Given the amount of time Raimi spends dealing with this, rather than Spidey’s mask-on antics, he does run the risk of losing our attention. Like its predecessor, it offers a strong story rather than a feeble excuse to connect set-pieces, now focussing on Peter Parker’s (Maguire) struggle to balance his identities – the great responsibility versus all those smaller ones required to get by in everyday life – and suppress his not-so-unrequited love for Mary-Jane (Dunst). Thankfully, Spider-Man 2 does undoubtedly pounce out of the top drawer as this summer’s most satisfying, spectacle-packed movie. Sam Raimi’s back at the helm with a promise to keep the first movie’s balance of heart and high-flying action, while the original cast’s return signals the fact that this is very much a character-powered “part two” continuation, rather than a shallow, Batmanish excuse for some fresh, ham-scented villains to flounce about. “With great power,” goes the Spider-Man credo, “comes great responsibility.” Well, for the primary-coloured webslinger’s second multiplex swing shift, it’s not “great responsibility” he’s had to contend with so much as great expectation of all this year’s blockbuster wannabes, Spider-Man 2 has long been considered the shoo-in for Best Of Summer 2004.
