Doc. Oc. is the Best SuperVillain yet!
Doctor Octopus is an absolutely fantastic supervillain. And those mechanical arms are really something to see in 3-D. I saw this dvd of Spider-Man2 in 3-D at home using a new kind of 3-D glasses they've got here on Amazon. They let you watch normal movies in 3D.TV Eyes 3-D Glasses: Watch any movie in 3-DAnd Spider-Man 2 looked really great. But what really stood out for me in this movie was the portrayal of Doctor Octopus. The actor managed to make Doc. Oc both ruthlessly dangerous, and humanly relatable at the same time. My favorite scenes were when Doc. Oc was climbing the buildings, all those arms moving around everywhich way. And the scene where he and Spider-Man have a fight on a moviing train were awesome!This movie had a good solid storyline, and plot, as well as some of the best characterization of any of the Marvel franchise movies. The action scenes were intense (especially in 3-D) but they always advanced the plot. While they were definitely eye candy, they were also important to the storyline. This movie also continues the storyline of the Goblin, which culminates in Spider-Man 3. (I went and saw Spider-Man 3 at the theater and took my 3-D glasses. It looked amazing, especially the Sandman and the final battle between all the characters. I can't wait to get it on DVD and see it again at home.) All three Spider-Man movies have been brilliant examples that comic books are not just for kids, and that entertaining, meaningful stories can still be told, even with superheroes.I highly recommend this movie, and the others in the series.
