The sequel to the smash Spider-Man could not come fast enough for me. It did not disappoint. This movie deals with the inner turmoil of Peter Parker as he tries to ignore his desire for love and happiness in an effort to be the hero that New York needs. Peter's jobs are suffering, his college work is suffering and his personal life is non-existent as he rushes from one crime to the next. He is still pining away for MJ, but is firm in his belief that to keep her safe she must stay at arms length from him.

Harry Osborn has taken on a project led by Otto Octavius to create a source of renewable energy akin to a small star. Ocatavius employs a device that plugs directly into his mind and outfits him with an additional four arms that can withstand the reaction in his device. When things go wrong, the inhibitor chip in the arms gets fried and Octavius become corrupted and is now the super villain Doctor Octopus. Spider-Man starts to lose his powers as he fights his inner demons ans Peter hangs up the suit and tries to live life as a normal man. Fate would prove to be against him and he is forced to once again don the suit and take on the guise of Spider-Man in order to defeat Doc Oc.

This is probably my favorite of all the entries into the world of the web slinger. It does a tremendous job exploring the human side of the superheroes we all admire. Doc Oc was always my favorite villain and Alfred Molina breahtes him to life in a far better fashion than I could have hoped. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that is a fan of Spider-Man,
