Spider-Man 2 is a 2004 feature film and the sequel to the 2002 film Spider-Man, a superhero film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. Both were directed by Sam Raimi.
Two years have passed, and the mild-mannered Peter Parker faces new challenges as he struggles with 'the gift and the curse,' desperately trying to balance his dual identities as the web-slinging superhero Spider-Man and his life as a college student.
Tormented by his secrets, Peter finds that his relationships with all those he holds dear are in danger of unravelling.
His life-long yearning for Mary-Jane becomes even stronger as he fights the impulse to reveal his secret life and declare his love.
His friendship with Harry Osborn is complicated by the young Osborn's bitterness over his father's death and his growing vendetta against Spider-Man.
Even Peter's beloved Aunt May, who has fallen on hard times after the death of Uncle Ben, begins to have doubts about her nephew.
Peter's life is about to become even more complicated as he encounters a formidable new foe - Dr. Otto Octavius. Peter must use all the powers at his disposal to try to stop this diabolical madman in his octagonal tracks.
