SPIDER-MAN 2 (2004)
Featuring: Tobey Maguire; Kirsten Dunst; James Franco; Alfred Molina
Director: Sam Raimi
Like a spider, an octopus has eight limbs. It is therefor fitting that one of Spider-Man's opponents should be just such a creature.
Two years after graduating from high school, Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) struggles to make ends meet in order for him to pay for his collage tuition. On the other hand, his erstwhile friend, Harry Osborn (James Franco) who took over his late father's industrial empire seems to thrive. But when an experiment at one of his factories goes horribly wrong and produces the monstrous Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), Spider-Man must use all his abilities and strength to prevent this machine-beast from destroying New York City.
The main focus of this first sequel in the franchise is the relationship between Peter and Mary-Jane (Kirsten Dunst). He is seriously conflicted between his love for her and his responsibilities as super-hero. Must he forsake the love of his life for his sense of duty or can he strike a balance? Like most super-hero movies these days there is a moral dilemma our protagonist has to deal with first before he is able to fully take up duties that come with his calling.
Overall I enjoyed the movie and give it a rating of 3 out of 5 stars.
