Description
Sam Raimi's follow-up to SPIDER-MAN finds Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) struggling to balance his everyday life with his alter ego as the web-slinging superhero. Still carrying the burden of keeping his crime-fighting identity from those closest to him--including his longtime love Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), his best friend Harry Osborn (James Franco), and his doting Aunt May (Rosemary Harris)--Parker must also face off against a dangerous new menace, Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), a scientist driven mad by experiments involving powerful mechanical arms. When the deranged Octavius (AKA Doc Ock) forms an alliance with the vengeful Osborn, who blames Spider-Man for the death of his father, the wall-crawling hero is in for his biggest battle yet.With SPIDER-MAN 2, Raimi retains--and improves on--all of the elements that made the first film so good, including an excellent story (crafted, in part, by acclaimed novelist Michael Chabon), tight pacing, and stunning special effects. Parker's internal conflicts are even greater than before, and Maguire adds emotional depth to every scene. Returning actors Dunst, Franco, Harris, and J.K. Simmons (once again portraying Parker's tough-talking boss, J. Jonah Jameson) are all pitch-perfect in their roles, and, as the once-noble Octavius, Molina is remarkable, relishing his villainous lines, while giving the character a surprisingly vulnerable side. Throughout the movie, Raimi expertly balances drama and humor with dynamic action sequences, making SPIDER-MAN 2 feel more like a continuation of the original tale rather than an obligatory sequel. For a Hollywood movie, that's a real feat.

Way better than the first one, but still does not deserve a 5 star rating. One of my favorite aspects about Spiderman 2 is all the drama, and I mean there was so much drama in this movie that I was almost beginning to wonder why anyone would consider it an action, comic book type movie. But the action finally hit the screen and it was extremely awesome. Tobey McGuire is perfect as the push-over...
The best comic book movie ever. The story and characters were WAY better than the first film. The villan (Doc Ock) was cooler and more better-looking compared to the villan in the first movie. I HIGHLY reccommend this film wether you're a Spider-Man fan or not.
With that ending you're pretty much promised a sequel. I mean with Harry's current situation and the introduction of Dr.Conners (The Lizard) you can almost see the next villian terrorizing the town.
Just as exciting and entertaining as the first film. "Spider-Man 2" definitely lived up to the first film, and in many ways surpassed it (especially in mixing drama and comedy). The Spider-Man films do not seem to be going downhill in quality like so many previous superhero sagas have. Let's hope that the upcoming addition to the series keeps it that way.
Loved Spiderman 2! Saw it in imax with my dad, and I loved it. Spidey is awesome, and he finally got his girl. A good lesson to be learned, and a happy ending.
I really enjoyed this film, but I liked the original better.
I'm not going to lie, I'm a nit-picker when it comes to films and the beginning of "Spider-Man 2" was extremely slow in paces, then I understood the screen writers objective as they were trying to establish the conflict of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. To take a well known story and characters from a comic book by adapting it to the big screen is not easy, take a look at the first "X-Men", "Catwoman"...
(Warning: Contains spoilers) Very fun movie. This takes place about 2 years after the first movie left off: Peter's in college, and is having a rough time balancing his normal life with his web-slinging job, and he realizes his need to set his priorties straight. Personally I think it might have been a bit too soon for Spider-Man to unmask himself to some people, but I guess it needed to be done....
Very good movie and excellent sequel... one of the few action type guy movies that a girl can truly enjoy too
