“Cinema Seekers’ 1 hour 29 minute guarantee is a promise, man!” Whoops, sorry we can't seem to keep that promise, fellow listeners. But for this trilogy? It’s worth it.
Well, it seems we have never collectively liked a movie quite as much as we did this one. It’s clear that Sam Raimi is truly not afraid to make bold choices in his direction. And do they pay off? Oh, boy, yeah. The operatic score, the relatable characters, the masterful storytelling, the nostalgic cinematography, the above-and-beyond filmmaking - all ingredients of a true classic. How could any successive Spider-Man film ever exceed the extremely high bar set by Spider-Man 2?
Thank you sincerely for pressing play. Please let us know what you think of this movie. Did it affect your childhood as much as it did ours?
