After escaping some daily duties, similar to Peter Parker, I finally had a chance to see Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man® 2. I was not disappointed. It was really good. Part 2 was definitely better than the first one, and they left the door open for Spider-Man® 3. The plot was solid all the way through, providing a good mix of drama, action, and sci-fi. And the sequel again stayed close to the original character. Peter Parker is plagued (and I mean plagued) with problems stemming from ordinary life and his responsibilities as a super hero. They included some things in this film that you wouldn't expect - I won't give them away here, but they were logical and made the film deeper. Hats off to Sam Raimi the director, Tobey Maguire (take care of that back next time around), and Kirsten Dunst and the whole team. I was genuinely enthused and delighted when I walked out of the theater. All the hard work paid off. I wanted to take it home and watch it again, but alas I'll have to wait until it comes out on video or DVD. Maybe I'll see it again in the theater if I have time. Which reminds me, this is definitely a movie you want to see on the big screen. My Score: 9 out of 10. The Story: Spider-Man 2 Two years have passed, and the mild-mannered Peter Parker faces new challenges as he struggles with "the gift and the curse," desperately trying to balance his dual identities as the web-slinging superhero Spider-Man and his life as a college student. Tormented by his secrets, Peter finds that his relationships with all those he holds dear are in danger of unraveling. His life-long yearning for M.J. (Kirsten Dunst) becomes even stronger as he fights the impulse to reveal his secret life and declare his love. His friendship with Harry Osborn (James Franco) is complicated by the young Osborn's bitterness over his father's death and his growing vendetta against Spider-Man. Even Peter's beloved Aunt May (Rosemary Harris), who has fallen on hard times after the death of Uncle Ben, begins to have doubts about her nephew. Peter's life is about to become even more complicated as he encounters a formidable new foe -- Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina). Peter must use all the powers at his disposal to try to stop this diabolical madman in his octagonal tracks.
