Why does everyone go crazy about Spiderman 2?

Spiderman 2: Starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spiderman, Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson and Alfred Molina as Dr. Octopus. Showing in Manila Theaters on July 1
Tomorrow, Manila residents are to experience another cinematic event of the year, after Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban, the stimulating, exciting and gluey world of Spiderman sequel. Still starring, of course, are Tobey Maguire as the weak-looking Peter Parker and alter-ego Spiderman, Kirsten Dunsts as Mary Jane Watson, James Franco as Harry Osbourne, the new villain, Alfred Molino as the Dr. Otto Octavius, and many other characters that made Peter's life either full of happiness or misery. Directed by Sam Raimi, the sequel to the 2002 blockbuster hit, the film has new complex scenes and characters that will surely break first-day gross income come its showing in Manila Theaters. Good thing though I have friends in Manila whom I requested to send me at least pirated dvd copies of the film. Yeah, after watching it first here, I'll have reasons to brag my friends about it and make them begrudge to death. Hehehe...evil.

So why does everyone go crazy about Spiderman 2 or the Spiderman series? Well, plot has something to do with the vogue of course. The storyline fetch readers or viewers in a world that is far imaginable from ours. The characters gives the series and the cast that plays in the film spells a certain kind of attraction to the viewers.

I better watch the film myself so that I can give a more dynamic explanation of the movie...
