Things that could have been better:

•The way John Jameson’s character was used in the movie. Nothing against the actor who played him or anything, it’s just that John Jameson has such a rich history in the comics. To use him simply as Mary Jane’s newest beau felt a bit superfluous in my opinion. 

•The Death of Doctor Octopus. Do villains always have to die? I mean it seems to me if you keep killing of the villains in superhero pictures; you are also killing off the chance to use them again in some form. I know it’s a bit ambitious, but imagine if they ever did want to make a Sinister Six film. You can’t do it if all the villains keep dying.

Spider-Man 2 succeeds where so many sequels fail.  This movie is arguably one of the best sequels as well one of the best superhero-films to date.  

I give Spider-Man 2 a 5 out of 5 stars.
