Spider-Man 2 - Movie Review

Spider-Man 2 - Movie Review

I believe there's a hero in all of us.

"I believe there's a hero in all of us. Gives us strength, makes us noble. Even though sometimes, we have to give up the thing we want the most."


There's an early scene in Spider-Man 2 that plays over B.J. Thomas and Burt Bacharach's theme song to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. This moment marks a turning point in Peter Parker's (Tobey Maguire) life. As the song suggests, no longer would he regret that he couldn't save the world from crime, excel in school, hold down a job, save his Aunt May's house from foreclosure and get the girl to boot. He realizes that sometimes heroes must give up the things they love the most.

But more importantly, this moment marks a turning point in Spider-Man 2.
