Spiderman 2 Movie Review

SPIDERMAN 2 : Stan Lee\'s all-too-human superhero returns to the screen in this highly anticipated sequel to 2002\'s blockbuster hit Spider-Man. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is attempting to juggle college classes and his job as a photographer with the Daily Bugle while maintaining his secret life as costumed crime-fighter Spider-Man. Parker is also struggling to hold on to his relationship with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), who is beginning to enjoy success as a model and actress, and both Mary Jane and Peter have noticed he\'s beginning to buckle under the strain. Parker\'s friendship with Harry Osborne (James Franco) is also beginning to fray due to Peter\'s seeming alliance with Spider-Man, whom Harry blames for the death of his father, the nefarious Norman Osborne. As Parker weighs his responsibilities to himself and those around him against the obligations that come with his special powers, Spider-Man is faced with a new nemesis — Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), a deranged scientist whose latest project has turned him into the near-invincible cyborg Doctor Octopus.

Wow, was this movie worth the wait or what!? It is so awesome to see my childhood hero come to the big screen in such an amazing way. My only complaint is that, just like the comics there\'s too much Peter Parker and not enough Spiderman...but I\'m not Stan Lee so that and 75 cents will get you a cup of coffee. The special effects are unprecedented, the dvd has LOADS of extras for the fans out there. My favorite scene in this movie was when Spiderman almost had his arms ripped off saving the people on the train. It was extremely powerful and I swear I had tears rolling out of my eyes seeing the people care for a torn and beaten-up superhero. It filled me up with intense faith in all that is good in the world. Although it will never happen, Toby deserves an Academy Award nomination for his acting in that particualr scene. I can\'t wait for the next one!
