film I looked forward to seeing in the movie theater ten years ago. It definitely didn't disappoint me back then, and I fondly remember this trilogy in general. However, it's true that even though it was a big hit back then, over the past ten years it has somewhat worn out. It’s a classic big blockbuster that will now look best on television. The first installment did leave a bit more of an impression on me, even though I generally like Spider-Man, and Doc Ock looks simply great.

The sequel to the story of Spider-Man surpassed its predecessor in many ways (especially in the technical aspects), equally great part. While I hesitated to give the first one a full rating and still ended up giving it 4 stars that were more like 4.5 stars (we'll see :), I have no problem with the second one. The main role here is played by Sam Raimi, who directed the sequel to his favorite comic book superhero perfectly and didn't allow any major gaffes that would have disturbed the brilliantly filmed story full of action, love, suspense, revenge, the desire for success... Raimi handles the alternating of the storylines with flying colors and I'm really looking forward to the third one, I've never seen the whole thing.) I'm just a bit worried about the reviews of "three" here, but we'll see.) Spider-Man 2 is definitely 5 stars, and a lot of the credit goes to Danny Elfman, as well as the greater space for character psychology.
