 Fullscreen is unfortunate | |
| Unfortunately, I was given the fullscreen version...what a disappointment! Buy the widescreen if you can. | |
 FINALLY! DOC OCK HAS ARRIVED! | |
| One of the most amazing villians in the Marvel Universe was Otto Octavius, "Dr. Octopus". We get to see him do battle with Spider Man in the 2nd Spider man film. Raimi does a great job of keeping the core intact and storyline basic, after all, it's the depth of the characters that made Stan Lee's comics of the 60's some of the most sought after of all time!
Stan Lee's all-too-human superhero returns to the screen in this highly anticipated sequel to 2002's blockbuster hit Spider-Man. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is attempting to juggle college classes and his job as a photographer with the Daily Bugle while maintaining his secret life as costumed crime-fighter Spider-Man. Parker is also struggling to hold on to his relationship with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), who is beginning to enjoy success as a model and actress, and both Mary Jane and Peter have noticed he's beginning to buckle under the strain. Parker's friendship with Harry Osborne (James Franco) is also beginning to fray due to Peter's seeming alliance with Spider-Man, whom Harry blames for the death of his father, the nefarious Norman Osborne. As Parker weighs his responsibilities to himself and those around him against the obligations that come with his special powers, Spider-Man is faced with a new nemesis - Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), a deranged scientist whose latest project has turned him into the near-invincible cyborg Doctor Octopus. | |
 Film really has heart | |
| I thoroughly found this movie to be genuinely warm and appealing. It has real story and it is not too negative. Save for when Parker undisguised doesn't help the guy getting mugged. How about just calling for the police, Peter? I found the villain to have just enough scren time, anymore would have been sickening. A good movie through and through with the above exception. I enjoyed the bloopers on the DVD too. Watch them after you see the completed work though. |
