Trivia:
The production was unusually lucky for such a big movie filming on numerous outdoor locations in that it never rained. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Dock Ock is climbing the building right after the bank heist, we see from inside the offices how the tentacles crash though the wall - the pincers are closed in their "spiky" form and penetrate the wall completely. However, when the view changes to outside we see the pincers open and "grabbing" into the masonry, not going through the wall but only into it enough to hold on. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Peter Parker: [narrating] She looks at me everyday. Mary Jane Watson. Oh boy! If she only knew how I felt about her. But she can never know. I made a choice once to live a life of responsibility. A life she can never be a part of. Who am I? I'm Spider-Man, given a job to do. And I'm Peter Parker, and I too have a job.

Quite surprisingly good, 9 July 2004
8/10
Author: kyndby from Copenhagen

Well I saw the first and Thought .. OK, nice movie, but nothing special. So I wasn't looking much forward to the second one. Boy was I wrong.. The second one has it all... And I mean all. Suspense, romance, action and some quite nice Effects. Tobey Maguire is performing well, and Kirsten Dunst... wauw.... she is breathtaking...And only 22, so we can only hope to see more of her the coming years. Last but not least, Alfred Molina, who is the bad guy. He is very convincing and very very nasty. The computer-effects used are better than I have ever seen. Now you get the feeling of flying. I recommend all to see this movie, yes girls too. Remember.. movies are best in the cinema!
