Spiderman 2 (4+ viewings)
Plot : Following closely from the first spiderman's story - Peter Parker is trying to balance out too many things at once : and tries to decide what he wants the most.
Story : Really uses the first spiderman to it's advantage completely. All the characters and events that happened in the first are made very important in this sequel. When inventor Otto Octavious reveals his life's work - a machine that will make tons more energy than it uses , something goes wrong and he is taken over by the A.I in his metal arms. Meanwhile Mary Jane is getting married to newspaper editor Jamison's son , Aunt May has to move out of her house unable to pay the bills , Harry Osbourn's failure with Dr. Octavious makes his vengance on Spiderman incredibly important to him - and Spiderman is trying to balance all these people in his life out and remain spiderman. The story moves pretty fast with lots of emphasis on it's existing characters.
Visuals and Action : Lots of more CGI than the first installment , but still not as much as the third. The action scenes though are mostly crafted CGI crazy battles , that destroy tons of terrain and dish out crazy stunts that would never be possible otherwise. A huge improvement from the first , with much broader settings and cleaner presentation.
Sypnosis : A great second movement in a trilogy , leaving you on the edge for the final installment (which is the best in my opion)
