Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
More than a few critics hailed Spider-Man 2 as "the best superhero movie ever," and there's no compelling reason to argue--thanks to a bigger budget, better special effects, and a dynamic, character-driven plot, it's a notch above Spider-Man in terms of emotional depth and rich comic-book sensibility. Ordinary People Oscar®-winner Alvin Sargent received screenplay credit, and celebrated author and comic-book expert Michael Chabon worked on the story, but it's director Sam Raimi's affinity for the material that brings Spidey 2 to vivid life. When a fusion experiment goes terribly wrong, a brilliant physicist (Alfred Molina) is turned into Spidey's newest nemesis, the deranged, mechanically tentacled "Doctor Octopus," obsessed with completing his experiment and killing Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) in the process. Even more compelling is Peter Parker's urgent dilemma: continue his burdensome, lonely life of crime-fighting as Spider-Man, or pursue love and happiness with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst)? Molina's outstanding as a tragic villain controlled by his own invention, and the action sequences are nothing less than breathtaking, but the real success of Spider-Man 2 is its sense of priorities. With all of Hollywood's biggest and best toys at his disposal, Raimi and his writers stay true to the Marvel mythology, honoring Spider-Man creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and setting the bar impressively high for the challenge of Spider-Man 3. --Jeff Shannon

5 out of 5 stars Two Great Films.......2006-03-17

I really enjoyed the special edition versions of both Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2. Both movies are great adaptations of the comic. The villians are great and Willem Dafoe and Alfred Molina both give inspired performances. Tobey Maguire was a great choice for Spider-Man and he plays a convincing Peter Parker as well. I can't wait for Spider-Man 3, especially because Sam Raimi is again going to be the director. He has really grown as a filmaker. And I hope Bruce Campbell makes a cameo in Part 3, too.

5 out of 5 stars Two excellent films for one low price.......2005-07-20

Spider-Man (2002.) The first Spider-Man film.
Spider-Man 2 (2004.) The second Spider-Man film.

INTRODUCTION:
In 2002, the first of the live-action Spider-Man hit theatres. It's not likely that the film's director, Sam Raimi, had any idea just how successful his big-screen incarnation of the classic superhero would be. It drew in huge amounts of money at the theatres, and the DVD releases did the same. The sequel, appropriately enough, was even more hyped, and did even better. And now, both films have been combined into a single set! Read on for my review of the Spider-Man films.

STORYLINE:
Essentially, this set includes both of the films. The first of the two films explains how Peter Parker got bitten by a radioactive spider, and gained the powers that ultimately turned him into Spider-Man. In the first film, the villain is former head of Oscorp, Norman Osborn, who has been transformed into the Green Goblin by a chemical he was testing. The second film continues two years after the first left off, and features Spider-Man facing off against Doc Ock, a brilliant scientist who has gone mad due to a mixture of not getting the proper credit for his work and an electric shock that permanently grafted mechanical arms to his body. This time around, juggling the duties of being Spider-Man with work and school have made Peter Parker question whether or not he wants to continue the superhero lifestyle.

OPINIONS:
Both of these films flat-out rule. Seeing the first film turned me into a Spider-Man fan practically overnight. The acting and storyline are both excellent, particuarly Willem Dafoe's portrayal of Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin. Everything the first film did well, the second one does even better. I was amazed that they managed to create a sequel superior to the original film, since sequels rarely top the film that comes before them - but Sam Raimi does it here. These are great films, and the fact that they're together in one package only sweetens the deal.

DVD:
These are the standard DVD releases of the film, meaning each one has a bonus disc of material. There are a ton of bonus features, including commentary, cast and crew interviews, and assorted other extras too. The second disc included with the first film even has a listing of a ton of the old comic books, and the plotlines of them! That's my favorite extra on either of the discs. The other features are also excellent, and if you like the films, you'll agree they're worthwhile.

OVERALL:
I can't begin to express my satisfaction with these films. The cast and crew have creates two cinematic masterpiece, and I think you'll agree superhero movies don't get any better. Being able to get both movies in a single set makes the deal all the more sweet. These are must-watch movies, regardless of who you are. Even if you're not a big fan of the Spider-Man franchise, you may be pleasantly surprised.

5 out of 5 stars Spidey Rules!.......2005-02-07

I loved the first movie! And the second one was even better (in my opinion)! I owned the first movie in VHS and wanted it on DVD so I when the second one came out I got this double set. And I am pleased with it!

