What Parents Need to Know
About Spider-Man 2
Parents need to know that this movie has a lot of comic book-style action violence, though slightly less than the first movie. Characters are in frequent peril, and some are killed. There is some mild language and some social drinking, and one character abuses alcohol to drown his pain.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why Peter Parker would want to stop being Spider-Man. How do we know when to give up our dreams for others? Families could also talk about the statement that "If you keep something as complicated as love bottled up inside it can make you sick" and Aunt May's comment that there's a hero in all of us who allows us to die with pride. Why does Peter feel that he can't share his real self with anyone? How do we know when to trust someone with our secrets?

Great movie, and the actor for Doctor Octopus really changed the wimpy guy from the comics into a really strong villian. Fantastic fights, my favourite was the train scene.

Too much pain and terror - not comic book violence
I was particularly disturbed by Doc Ock's murder of the medical staff. We see them in real terror and pain - not at all "comic book-style action violence" - more realistic, disturbing, more emotional content that I wanted in action violence that my son was watching. It was just this one scene, but it was pretty intense and disturbing.

spider man 2 review by critic07
It is one of my favorite movies, i saw it in theatres when it first came out in june 2004 (i was 4), just like i saw the first one (i was 2). This was a great movie, great action, and also very intense. If you liked Spider-Man 1 you will like spider man 2.

Not as good, but still great!
It might not be as good as the first, but this movie still has great messages, the fights are good, and the villain more memorable. This film is great and must not be missed.
I rate this title on for age 11 and give itBest of the series, in my oppinion!
Wow, this movie is amazing! One of the rare sequels to(in my oppinion) be even better than the first movie! A great plot, and character developmentl ike you wouldn't believe! Like the first one, there is language, smoking, and some sexuality and intense/scary moments. Despite all of that, I actually believe that this movie is more appropriate for your eleven year old than the first one is, aside from one hospital massacre scene. That scene was not graphic, but it was freightening. As it stands, twelve year olds will do fine, and I believe most eleven year olds will too, although they may cover their eyes at the hospital scene.

The worst of the trilogy, but still a great movie!
This movie is not as good as the first one, but still it is a movie that is well worth watching. It has only one frightening scene, in which Dr. Octopuse massacres people in a hostpital. I personally think that that scene added nothing to the movie, and is too frightening and intense for anyone under 13. Aside from that one scene, any 12 year old, and most 11 year olds should be fine while watching this movie. Sex is limited to revealing outfits, and a couple of kisses

A Great and Fun Sequel with Great Messages...
SPIDER-MAN 2 is a great sequel that suceeds on all levels. It maintains the great story of one and even tops one's action. This time Spidey, otherwise known as Peter Parker, is falling in his grades and his on/off relationship with MJ. He wonders whether he's meant to be Spider-man as he fights ex-role model scientist Doc Oc. Violence is constant and cartoonish, with people falling out of buildings onto webs or being saved by our hero. No sex, and mild language like "a*s". Great messages as well. Highly recommended.

A great comic book movie.
Spider-Man 2 brings us an exciting and heart-filled movie that can be watched with the whole family. The choice of casting Alfred Molina as Doc Ock couldn't have been better,and his tentacles move like they're actual living objects.Tobey Macguire and Kirsten Dunst are of course perfect and J.K. Simmons gives us a good laugh here and there. The constant unmasking of Spider-Man is not as big of a problem as you might think.Real life problems and drama only had to the already great movie when unmasked,and are just as enjoyable as the action scenes them selves. I could go on and on about this movie,but it's great and that's all there is to it.
