Spider-Man 2
Went to watch Spider-Man 2 with friends last Saturday. It was full house when we watched the 10:15PM show. I think most of the session were packed since its premier on last Wednesday.
The story of Spider-Man 2 starts after two years when he first put on the red and blue webby spandex. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) struggles with his 'gift and curse' as he lives a dual-identity lives as Spidey and college student plus part time worker. Because of this, he's always late and appears exhausted everytime. This has negative impact on his relationship with his yet-to-declare-love, Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) and also his best buddy, Harry Osborn (James Franco).
For awhile, Peter declares he's Spidey no more as he wants to live a normal life and to protect his love interest with Mary before she ties the knot with astronaut John Jameson (Daniel Gillies). No worries, he goes back into the Spidey business after he notices disasters during 'Spidey no more' period. Aunt May somehow talks some sense to him as well. My guess is she knows Peter is Spidey. The plot gets complicated when Harry wants Spidey dead, to avenge for his father's death. He isn't aware that Peter is Spidey and the truth behind his father's death. Anyway, in the end everyone gets to know who's the man behind the webby mask.
Like all superhero movies, there's at least one supervillain for the superhero to have fun with. Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), a scientist working for Harry's Osborn Corp. survives a freak laboratory accident and transforms into Dr. Octopus, a multi-tentacled menace. The fighting scene between Spidey and Doc Ock was breathtaking. Spidey's attempt to save trains from crashing is stunning and heartfelt. Lots of CGI.
While Doc Ock is a menace, he died as a hero when save the city by sacrifising himself and goes 'kamikaze' with the 'trilium' energy ball thingie. He also reliases that the tentacle attachment that he created has been messing around with his mind and made him a villain.
This sequel delivers some important lessons in life. The one I like best is when Aunt May goes, "I believe there's a hero in all of us. Gives us strength. Makes us noble. Eventhough sometimes we have to give up the things we want the most". The funniest part of the movie is when this Asian lady on the street starts singing the 80's version of Spider-Man theme song while plucking her violin as-a-matter-of-factly. Know what's the best part? You get to see the Asian lady doing her version of Spider-Man theme song on violin twice! Haha... :)
I guess we can expect to see the next sequel of Spider-Man with Harry succeeded his father as the Green Goblin.