Spiderman fights with The Green Goblin in the first movie. Spiderman has to also deal with moral issues and the Green Goblin is related to one of Spiderman's close friends. Also you start the story of Peter and Mary Jane. In one you also see that Peter's Uncle dies. All of this gives a great plot and keeps your interest! There is more in the movie but that is your main plot themes. Spiderman is very heavy in morals and life lessons. It is also great as a story!

Spiderman 2 was even better than the first in my opinion. Why? I think that the characters had grown and the acting was better I also liked the fact that Mary Jane finds out Peter's secret! Doc Ock was also a strong role. It was great at portraying demons and the hardships of life and loss. There is so much in Spiderman 2. Peter has to tell his Aunt May a secret that will tear him and his Aunt apart. He also struggles with being Spiderman and even toys with the thought of giving it up (let you watch to figure out if he does). Mary Jane gets engaged and struggles with her friendship/love for Peter. And James Franco discovers secrets in his own life and in Peter's life. Makes for a great movie!

I can't wait until the third movie! I know this will be a series I will enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars this is what sequels should be!.......2004-12-17

Spider-Man 2 is what sequels should be! Sequeles are rarely even close to being as good as the first movie. But this is the best sequel ever! Infact, most movies should be this good. It may even be better than spider-man? Since they did not have to focus so much on introducing the charicters, they where able to write and produce a very good movie. It continues Peter Parkers dual identity and the problems he has with it. It introduces the next bad guy in the series. Doc Oc (Dr. octopus) whos evilness spins from his most recent scientific falure. Rent it, buy it, or get if for a gift today! - from www.thebijou.net movie reviews by a fan, not a critic.

3 out of 5 stars Peter Parker is hooked on Mary Jane.......2006-08-20

This movie takes up where the first one left off. Peter (Toby Maguire) has fallen on bad times he is a loner happy because he knows as Spiderman he can not have friends including Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst); the bad guys would use his friends as pawns. Everything is going to pot. He loses his job, cant pay his rent, his aunt is on foreclosure, he can not make schedule on anything he does. His best friend is out to get Spiderman. And heaven forbid he is falling behind in school.

Looks like it is decision time between his Spidy personality and Mary Jane Watson.
Which does he chose?
Which would you chose?
Is there a way out of the dilemma?

This film is very slow moving and depressing for at least the first third. They are relying on the reputation of the first Spiderman to carry this almost similar story. When the action picks up that is all it is just action. You may want to fast forward through this as nothing is said or reveled that will have any bearing on the end.

5 out of 5 stars A Legend Comes to Life in two Masterpieces.......2006-09-14

40 years after his debut in Amazing Fantasy # 15 Spider-Man became the blockbuster movie followed a sequel starring Tobey Maguire as the teenage Daily Bugle photographer Peter Parker & the wall crawling, web slingling superhero Spider-Man as he battles Green Goblin & protects his love Mary Jane Watson, In Spider-Man 2 he battles personal problems with M.J. & with Harry who continues his veageance on Spider-Man for his father's death & battles the maniac Dr. Octopus. Two of the best superhero movies of all time, amazing, incredible, Spider-Man is one of the coolest crime fighters. Own the 2 Spidey movies & see the third installment as Spuder-Man battles the new Green Goblin, the Sandman & Venom. "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man"

5 out of 5 stars A must-have for Spider-man fans!.......2006-05-15

These two movies are the newer versions of the spiderman movies and are excellent. The storyline is good and the special effects will just blow you away. I will explain a little about the two movies.

Spider-man:
This is the first movie where you can see how peter parker turned into this "human spider". The story is well-thought-out with a great plot. This movie is loaded with action and will keep you entertained throughout the whole movie without one boring minute. The ending is great and Peter will definitely be shocked when he finds out who the villian is. But will he defeat his villian? This movie leads you into the next movie. Definitely a classic!

Spider-man 2:
As for this movie it's just as good as the first, if not better. This one has more action and really pulls you in fast, even if you haven't seen the first movie. It also has some funny (actually silly) jokes that will make you laugh. But it can be frightening at times, especially for kids. The ending is very, very good and reveals a huge secret to.....well, can't tell you which characters, you'll have to watch it first.

