KIRSTEN DUNST... AS MARY JANE WATSON...
KIRSTEN DUNST... AS MARY JANE WATSON... really came across as Mary Jane Watson in this second movie of the planned trilogy!
Kirsten was born in 1982 and got her start as a child fashion model at the age of three in television commercials.
In 1989, Dunst moved to the big screen. Note: For you anime lovers out there, she voiced the role of KiKi in 'Kiki's Delivery Service' also in 1989.
When she was first cast as Mary Jane Watson for the first Spider-Man movie, I was wondering how she would come across like a redhead, since she is blonde, but she really did look and act like Mary Jane of the comic books in the first movie and even more in this second one. I was pleased with her performance!
The funny thing is that in the upcoming third movie Bryce Dallas Howard who plays Gwen Stacy is a red-head that plays the blonde part.... and Kirsten is blonde playing a red-head.... Go Figure !!
Kirsten graduated high school in 2000, and was playing Mary Jane in 2002 and in Spider-Man 2 in 2004. She really plays a wonderful Mary Jane role in my opinion, and I look forward to seeing her again the May 4th weekend of 2007, when the new movie opens...Spider-Man 3 with the Sandman & Venom!
I own both this DVD and the first movie's DVD, they are worth owning and re-watching!

spider-man 2,back and better than ever.
Spiderman is back for his 2nd ride, leaving off from the last film, Harry is eager to get revenge on Spider-Man, Mary Jane is engaged, and Peter Parker would just like to settle down and have a normal life, and the saying "withgreat power, comes great responsibility" plays the key role in the movies story.
And just to think that Jake Gyllenhal was about to play spiderman, that would ruin the franchise, because the chemistry between Tobey and Kristen is just so good and they act their characters great together.
The sequal is filled with Phenominal Special effects, the introduction of a new character Doc Ock, more choices, and Spiderman is beginning to realize the consequences of the choices he is making. The acting, fair, you should expect the same of what you got out of the first movie, but as for Visuals and Story, Spiderman 2 really stands out with a unique story and ending, and non stop web-slinging action. There may only be only 1 thing i am quite skeptical about, and that would be the feel and presentation. From the first spiderman, every place, every scene has a relativity to one of the charaters. The houses, had that comic "surreal" feel which litteraly put you in the book, but dont get me wrong, this movie does that aswell, but i just feel it could have been better.
After watching some dissapointments this summer I am pleased to see an enjoyable movie and have a positive word about it.
Does it beat the original, well thats for you to decide, with there being more Special effects and action for me, Spider-Man 2 is Number #1 in my books.Read full review...
Excellent sequel...
This is an excellent sequel. If you have not seen it, you have missed one of the best action movies of the new millenium.
It is rare that a sequel is as good as or better than the original (I can remember of only two and one was the 3rd installment... Aliens was far better than Alien and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was at least at the same level as the original). I know what you may be thinking... Star Wars had a bunch of pre-quels and sequels... none as good as the original though.
THIS is way better than the the first installment... and the fist installment was goooooood.
THIS is a must watch movie for everybody. Since it is no longer at the cinemas, I would recommend this even for young kids, 6 or 7 years old; however, some scenes are quite strong and violent for young children and parents must be strongly cautioned, I believe the movie is PG13 therefore please use your own discretion when showing this movie to the younger audience.Read full review...
Better Than The First
I loved the first Spider-Man movie, but this one was great! More action, new villains, hot romance, what more could you want in a movie? Peter Parker A.K.A Spider-Man is played by Tobey Maguire and Mary Jane Watson is played by Kirsten Dunst. In this movie, being two people is just too much for Peter and he has to decide what is really important in his life. While this is going on Dr. Otto Octavius is turned evil by basically a project gone wrong. Suddenly the world needs Spider-Man more than ever. Peter Parker makes choices in this movie that will affect Spider-Man forever. Plus the music in this movie is wonderful! It makes the action/special effects perfect. A must see movie!Read full review...
Amost better than the 1st
As a sequel to a smash hit, Spidy II is full of action, love, villains and a great cast backing it up. This film from the beginning never lets up, keeping you on the edge of your seat. The twists and turns action packed villain of Dr. Otto Octavius leave you wanting more, and guess what, that is exactly what you get. Plus the beautiful Kirsten Dunst is even better.
I recommend this movie to anyone who loves good action, with a twist... A good love story with a twist... Go out and get your own version of Spidy II.. You won't regret it...
I can't wait till 5/4/07 and the new SPIDY III.....

Perfect Spidey # 2!
I'm so glad they kept the same WHOLE cast that they used in the 1st one. That just made it that much better. Peters friend is still obcessed with getting revenge on spider man, a new "creature" to stop, the love of his life gets engaged but he finally gets the girl, I mean this was packed with story lines and you knew at the end that there was no doubt that a 3rd was already in the making. The whole set of spidey 1, 2 and now 3 is worth owning because you will watch it over and over for the next few years and then some.Read full review...
Movie Theater audio disc are a collectable to be treasured.
As a collector, this disc set was a nice to surprise. Unfortunately it is not a DVD set like the pictures associated with it suggest. This disc set is actually cinema audio CD's that are played in a DTS Theater processor while the film is playing. Most people probably don't have any interest in them but there are some of us who appreciate this collectable due to it's relation with the theater experience.
Theater audio is not like home theater audio for DVD's, VHS, Laserdisc, and even sometimes, Bluray. It's creation and useage aren't made for anything but getting that awesome audio experience while enjoying popcorn and soda in a movie theater. I'm a bit of a movie theater experience buff so this was right up my alley.Read full review...

Spiderman 2, (2004)Tobey Mcguire, Kirsten Dunst,....
Three years later after the extremely successful release of Spiderman, Raimi is ready to release Spiderman 2! Picking up where we left off, things are changing, but not for the better. Peter Parker,(Mcguire), feels like he's carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Amist trying to keep the world safe with Spiderman, he's have relationship problems with both Harry,(James Franco) and Mary Jane(Kirsten Dunst). This time we have four more legs to add to the mix with the villian Doc Ock,(Alfred Molinga). This sequel to Spiderman brings out the emotion, the action, the comdey and suspence of the life of Peter Parker.Read full review...
