He can't keep up at college, pay his rent, or seem to make amends with his estranged best friend Harry and his beloved Mary Jane is more skeptical than ever. Peter begins to notice that he's losing some of his powers and wonders if the cost of being a superhero isn't too high. Meanwhile Peter's idol, the renowned scientist Otto Octavius, has turned into a maniacal cyborg after a failed science experiment. Peter realizes he must decide between the ordinary life he so desires and the responsibilities of retaining his secret identity to stop "Doc Ock" and save New York City from destruction.

good submitted by ColeenT on July 15, 2011, 1:07pm good

spidey rules! one of the best comics ever submitted by nasuaada on July 27, 2011, 9:12pm spidey rules! one of the best comics ever

Great Comic Book Movie submitted by AMP35 on August 28, 2011, 12:37pm One of the best Marvel Comics movies out there. This movie has a lot to offer: great action, great story, and good acting.

Spins a web, any size. submitted by Spidon on June 27, 2012, 2:15pm Spider-Man 2 is the best of the trilogy.

Still good submitted by crazypockets on July 13, 2013, 12:16pm I still like this one, too. Again, it's very comic-booky, but I kind of like it that way. Doc Oc is a great villain, and very well played by Alfred Molina who is able to be both friendly and terrifying in the same movie because he's just that talented.

Yeah submitted by leenajong on August 16, 2015, 9:10pm Tobey's the best Spidey ever.

Great series! submitted by carolynherrmann on August 21, 2015, 6:08am I love this series. The acting is great and the action is non-stop.

Nope submitted by ishhewitt on July 10, 2016, 2:31pm Still bad. Bad casting choice. It's an OK action film otherwise.

Sequel better than original submitted by tcrbondy on June 16, 2018, 10:39pm This is a fantastic movie. It hits on the dynamic of SPider-Man and Peter Parker so well. And the movie is driven by choices the protagonist makes. Arguably the best superhero movie of all time!

The best in the series submitted by jessNU on August 31, 2018, 11:04pm If you're going to watch one, watch this one

I hate seeing Spidey get so beat up. submitted by tbbrown76 on July 21, 2019, 12:22am Why does he have to be such a loser in life. He could easily be more Tony Stark-like. I suppose that's his lot in life. Recommended.

S2 submitted by crp on August 24, 2019, 10:46pm A good sequel to S1

good film submitted by .-.-.-. on June 11, 2022, 9:20am Probably my favorite in this series. Definitely recommended! You don't even have to watch the first film to enjoy this one.

Better than the first! submitted by ValerieL on June 28, 2022, 6:54pm I really enjoyed the first Spider-Man film with Tobey Maguire, but I love this one even more. The struggle Peter faces between his two sides of life. He wants to be ordinary and yet, he can't seem to stop fighting for justice. In the end, I feel as tho' he's made peace with himself in this installment.

Good movie submitted by Jae Garcia on August 4, 2022, 6:08pm I liked the first one a little more though.

yeah good submitted by yazied on August 14, 2022, 5:29pm yes good
