Super-hero struggling

SPIDER-MAN 2 (DVD) Cert. PG 2 hours 2 minutes

This film was one of the big pictures of last summer, but has recently been released on DVD.

I had seen the first Spider-man offering and thought that once you had seen one super-hero movie you had seen them all. However, friends told me that the sequel moved on from the first. Indeed it does.

First, with true postmodern angst, the villain of this film is a scientist, whose well-meaning experiment to create infinite cheap energy goes wrong and he is taken over by malevolent forces. Science produces more problems than it solves?
