    “Spiderman 2″ Plot Summary

    Peter Parker is beset with troubles in his failing personal life as he battles a brilliant scientist named Doctor Otto Octavius, who becomes Doctor Octopus (aka Doc Ock), after an accident causes him to bond psychically with mechanical tentacles that do his bidding. add synopsis

    Better than the first!

    I for one was not totally blown away by the first Spider-Man film. Yes, it is a good comic to film, but somehow I just didn’t get caught up in all the hoopla. That was changed with Spider-Man 2. This film took the successful elements from the first (character and acting) and pushed it up another notch

    We were given again only 1 new villain, this saved much needed time to flesh out Peter Parker/Spider-Man as well as further the other story lines going on with those surrounding Peter. The struggle that Peter goes through; should he or shouldn’t he sacrifice his life for others, is handled beautifully here. You feel that struggle. He may be a ’superhero’, but he is still just a kid trying to sort out his life. A life that seems to sucker punch him every single day. I thought this was the most logical step to take the franchise after the introduction in the first. The special effects this time were much improved over the first. Many times I was taken out of the moment in the first film because the effects looked to much like effects and were not natural. That is still a problem from time to time here again, but by in large a much better outing

    Story, performances, effects, all were improved in the 2nd installment, something we just don’t see happen a lot. One of the best comic to film productions ever in my opinion.

    “Spider-Man 3″ Movie Review

    “Spider-Man 3″ Plot Summary

    A strange black entity from another world bonds with Peter Parker and causes inner turmoil as he contends with new villains, temptations, and revenge.

    Better Then I Ever Imagined

    Sam Raimi once again directs this visual, emotional, and stunning sequel

    This movie picks up pretty much where Spider-man 2 had left off from. The first 20 minutes of the movie really rush through everyones story including Sandman and the arrival of Venom. Spider-man is now a huge star in New York in this movie, loved by everyone, while Mary Jane in the beginning is loving her career as an actress on stage. Harry Osborn is an angry and bitter human being driven to kill Peter Parker because he now knows that he is Spider-man and in his eyes, the man who killed his father

    As the story goes on we learn that the sandman is really a man named Flint Marko (Thomas Haden Church) who is a man who just broke out of jail, he is also a man who is trying to heal his sick daughter. Venom is a man named Eddie Brock, who is trying to steal the job that Peter currently has and hates Peter. Harry early on in the movie loses his some of his memory in a fight against Peter

    While the movie does rush through these stories in the beginning, it does it smoothly and makes each scene look its best. The Sandman was done so beautifully in this movie and the emotion of the character really doesn’t make him feel like a villain. Venom however, is complete evil and that really is the main focus of the movie for the most part. When the black suit takes over Peter, it is actually pretty funny because we see Peter acting cool and bad, pointing at all the girls that pass and Maguire plays it so well, dancing in the streets, those scenes are just so golden

    Topher Grace really proved he could play this character, there were some doubts because he is not a muscular guy like the character in the comics was but he does it wonderfully, the comedy he’s given is weak but that really doesn’t matter. The Venom character when it takes over Brock is not really what the comics has, its really more like the cartoon from the 1990’s but it works really well and fits the tone of the film. Sandman just looks plain awesome in this picture, they really made him look like what he did in the comics, with a few updates

    The comedy in this film is just plain great, characters like Jameson will have you in tears because you will be laughing so hard. Jameson’s first scene is absolutely wonderful

    The action is great, and the thing about the action in this movie is that it is not overdone, this movie does not have too many action scenes, they really do focus on the story more then the action, which was really great

    There is also a lot of drama, this is one of few movies, mainly comic book movies, that almost brought me to tears because the acting is so good, if someone doesn’t get an Oscar, i’ll be angry, lol. The story actually brings the truth on how Ben Parker dies, which was so well done. Mary Jane and Peter Parker’s relationship goes through so many turns (and a very unexpected moment happens in a jazz club were M.J. works when Peter is fighting guards in the club). The story with Harry and Peter, The Sandman’s story, Aunt May also has some emotional moments in this. It is all so wonderfully acted that you will feel like crying

    Overall, a 10 out of 10, i loved this film, and i wouldn’t mind seeing this several more times in theaters.