Now, the only reason I didn't write much about what happens throughout the movie, is because I didn't want to spoil anything. These movies are full of surprises that can't be spoiled and will make you wanna watch them again and again.

Overall, Spider-man and Spider-man 2 are pure classics and everybody must own these superhero movies. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Highly recommended!

More than a few critics hailed Spider-Man 2 as "the best superhero movie ever," and there's no compelling reason to argue--thanks to a bigger budget, better special effects, and a dynamic, character-driven plot, it's a notch above Spider-Man in terms of emotional depth and rich comic-book sensibility. Ordinary People Oscar®-winner Alvin Sargent received screenplay credit, and celebrated author and comic-book expert Michael Chabon worked on the story, but it's director Sam Raimi's affinity for the material that brings Spidey 2 to vivid life. When a fusion experiment goes terribly wrong, a brilliant physicist (Alfred Molina) is turned into Spidey's newest nemesis, the deranged, mechanically tentacled "Doctor Octopus," obsessed with completing his experiment and killing Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) in the process. Even more compelling is Peter Parker's urgent dilemma: continue his burdensome, lonely life of crime-fighting as Spider-Man, or pursue love and happiness with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst)? Molina's outstanding as a tragic villain controlled by his own invention, and the action sequences are nothing less than breathtaking, but the real success of Spider-Man 2 is its sense of priorities. With all of Hollywood's biggest and best toys at his disposal, Raimi and his writers stay true to the Marvel mythology, honoring Spider-Man creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and setting the bar impressively high for the challenge of Spider-Man 3. --Jeff Shannon

5 out of 5 stars The Extended Version Should Be Release as Theaterical.......2007-06-27

I didn't know that this movie has it's extended version and when i saw the movie, i kept thinking that this extended version should be release as Theaterical release worldwide. Nuff said.

5 out of 5 stars Spiderman 3.......2007-06-15

Spiderman 3 is an incredible movie with outstanding effects. The effets are a compliment to the amazing graphics!! Starring Toby Maguire as Peter Parker/Spiderman, and James Franco as the new Goblin/Harry Osborn. Which side will Harry and spidey be on joining. Will they reunite or rebel?

Was flint marko the true killer of uncle ben parker?who is the sandman?Many questions only to be answered if you see this movie yourself!!

This movie is unbelievable!! It is the best spiderman yet, I cant wait forthe 4th movie.Like i said the affects arent even comparible to the other spidermans.This is my favorite movie ever! Spiderman 3 waswas released may 4th with a rating of pg-13. It got this rating because of intense action violence. The movie lasted about two hours long.

I would probably reccomend this movie to anyone who likes the other spidermen. If you havent seen them, then if you like action you would love it!

3 out of 5 stars Liked it better when it was called Superman 2.......2007-06-08

There are so many people who laud this as the best comic book movie ever. I call shenanigans on that. Lifting the excellent plot device of Superman 2, Petter Parker decides to surrender being Spider-Man in order to find love and a life. Unlike the decision made by Superman, where he is forced to change who he is in order to embrace a normal life and find true love, Peter Parker selfishly gives up being Spider-Man to continue being who he was to begin with, a dork with school, girls, and work on his mind. The opening of the movie leading up to the central part of the story work quite well and I applaud the writing. Dr. Octopus' origin and goals, Harry Osbourne's continuing disdain for Spider-Man, and Peter Parker's angst all come across realistically and draw the audience in. Then they start to throw in the cliches and lame plot devices, a clear foreshadowing to what was to cripple the third installment: Peter's subconscious ridding him of his powers because deep down he doesn't want to be Spider-Man, the kid asking Peter where Spider-Man disappeared to giving ol' Parker second thoughts on surrendering the persona, etc. This is New York City. The belief that Spidey's removal would prove dire not only insults the true heroes of the city (firemen, police, etc.) it also stretches the realms of believability. With Superman, the world truly suffered when he surrendered who he was to become someone else. With Peter, it never really makes sense as to why he would want to be Spidey again, especially since his life improved once he surrendered the persona. The death of Doc Oc at the end was unnecessary as was Harry's pause when he could have killed Pete and finally gain vengeance for the death of his father.

Overall this was a fun movie. The best comic book movie, not quite. There is great writing and a good arc, but deep down it just rings hollow as to why Pete would want to remain Spidey.
