Scene of the Week: Spider-Man 2 – Meet Doc Ock
When I think of one of the best comic book adaptations I always land on 2004’s Spider-Man 2. I would have never believed that Alfred Molina could make for such a great super villain in an action movie and I’m happy to say that I was proven wrong. Tobey Maguire is still Peter Parker to me no matter how many guys have filled the tights since, and I really felt like Sam Raimi’s directing style was on point for this series. It’s just a shame that Spider-Man 3 was such a pile of shit…
The Amazing Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus are introduced during the below bank heist scene in what, to me, is a perfect comic book robbery scene. I love the bags of money being tossed everywhere and it’s clear that Sam Raimi has a great sense of humor. Give me this Spider-Man any day of the week.
