Spider-man 2 is a practically flawless movie, and it is also the film fans of the comic book have been praying for. The franchise got off to a wonderful start with "spider-man" and made a whole load of money and was a really worth comic book adapt. But compared to this its incy-wincy spider! Peter Parker can't seem to catch any kind of break. Being Spiderman has brought him nothing but problems as far as his personal life is concerned. Not only that, Mary Jane Watson is engaged to astronaut John Jameson, and Peter may lose her forever. Things are so bad for him that he is pushed past his breaking point, so he decides that he doesn't want to be Spiderman anymore, until a freak accident transforms Dr. Otto Octavius into Dr. Octopus, a super-villain with four metal tentacles coming out of him. Peter realises that only Spiderman can stop him, but of course, problems arise. Mary Jane gets caught in the middle, and Harry Osborn, who still blames Spiderman for the death of his father, Norman Osborn, also the Green Goblin, wants him dead. Spiderman will have to push himself past his limits if he's going to survive. Dr Octopus is still the greatest marvel bad guy brought to the big screen yet and him and spidey bring some of the biggest fight scenes to the big screen (watch out for the train sequence). The actors Tobey Maguire (The Good German) and Kirsten Dunst (Marie Antoinette) give wonderful performance each of which are believable. The romance is deep and dramatic! Is there anything wrong with this movie. Its a bit long, and a lot of that is unnecessary. I guess about 20 minuets could of been lost.

A fans dream but also a wonderful treat for causal viewers, its a film you will want to watch over and over again. The greatest superhero movie to date. Its a shame about Spider-man 3 mind.
