For the third film of the month we have Spider-Man 2

First off, we have the story which has Peter Parker who faces troubles in his failing personal life as well as facing off against a brilliant scientist named Doctor Otto Octavius. I thought the story was very entertaining and the direction it took from the previous one was great as it fleshed out the characters more to build the chemistry and world.

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were very good in this and have improved since the first film especially Tobey Maguire as Peter/Spider-Man as he struggles at balancing his normal life with being a hero. Then there was Doctor Octavius who was a much stronger villain in this film and proved to be a tough fight for Spider-Man as well as being fleshed out and why he became what he did.

As for the film's visuals I thought had improved since the last one especially through the effects and camera work to add to the action and adventure the film wanted to portray. Now we have the action which I thought was thrilling and excellently choreographed and the one scene where that was most prevalent was the train fight as the camera moved throughout the fight to capture all of it. Moving onto the tone of the film which took a more dramatic turn than more of a humorous way but it still had a sense of adventure with a few jokes in. I thought the soundtrack of the film was very good at having tracks that suited the emotions that were on screen so you could feel for the characters when needed. 

Overall, I thought this film was an excellent improvement than the first film in a lot of ways and it was fun to watch from beginning to end through it's strong story and characters that built it up as well as the thrilling action and good score. 

I give Spider-Man 2 a score of 8/10
