Spider-Man 2

Spider-Man 2

A superhero movie. Released in 2002. Directed by Sam Raimi. Starring Tobey Maguire. A sequel to Spider-Man. I have watched it several times only on the television screen.

It follows Peter Parker who has had a superhuman power since he was bit by a special spider while attending a high school and fights as the superhero Spider-Man against the villains.

Peter starts to waver between loving his beloved, Mary Jane, and acting as Spider-Man and he loses his superhuman power. He takes priority over living as a young man for a while, however, he is told by his aunt, May, about what a hero needs to be and he prepares to act as Spider-Man anew. I felt catharsis when Peter says to himself, "Strong focus on what I want," jumps down from the rooftop of a building, realizes that a superhuman power comes back to himself flying and shouts, "I'm back!" I also want to be a man who never escapes from what I must do in front of myself even if I do not have such great power.

Kirsten Dunst as May Jane does not look cute that much in Spider-Man but she does more fascinating in the sequel which was released just two years later. I was remembering Rooney Mara who becomes really beautiful halfway in Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot when I watched Dunst in the second film for the first time. Rumor has it that Rooney started to date with the lead, Joaquin Phoenix, in the shooting of the drama film. She married Phoenix after it was released and gave birth to their baby boy. Although I was not concerned with the couple at all, yet I wished the family happy when I heard that the baby was named River. As for Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, rumors says that they dated each other in the filming of the first one but in fact, they did not in the second one. Dunst appears more pretty in the sequel not because she did not fall in love with Maguire but because she started to simply become glamorous as an adult woman. She is more charming in the third one. I do not have an eye for women for real.

The friendship between Peter and Harry. The romance between Peter and MJ. The relationship among the three characters is worth watching in the good action flick.
