Better Than The First

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2005)

Spidey is back with a new villain and a new edge in the story. Peter parker (Tobey Maguire) is a regular college student in New York but hides a secret he has had for a while. he is secretly Spiderman, the Web Slinger and savior of the city. but Peter is having trouble with his life for the two identities are conflicting to much. He gives up the life of the Spidey.
But soon a new villain is on the move, a doctor driven mad by his own work, Dr. Octavius (Alfred Molina) is seeking to finish his work with the extra pair of arms attached to his back. Now Parker must decide whether he is to be Spidey and save the day or sit back and watch the city destroyed.
The story is better than the first. The idea of Spiderman actually experiencing human emotion is a lot more believable. Maguire is his usual self playing a strong hero and Kristen Dunst as his secret love. In my opinion, this may be the best superhero movie ever made. Alfred Molina I liked more as a villain than Willem Dafoe.
Spider-Man 2. Starring: Tobey Maguire, Kristen Dunst, Alfred Molina, James Franco, and Rosemary Harris. 4 1/2 out of 5 Stars.
