Love Story

Rating: 5/10 (30 June 2004)

Spiderman 2 has more pieces of a love story and less fighting than the first Spiderman. Mary-Jane is getting married to Mr. Jameson's son and Peter Parker is trying to win over Mary-Jane after letting her down by not keeping promises because of his responsibilities as Spiderman. Peter Parker seems to spend a lot more time contemplating whether or not he should continue to be Spiderman than anything else because he wants to have a normal life. Alfred Molina did a great job as Doctor Octopus and played the part exactly the way a comic book fan would expect. When the movie did have fight scenes between Doc Oct and Spiderman, they were better than the first movie's fight scenes between Spiderman and the Green Goblin. Like the first movie, the ending makes it clear that there will be at least one more movie in the Spiderman saga.
