SPIDER-MAN 2
Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), who is Spider-Man, is down on his luck. He loses his job, the newspaper he takes photos for won’t pay him money, he’s not doing well in college, and his widowed Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) is being removed from his home.
When Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) invites him to attend the play she is in, he fails to show up. When Peter discovers she is engaged to an astronaut, he questions his position to be Spider-Man, the hero who saves all.
Meanwhile, Harry Osborne (James Franco) has taken over his father’s company. (Harry blames Spider-Man for the death of his father in the original film.) He has hired a scientist, Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), to separate fusion-based energy that is cheap, affordable and renewable.
But something goes wrong, and the artificial intelligence mechanical arms that are supposed to work with Dr. Octavius’s brain to control the experiment take over. The doctor loses control and escapes, with the arms taking the lead. He flees to an abandoned pier to recreate the experiment that can destroy thousands of lives.
Aunt May teaches Peter that everyone human or superhero needs to develop character honesty, fairness, justice and courage.
The eight-legged Dr. Octavius is amoral and devoid of humanity. His sci-fi persona stands as a counterpoint to Peter’s own growth and development.
Spider-Man 2, directed by Sam Raimi, is a little too long but has lots of special effects to keep us entertained. Fun film with pro-social and gospel values that can be mined for fruitful conversations.
