Amazon.com:
More than a few critics hailed Spider-Man 2 as 'the best superhero movie ever,' and there's no compelling reason to argue--thanks to a bigger budget, better special effects, and a dynamic, character-driven plot, it's a notch above Spider-Man in terms of emotional depth and rich comic-book sensibility. Ordinary People Oscar®-winner Alvin Sargent received screenplay credit, and celebrated author and comic-book expert Michael Chabon worked on the story, but it's director Sam Raimi's affinity for the material that brings Spidey 2 to vivid life. When a fusion experiment goes terribly wrong, a brilliant physicist (Alfred Molina) is turned into Spidey's newest nemesis, the deranged, mechanically tentacled 'Doctor Octopus,' obsessed with completing his experiment and killing Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) in the process. Even more compelling is Peter Parker's urgent dilemma: continue his burdensome, lonely life of crime-fighting as Spider-Man, or pursue love and happiness with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst)? Molina's outstanding as a tragic villain controlled by his own invention, and the action sequences are nothing less than breathtaking, but the real success of Spider-Man 2 is its sense of priorities. With all of Hollywood's biggest and best toys at his disposal, Raimi and his writers stay true to the Marvel mythology, honoring Spider-Man creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and setting the bar impressively high for the challenge of Spider-Man 3. --Jeff Shannon

Spiderman is always spinning his webs all over the place to keep up with the bad guys. He battles doctor octavious and saves not only the girl but saves the day as well.

"Spiderman 2" is the best film in the Spiderman series. Good special effects, an interesting villian, and a decent story come together in a film that will satisfy most actions fans.
After a great title sequence, the film has a bit of a shaky start with some forced humor related to a janitor's closet but improves from there on in. Your enjoyment of this film will no doubt depend on your tolerance of Tobey Maguire's klutzy character and the continuing tease around his romance with Kirsten ... Read More

While definitely improved, its really not that much more enjoyable than the first. The only difference is, I actually liked Peter Parker in this, though his whininess was constantly grating. Kirsten Dunst was annoying, just like in the first one. The effects are better. The plot is barely improved over the first movie. It was decent, but still not good enough.

This almost was a 5 star movie. I gave it 4 because of the Doc Oc character. His many mechanical arms seem to think on thier own in this movie. That is just plain silly & doesn't follow the true comic story line. He & only he controls the arms. Also on the train when we see an unmasked Spidey. I wont go into detail incase you have yet to see, but I don't recall any such event happening & I don't think it would have been written. Aside from that, WOW! A great movie! Ramie does a fantastic ... Read More

This is the winter (or perhaps the autumn) of Peter Parker's discontent. Two years after receiving his spider-powers, his life seems to be falling into chaos. He's devoting so much time to fighting crime as Spiderman that his part-time job (from which he's fired in the first 15 minutes of the movie) and his college career are floundering. For reasons unclear, he's no longer rooming with his buddy Harry Osborn, who has assumed the chieftainship at Oscorp; instead he's living in a poky one-room apartment in ... Read More
