Doctor Octopus Vs Lizard : Who Made A Great Impression As Doctor Otto Octavius?

Alfred molina also makes a great impression as villain dr. otto octavius aka doctor octopus, with hollywood's best cgi effects wizards lending a hand (or four) in making such a memorable character. ironically, the only thing that prevents this from being even better than the first film is raimi's over-reliance on cgi effects, the director repeatedly pushing the action a little too far beyond the realms of believability, even for a superhero film.

While her performance is fine, the character of mary jane starts to feel almost like an antagonist throughout the movie. through her shaky connection with peter, the audience is, at first, confused with her actions, and then just starts to get slightly annoyed with her character.despite all of the great performances throughout spiderman 2, alfred molina completely steals the show, playing a magnificent doctor octopus. although willem dafoe's green goblin/norman osborn was great, molina's performance slightly tops that of dafoe's.

James franco as harry osborn: oscorp's current ceo, norman osborn's son and peter's best friend, who holds his alter-ego spider-man responsible for his father's death. he is also mary jane's ex-boyfriend and still harbors feelings for her. alfred molina as dr. otto octavius / doctor octopus: a scientist working on behalf of oscorp and peter's role model and mentor who goes insane after his failure to create a self-sustaining fusion reaction, which also resulted in the death of his wife, rosie.
