Two years have passed for Peter Parker, established in his role as college student...and as a crime fighter. He can't keep up at school, pay his rent, or make amends with his estranged best friend Harry, who wants Spider-Man dead. Mary Jane is more skeptical than ever of the man in her life. Peter's idol, a renowned scientist named Otto Octavius, who resurfaces as Doctor Octopus following a failed fusion experiment. Peter, at times noticing he's losing some of his powers, and feeling the effects of the stress in his personal life, realizes he must decide between being who he once was or retaining his secret identity to stop Doc Ock and save New York City.

Thinkerprint:gHfIThe best movie to hit the screen in years. The story flows and handles its archetypes well, keeping the characters deep enough that they don't turn into cliches. Alfred Molina is a brilliant Dock Ock, turning the green-suited comic book man into a realistic force of (misguided) destruction. The music fits perfectly; the humor pokes in at appropriate times and never falls flat; the graphics are stellar and make you think it's all real.
If you don't see any other superhero movie, see this one.

Thinkerprint:WSXTThis was an incredibly overrated movie. For the first hour and a half we're hammered with how much Peter Parker's life sucks. We get it after 15 minutes! If they would've cut this down it would have been much more enjoyable.

Thinkerprint:SArPAn interesting (albeit overblown) cinematic reference to the Farnsworth fusor, a type of fusion reactor.
