We’re nostalgic for Spider-Man 2 for a multitude of reasons: Sam Raimi’s signature camp-infused humor, wild action with a splash of horror, and a poignant emotional core all make the second Spider-film a timeless classic. The vertical fight choreography! The crazy camera angles! The large Italian man on the train!! For a 17 year old film, it sure feels like Raimi set a gold standard for superhero films that has yet to be topped. With the MCU teasing the return of Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock (and potentially more), it’s not a bad idea to break out the pizza for a nostalgic viewing of the film that started it all.
What’s next week’s film?
The Matrix (1999)
