Spider-Man 2 (DVD, 2004, Special Edition, Fullscreen, 2 discs)

Great Action Movie! Tobey is better than ever! He does lose his powers and recovers. You need to add this to your collection and get ready as there will be a Spider-Man 3!

Review is from someone who had read the Spiderman comics and who has watched the cartoons in the past. When compared to the first Spiderman movie, the action scenes are much, much better; however, the storyline of the original is just a little bit better. Therefore, Spiderman 2 is much better overall than the first.

Upsides:
This movie probably has the best fight/action sequences of any sci-fi movie that you'll ever see, even beating or seriously rivaling Blade 1; you be the judge! His very, very tough life, juggling romance, making ends meet, and crime fighting (where he works probono & it constantly makes him late for all important engagements) will undoubtedly make you pity the mild-mannered web slinger. These combined pitfalls are what has made Spiderman a fan favorite over the years and this movie has them, even more so than the original. Not only that, this movie "dusts off" an old foe that Spiderman can't physically stop, but he has to mentally/diplomatically outwit the very intelligent Doc Oct. Spiderman has limited powers and basically no resources and so things don't come easy for him at all and to me that's what makes Spiderman a cut above Superman(is almost invincible and has a good, steady income/resources) or Batman(has no powers, but is rich and has unlimited resoures) Hence, Superman and Batman are more for rich people, while Spiderman is more for ordinary everyday Americans. Spiderman/Peter Parker is real and not surreal like alot of superheroes; check it out; you can relate to him! Bring on Spiderman 3!

Now, the only Drawback in a otherwise super movie-
The part of the movie that doesn't add up is when Spiderman gives up being a superhero. In the Movie: When Spiderman gives up crime fighting, he automatically loses his superabilities - evident is when he has to put on his glasses to be able to see straight. There's no way that just because you decide not to put on a costume, you automatically lose your powers! That's what happened to Spiderman; just because he decided he wanted to live a regular life, poof- his powers were gone! He gained his powers from a radioactive spider, which in turn gave him radioactive blood and that can't be changed by thinking, "Today, I don't want to be Spiderman anymore!" He was supposed to keep his powers, even though he decided to quit and not use them. Maybe over time, he was supposed to get rusty, but practice and training was supposed to restore his abilities again! Only a blood transfusion or blood disorder could cause him to totally lose his powers like he did and even then it would be a little bit harder to regain them(if he could even regain them at all)!

Lots of action!! not great for all ages but would recomend for every one..this is not only a must see movie but it is a must have movie. seen it a few years back and always thought about iut but never bought it until now and am extemely happy with it!!! A+++++++++++ really funny!!

I bought this dvd for my son for christmas. It was a great deal and I could not pass it up. I am sure he will love it for christmas.

Was very happy to be able to get the DVD to complete my set. The seller was very good to deal with and the product was as described. I would recommend to any of my friends.

bought the NewPhone 74205 three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. It has a 1M-pixel camera, video camera, and speakerphone. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. My only complaint is that the menu system on the phone makes you click four times before you can find someone in the address book, set an alarm, or perform a additional functions. Other phones I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.

My grandson is a big spiderman fan and didnt have spiderman2 The dvd box was not shrink wrapped so it doesn't appear new. does not appear to be damaged. thank yoy

I enjoyed this game very much. It's graphics were superb and the velocity of the game was enjoyable for me. It kept me interested and was a challenge at times which is always good.

I bought it because I loned it to someone else and I never got it back. I like Spideman 2 for the action in it. My son also was wanting to see it. We have all the Spideman movies, once again !

Great action packed movie. This has no foul lanquage. Not too scary for elementary school age children.I wanted the sequel to the first Spiderman.

Need to see Spider-man before this one. Is about a boy who was bit by a spider and obtained spider like characteristic and powers/abilities. He uses these powers to save the world from harm done by bad villens and in the meantime falls in love with a girl. this movie is a continuation of this story as she revealed his secret of who he has became from spiderman 1. hope this helps.

