without going too much into details, this is a great, fun-filled movie that stands on its own and is a great sequel. They really touch on a lot of things but it all meshes very well. you have peter/spiderman fighting his own insecurities combined with the threat of doc ock, plus harry osbornes hatred of his alter ego, his feelings for MJ etc. its all combined quite nicely and the story flows. the spidey vs. doc ock scenes are splendid and the train scene had me clutching my girl in disbelief. all in all and great summertime flick that i will gladly see again. 9/10 cause very few things are perfect, namely lord of the rings. if you don't like this flick, you probably are either taking it too seriously or are not really a spidey fan.
