Great Movie and definitely much better than the first! Spidey's up against everybody in this one, his best friend Harry Osborne, the love of his life in MJ, guilt for feeling responsible about Uncle Ben and having to face Aunt May, up against Doc Oc and up against his biggest enemy, himself, the battle within!
The action sequences were great, the violence was excessive (A Big Plus) but not over the top and even lampoonish (referencing the operating room scene as it cracked me up) when it was over the top. This one was very well done and even had its charming subtle moments (neighbor with crush) and funny moments (elevator scene) but the best part of the cinematic journey was the transformation of Peter from the passive, nerdy, reluctant, roped in hero to a take charge assertive in control hero. The movie made me really feel for him as everyone treated him like dirt, walked all over him (most relevant when Harry bitch slaps him at the Gala) and he just took it! To the I'm not going to take this sh@t any more open up a can, stand up for myself, do the right thing but still, be a good person on my terms attitude!
In short, I liked the movie, well worth my $7,,,
