Which brings me to why this film and really Spider-Man in general have an impact on audiences so heavily, his problems.

It's really just your typical scientist gone mad idea, but juxtaposed with Peter's struggling personal life, it plays extremely well.

We get introduced to a few new characters this time around, and of course none more prevalent than Doc Ock, played by Alfred Molina. What I really love about this film is how well it balances out screen time. Thrilling, surprising, and poignant, Spider-Man 2 showed that you don't always have to play it safe with our favorite web-slinger, there's so much more underneath the skin to address.

Similarly as dated as the first Spider-Man film is, Spider-Man 2 isn't the easiest re-watch. Complicating matters are his best friend's (James Franco) hatred for Spider-Man and his true love's (Kirsten Dunst) sudden engagement to another man. Meanwhile, Spidey's alter ego, Peter Parker, faces fading powers and self-doubt. Doc Ock blames Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) for the accident and seeks revenge. Octopus, a cyborg with deadly metal tentacles. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) is transformed into Dr. When a failed nuclear fusion experiment results in an explosion that kills his wife, Dr.
