On to today's comic book movie...

#3--Spider-Man 2 (2004)

One of the few sequels to ever best the original. Tobey Maguire returns in a story of losing one's desire and ability to be a hero. His struggles with his personal life and his role as Spider-Man drive the movie, but Alfred Molina puts into to orbit. His performance e as Dr. Otto Octavius gives us a great foil for the heroics of Spider-Man. James Franco as Harry Osborn, obsessed with avenging his father's death provides the impetus for Octavius. altogether, a more tightly scripted effort than the original with highs, lows, and a great discovery by Harry Osborn at the end.

Memorable Quote:

May Parker: He knows a hero when he sees one. Too few characters out there, flying around like that, saving old girls like me. And Lord knows, kids like Henry need a hero. Courageous, self-sacrificing people. Setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names. And years later, they'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them how to hold on a second longer. I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams.
