Storyline
Peter Parker is an unhappy man: after two years of fighting crime as Spider-Man, his life has begun to fall apart. The girl he loves is engaged to someone else, his grades are slipping, he cannot keep any of his jobs, and on top of it, the newspaper Daily Bugle is attacking him viciously, claiming that Spider-Man is a criminal. He reaches the breaking point and gives up the crime fighter's life, once and for all. But after a failed fusion experiment, eccentric and obsessive scientist Dr. Otto Octavius is transformed into super villain Doctor Octopus, Doc Ock for short, having four long tentacles as extra hands. Peter guesses it might just be time for Spider-Man to return, but would he act upon it?Spider-Man 2 User Reviews
It's hard not to love
this movie unless you have absolutely no ability of knowing good
entertainment when you see it. Tobey Maguire is great as Peter Parker,
Kirsten Dunst lovely as MJ, Alfred Molina an outstanding classic
machined villain as Dr. Octavious turned DocOck. Every member of the
cast is superb in their big or small roles, Sam Raimi the director seems
very sure of the script and his directing and makes every scene worth
watching. Add to that a good story, fabulous, marvelous special effects
and visual sequences, an outstanding, fully suitable score, sound
effects beyond your wildest dreams, a red-blue spidey Spandex outfit, a
chubby guy in a brown coat with four mecha-arms...well how can you not
like it??? So, either you are a fan of the comics, like superhero
movies, or not, you really have to enjoy this movie. DO NOT MISS IT!
