I just saw Spider-Man 2 over the week-end and thought it was a brilliant sequel to the first film. The balance between character development and action sequences was good. The Doctor Octopus character is very interesting and much deeper than I was expecting.

In terms of the main character, I thought that his attemps to have a “normal” life with his duties was a good story to follow. Many people have been telling me that they would have expected to see more of the conflict between Harry and Peter. However, in my opinion, having that conflict fully played out in this movie would have made it too heavy.
