Another great trip into the world of Spider-Man, this is very entertaining.
The highlights from the previous movie shown throughout the opening credits is a nice touch and really pays homage to the comics by their design and there's so much to enjoy here right from the start!
Tobey Maguire really creates some wonderful comedic moments as Peter experiences unfortunate episodes throughout the film and makes Spider-Man's scenes powerful and enthralling.
I really like J. K. Simmons as the Boss at the Daily Bugle and he has some great one-liners as he barks orders at everyone including Peter.
Bruce Campbell has another funny cameo and it's nice to get another glimpse of Willem Dafoe's Norman Osborn.
Alfred Molina nearly steals this one for me. I really like the character of Doctor Octavius and as he becomes Doc Ock he has some great scenes against our hero. I absolutely love the robotic arms which take on a personality of their own; everything about it is impressive!
Aunt May sweetly played by Rosemary Harris shows she's still got some toughness about her and the movie is filled with comedy, action and heartfelt emotion too.
The elevator scene is pure comedy gold and it's these small moments that are really remembered!!
There are also nice performances from Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane and James Franco as Harry as they both discover Spider-Man's true identity and have to choose their place alongside or against him.
Firmly laying ground for another sequel this is a brilliantly entertaining middle part of an inspiring franchise...
