While the writing suffers from the same problems as the previous movie, the overall presentation definitely improved here. It finally starts to show that Raimi is directing, and the impact of the action scenes got immensely bigger, with higher stakes and more great special effects for its time. The plot is pretty much the exact same: we have a brilliant scientist and father figure that gets controlled by his own creation and starts messing around, coincidentally involving everyone Peter loves. Same hokey dialogues, same teenage drama, same subpar acting. Still, a fun superhero flick to watch nevertheless, especially in the second half.
