Highly-regarded second chapter in director Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man trilogyfinds Peter Parker (Toby Maguire) strugglingto balance his personal life with hiscrime-fighting persona. Co-starring AlfredMolina as mad scientist-turned-mechanical octopus “Doc Ock,” maybe the most entertaining villain in the Spidey franchise, brought to life with Academy Award®-winning special effects. 

"The best superhero movie since the modern genre was launched with Superman (1978)... effortlessly [combining] special effects and a human story, keeping its parallel plots alive and moving."

Roger Ebert
