This is the second film in Sam Raimi's brilliant Spider-Man trilogy. As I've
said in past reviews, one of the greatest strengths of these three films is
the casting. Actors were chosen who looked like the characters in the comics.
Alfred Molina looks so much like Doctor Octopus that it's difficult to imagine
anyone else ever playing the role.
I recently read that when the first Spider-Man film was planned in the early
2000's Stan Lee requested permission to play J. Jonah Jameson. I have
mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, I admire Stan Lee so much that I'd
love to see him in a large role rather than a brief cameo. On the other hand,
J. K. Simmons played the part so perfectly that I wouldn't want to
see anyone else. Supposedly Steve Ditko based his drawings of J. Jonah
Jameson on Stan Lee. I shan't say anything else about it. Whichever decision I
make, I'll regret it tomorrow.
