Spider-Man weaves intreaguing web in sequel
Crime fighting doesn't pay, discovers Peter Parker in "Spider-Man 2," released this week on DVD.Like the record-breaking 2002 film, the sensational sequel sticks mostly to the rich source material, the Marvel Comics title from 1963.Toby Maguire looks suitably uncomfortable as the conflicted web slinger. His heroic deeds wreak havoc on his personal life. He's always late, he's broke, his grades are falling and he can't confide in the love of his life, Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst).His problems would have most of us climbing the walls. They make the wall crawler lose faith in his superpowers and force him into some tough choices.While Parker can't pay the rent, the film snared a juicy $373 million at the box office.Indie-film actor Alfred Molina is a great casting choice as out-of-control Doc Ock.DVD extras include a second disc with a 12part making-of featurette, bloopers, commentary and much more.