I THOUGHT THE PRODUCT WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND IT WAS SHIPPED IN A VERY REASONABLE MANNER. THE SELLER WAS GREAT TO WORK WITH. WE HAD SPIDER MAN 1 ON DVD AND WE NEEDED SPIDER MAN 2 TO MAKE THE COLLECTION COMPLETE.

shipping was goo, fast and very secure, i am very glad to do bussines with you , many thanks and keep post it move movies of spider man

love IT just as advetized. brand new factory sealed.what the hell ealse do you want me to say? it is a spiderman dvd. its a movie about a guy with spider like powers he wears a red and blue spandex clothes and can spin webs. there is that 100 characters?

It was a fun marvel movie, presented with great colors and sound and looks amazing on my big flat screen. It was a very pleasant purchase. The disk came with absolutely no scratches and was in new condition as was the packaging. The price was great. I got it for about 4 dollars when the price in the store was 12 dollars. Cant beat that.

We really liked the movie. Did not like the fact that it did not come with original art work that DVD's come with but still liked movie alot.

Spiderman is such a lovable and very normal superhero that any geek, outcast, or weirdo can relate too. The one that has large dreams, loads of smarts and potential and no real chance to pursue them. It's just a great movie to continue from the first spiderman. The main question is, will he ever get Mary Jane? Will they ever hook up and marry? You watch to find out.

Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man 2'

"Face it, Tiger, you just hit the jackpot", Mary Jane Watson

~ Dialogue straight out of the comic book ensuring that this sequel is going to be well worth the wait! OK, not quite as good as the first - sequels seldom are - but a valiant effort on the part of Sam Raimi.

Here we have the next big Super Villain, Dr Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus [Alfred Molina], who is about to further complicate Spider-Man's [Tobey Maguire] already failing personal life: Parker is experiencing financial difficulties and his studies are slipping. To top it all off, Mary Jane [Kirsten Dunst] is now engaged to astronaut John Jameson, son of Parker's overbearing newspaper editor, Jonah. Things just go from bad to worse for the web-slinger.

Meanwhile, following the death of his father [the Green Goblin], Harry Osborn has now now taken over Oscorp Industries and is in business talks with Dr Otto Octavius. The Doctor, Parker's idol, has created a set of mechanical arms that are impervious to heat and magnetism; the experiment goes wrong and the arms become fused to the spine of Octavius, taking complete control of the doctor both mentally and physically.

Aunt May is later captured and taken hostage by Dr Octopus. Spider-Man too falls prey to capture and is delivered to Harry, where his true identity is under threat. How much can one guy take?

'Spider-Man 2' is all about choices for Peter Parker: lose his alter-ego and concentrate on number one or continue with the responsibility he chose after the death of Uncle Ben ~

Raimi has skillfully recreated the classic scene - panel-for-panel - from Amazing Spider-Mam #50, Spider-Man No More, written by Stan Lee, pencilled by John Romita, and inked by Mickey Dimeo. Here Parker is seen leaving a rainy alleyway where his discarded costume hangs from the throat of a garbage can. Raimi has concentrated on the Parker who is forced to deal with actual everyday problems in Spider-Man 2, one we can all sympathize with. Parker's character outweighs that of other superheroes, for the simple fact that - at heart - he is just an ordinary guy trying to exist in a complicated world.

Also stars: Bill Nunn, J K Simmons, Ted Raimi, Bruce Campbell with Cliff Robertson and Willem Dafoe.

THIS MOVIE IS ALL SO FOR MY GRANDSON HE SAIDS THIS SPIDER MAN MOVIE IS REALIE GOOD, AND HE LIKES IT VERY MUCH, LIKE I SAID I DO NOT NO ABOUT THIS MOVIE, ALL I NO IS HE WATCHES IT 3 OR 4 TIMES AWEEK,

I bought this movie I am into Spiderman I have the first movie at home and I thinks it's great movie and Especially great Star Tobey maguire.

My husband and 3 yr old grandaughter love this and all the other spider man movies. Bought this movie for them as they have pratically worn out SM1.
It's not exactly my cup of tea but they like it so that is all that matters.

Another great addition to my DVD collection. The price was terrific for such a popular movie, especially on DVD.

I liked the casting of Tobey as Spider-Man. If you have ever read the comics. You know he is basically supposed to be a teenager and not some muscle bound super type. Doc Ock was cast perfectly. This movie is MUCH better than some of the other Marvel movies, with the exception of the X movies.
