An excellent follow up of the 2002 blockbuster hit movie Spider-Man! As we follow up in the sequel we find mild-mannered, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) having a hard time in his life especially with the whole Spider-Man and fighting crime thing. With the Spider-Man thing going on, it was effecting Peter Parker's life and his grades, his jobs and his relationship with Mary Jane Watson (Kristen Dunst) and his friendship with his best friend Harry Osborn (James Franco) and Mary Jane was about to get married to J. Jonah Jameson's son, John Jameson (Daniel Gillies). One day when Dr. Curt Conners needed Peter Parker to write a report he goes to get information from Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) when Osburn Corporation has him perform an experiment with these mechanical arms in the experiment. But when the system in the experiment overloads the mechanical arms start controlling Otto Octavius making him become Dr. Octopus! Dr. Octopus decides to restart the whole thing from scratch and go after Spider-Man!
Peter realizes that only Spider-Man can stop him, but of course, problems arise. Mary Jane gets caught in the middle, and Harry Osborn, who still blames Spider-Man for the death of his father, Norman Osborn, also the Green Goblin, wants him dead. Spider-Man will have to push himself past his limits if he's going to survive. The ending to this movie gets this whole dark moment coming in for Spider-Man 3! The first movie just showed how Peter Parker became Spider-Man and this movie just had all the good stuff happening! I also recommend X-Men, X-Men 2, Daredevil, The Hulk and Spider-Man 1.
BOTTOM LINE: THIS IS A MOST SEE MOVIE AND SO IS THE FIRST SPIDER-MAN MOVIE!
