The most sensational cinematic superhero film ever unleashed, Sam Raimi’s Spider–Man 2 maintains the Evil Dead director’s trademark sense of free-wheeling fun, while successfully expanding upon what could be artistically accomplished with a massive studio tentpole. Tobey Maguire returns to the webbed suit, battling both inner demons and the dangerous Dr. Octopus, while balancing heroic obligations, his feelings for Mary Jane, and the need to repair his relationship with former best friend Harry Osborn.
