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 Osborn (
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 Osborn. 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.
Spider-Man 2 was directed by
Sam Raimi, who helmed the first film, and much of the original cast has also reunited for this sequel, including
Rosemary Harris,
J.K. Simmons, and
Bruce Campbell.
