This film essentially begins about two years later with "Peter Parker" (Tobey Maguire) going to college and working for a pizza shop after school to order to pay the bills. Between those two activities and spending an inordinate amount of time as Spider-Man, he is becoming quite exhausted. So much so that, he starts finding it much more difficult to maintain his superpowers. Likewise, the fact that he feels quite a bit of guilt from the death of his uncle along with his emotional distancing from his childhood sweetheart "Mary Jane Watson" (Kirsten Dunst) also registers heavily upon his mind as well. And just when he thinks it cannot possibly get any worse, a brilliant scientist by the name of "Dr. Otto Octavius" (Alfred Molina) suddenly transforms into a malicious monster that only he can stop. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, while not quite as good as its predecessor, this film turned out to be a decent sequel, all the same. And while I believe that Tobey Maguire performs exceptionally well in the lead role, one thing that is missing is the sense of humor that Spider-Man is known for in the comic books. Even so, I enjoyed this film for the most part, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
