You can read the professional reviews (here and here, for example), but I just have one thing to say: Wow.
Sam Raimi and his cast have spun a wonderful movie that explores the agonies and the angst of the super-hero/alter-ego split like never before. The latest installment of the likely trio of movies about the Wall Crawler has heart to go along with its action. The effects are incredible but serve the story rather than the other way around. With all the exposition taken care of in the first movie, the characters are fully fleshed out and the chemistry between Tobey McGuire and Kirsten Dunst is better than ever.
If you're a fan of the comic books, you'll absolutely love how true to the characters the movie has remained - including the latest villain, "Doc Ock." You'll also continue to be amazed at how the effects team was able to capture the moves and static poses we all know so well from the comics. If you're new to the stories the characters are more three dimensional than you'd expect from a comic book. But Stan Lee wrote them with more depth than super-heroes, supporting characters and villains ever had.
I highly recommend this movie; as an homage to the Web Slinger it is perfect; as a summer movie it is highly satisfying and, incredibly, as a sequel it's better than the original.
