Spidey tangles his web for Dr. Octavius.
Well, here we go again. Tobey Maguire spins the web again. While I feel the Spiderman films of today are strictly for the teenagers, I am a Spiderman fan from way back. The comic books of the 1970's, the cartoons and "The Amazing Spider-Man" tv series with Nicholas Hammond as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Spiderman still holds my interest.Now they got Spiderman delivering pizzas. Peter Parker is shown more human and clumsy in the film. Even has a heart. His stronger side will be tested again by a new villain, Dr. Octavius (Alfred Molina). To make matters worse, peter occasionally keeps losing his spidey powers in mid-flight and Dr. Octavius has four metal tentacles to deal with.Most of the cast fromSpider-Man (Widescreen Special Edition)(2002) return for this film, including Cliff Robertson as "Uncle Ben". Stan Lee and Bruce Campbell have cameo appearances.The film is more enjoyable if you fast-forward through the scenes with Kirsten Dunst.Disc One includes two audio commentaries (cast & crew, technical), web-i-sodes, the music video "Ordinary" by Train, Blooper Reel, previews, and a cool feature "Spidey Sense 2" in which you turn on and you will get Factoids and trivia during the film.Disc Two includes making of..Featuretes. "Enter The Web" shows you different angles of a particular scene.Easter Egg: Disc Two, Gallery Screen, Press up twice. If you see the Spiderman sense, press Enter. You will get Alfred Molina doing "If I Were a Rich Man".Followed by:Spider-Man 3 (Widescreen Edition)(2007).Update: The Amazing Spider-Man will be released July 3, 2012. Starring Andrew Garfield. Sally Field as "May Parker", Martin Sheen as "Ben Parker", Rhys Ifans as "Dr. Connor-The Lizard", Stan Lee as the Librarian.
