Movie Synopsis
After the fight against the Green Goblin, Spider-Man Parker (Tobey Maguire) reluctantly rejected his only true love Mary (Kirsten Dunst), because Spider-Man’s identity will create a new life for him and him. Relatives bring great danger, Parker decided to take on the responsibility of Spider-Man alone.
Parker has been busy with various challenges: learning the flexible use of superpowers; hiding himself under the double identity of a superhero and an ordinary college student, living a cautious life, and so on. Parker is getting more and more difficult to extricate himself from Mary, but as Spider-Man, he can’t open his heart to Mary.
The friend Harry has always been against Spider-Man because he misunderstood him; the only relative, the aunt, also has doubts about Spider-Man’s true identity. At the same time, a new challenge appeared: the evil and powerful Doctor Octopus. Parker shouldered the mission of Spider-Man under all kinds of pressure.
