Spiderman 2

Some things to consider:

Comic Book reading is unique in that it\'s a visual medium that tells stories with pictures, but as a personal experience, not shared with an audience.

Spiderman is special because at his core he\'s just a guy like you, but powerful. A guy dealing with guilt and powers and balancing a real life with hero life.

Superman is near invincible and an alien and not many are able to empathize, you know?

Sam Rami, the director, gets it, and created a beautiful movie. If he doesn\'t at least get nominated for an oscar I\'ll be pissed.

The movie itself is a brilliant dynamic because while Peter Parker struggles with being good as Spiderman or trying to live his life, we get a villain in Otto Octavious who has a similar struggle but with evil, but has lost what he considered his life.

It\'s a well told story with spectacular visuals and developed characters. A little action, a litle drama, a little love. It\'s a complete movie.

Complete.

I don\'t know if that makes it the best or better or worse than anything. One of the great mistakes we make as a society is using comparison as a judge of quality. What I can tell you is that it\'s a job well done on all fronts.
