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

Deux ans après avoir adapté une première fois le comic de Stan Lee et Steve Ditko, le réalisateur Sam Raimi poursuit son entreprise avec Spider-Man 2 en proposant une version plus profonde et psychologique des aventures de l’homme araignée.

Peter Parker a bien des soucis. De nombreux tourments l’agitent : sa double identité de super héros, son amour secret pour la belle M.J. et son amitié chancelante avec Harry Osborn bien décidé à se venger de Spider-Man, responsable de la mort de son père. Mais il doit également faire face à un nouvel ennemi : le Dr Octopus.

Faisant entrer l’ordinaire dans l’extraordinaire en explorant avec une certaine finesse l’intériorité et les doutes de son super héros, Sam Raimi humanise alors ses personnages et réussit à insérer dans son récit de science-fiction de jolis moments d’émotion. Motivant de spectaculaires scènes d’action, cette émotion naît également des charmantes interprétations de Tobey Maguire et Kirsten Dunst. Et si Alfred Molina campe un méchant parfaitement crédible, seul James franco (Osborn) ne paraît pas à la hauteur de ses acolytes. Comptant sur un rythme haletant, le film est encore ponctué de moments d’humour bien pensés. Complet et riche, Spider-Man 2 est tout simplement un divertissement de haute tenue. – Helen Faradji.
