I don’t want
to review this one… But it’s Spider-man month
And it’s
time to dig into Spider-man 2, considered by many the best Spider-man film out
there (I have no idea what people are on when they watch this film and think
that but I’d like some right now!)
OK, a little
detail. Just because I’m reviewing this one as a rage review, does not mean I
believe it to be the worst. Going into this, I don’t even remember Spider-man
3, agreed by most of the Raimi fanbase to be the worst of the 3 (I have now
watched it and yes, it’s terrible, shockingly, see my review of that later this week). I chose to review this one as
a rage review, mostly because this happens to be the only one I’d watched prior
to the Spider-man month announcement. I’d do rage reviews for all of them but I
lack the time, so you’ll have to make do with this one. Besides, when you hear
that a film is the greatest but it still turns out to be terrible, yeah, that inspires some
rage.
So after the
success of the original Spider-man film, Spider-man 2 was announced with the
original cast returning, and Sam Raimi continuing to direct. It wasn’t quite as
big a success at the box office, not breaking the $800million mark this time.
So, is it better than Spider-man 1? Of course it f*cking isn’t, let’s take a
look.
