The New story of Spider-Man
Sam Raimi's classic Spider-Man trilogy with Tobey Maguire looks just fine today. This is an interesting, in a sense, lamp story, it seems to be something warm and so native, from somewhere in childhood. The second film in the series came out no worse than the original, it was necessary to look back at the results of the last picture, which contributed to the construction of a holistic narrative canvas.
The main characters: Peter, Mary Jane, Harry have grown up. Their lives changed after the events of the last film, leaving an imprint on everyone. And when a new villain Otto Octavius breaks into their destinies, the guys have a lot to review in their barely adjusted everyday lives. But the stakes are much higher now, because the characters have become more mature, and with that, the film itself has become more mature.
The actors are good in their roles. Their characters, thanks to a high-quality, but not very intricate scenario, continue to evolve, and the past leaves its imprint on the relationships of the guys. The friendship between Parker and the younger Osborne is shown to be simply magnificent. The heroes have always been best friends, but then Mary Jane came between them, and then the terrible story of the confrontation between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin. The script and the actors allow you to feel this smoldering conflict between young guys who try to remain the same close friends, but sometimes you just don't have the strength to do it. Harry despises Parker for his friendship with Spider (as Osborne himself thinks), and Peter tries to maintain this broken friendship, while not forgetting that he is a superhero who should remain a friendly neighbor to the residents of the city. All these difficulties between the characters are compounded by the disaster with Dr. Otto Octavius, who has become a danger to the city.
Doctor Octopus has become a great villain for this story, especially considering how he was played by Alfred Molina. His acting transformation is the decoration of this picture, as in the first film, the participation of William Defoe. Eminent professionals act as peculiar pillars of both paintings, allowing you to enjoy their play and the genuine tragedies of the villains who became such, trying to bring something good into the world.
Each of the main characters is written perfectly, going through their own specific difficulties. Peter Parker has this constant intrapersonal conflict. The guy tries to do the right thing, but everything falls out of his hands: studies do not work out, things do not work out with the love of his life, strained relations with a friend, and attempts to be a hero begin to turn into problems when the guy even loses his superpowers. This is a great example of how a person can fall into the trap of his own self. What does Peter really want, and how to save all that he is now capable of losing? A difficult question, which will be solved by the Spider in this picture.
Harry Osborne, who suffered from a lack of attention from his father throughout the first film, has now found a new motivation for himself. The theme of revenge obscures the guy's eyes, gradually eroding the young man's faith in friendship and love. Throughout the whole picture, one can observe how he comes to something that will make him a completely different person and subsequently turn him into something new, another being.
Mary Jane is well featured in this film. Her character, who in the first picture was rather a permanent person who just needs to be saved, appears here as a person. And Kirsten Dunst has revealed her full potential, giving a really lively character who is growing above himself and is an important part of this cinematic world.
The picture will certainly please with excellent battle scenes, a more beautiful and dynamic picture, and will allow you to fully immerse yourself in an interesting story. The world of Sam Raimi will be appreciated by true fans of Spider-Man, for whom the picture has already become legendary.
