Even after fifteen years of an insane output in the genre of superhero films, "Spider-Man 2" stands solidly as the cream of the cream, with only a small handful of later films comparing favourably. It is in my mind sometimes a little blemished by the mediocre and confused third installment, but that just makes every rewatch another stunning reminder of just how good "Spider-Man 2" really is. My sole complaint of any note is that (as with the other Raimi Spider-Man films), Spider-Man never makes a single quip. The constant banter when in-costume is one of the more memorable and fun aspects of the character, and its absence is a definite loss. Still, thanks to the perfection that is J. K. Simmons' J. J. J. portrayal, the film is hardly lacking for humour. Warmly recommended to any fans of the genre. This extended cut doesn't really make a huge difference to the casual viewer, but it contains a lot of little extras and longer scenes for fans like myself. And is probably worth it to anyone for seeing J. J. J. hop around his office...… (mehr)

It doesn't have the pathos of the first two films, since the fight with the mummy seems much less personal to the protagonists this time around. The jokes are also not given the same room to breathe which, while they're not technically much more cheesy than in the previous installments, makes them feel rather more forced and dumb. Finally, recasting the female protagonist is unfortunate, as her every moment on screen feels like a reminder you're watching a spin-off product (through no fault of the replacement actor). All that said, it's got decent entertainment value, and if you're looking for a light action adventure without much substance, it's not the worst way to spend 100 minutes.… (mehr)
