Continuity mistake: During the train scene, Spider-Man's mask had gone partially black. We also see it when Spidey puts his mask back on. Yet when Doc brings him to Harry, we don't even see a patch of darkness on his mask.

Plot summary

Two years of being Spider-Man is really starting to catch up with Peter Parker. He now attends Empire State University and his alter-ego is starting to cut in on his social life. His powers are also cutting off on him from time to time. He's invited by Harry Osborn, his best friend and new CEO of Oscorp, to attend an experiment conducted by famed Dr. Otto Octavius. The experiment, which was to create the power of the sun, required Octavius to where four mechanical arms his back, but it goes terribly wrong. During the chaos Octavius' wife is killed and the arms malfunction making them stuck to his body and leaving him completely out of control of them. After Peter misses Mary Jane's play she gets mad and tells him that she's getting married to J. Jonah Jameson's son, John. To top things off, Peter finally tells his Aunt May that he was responsibly for Uncle Ben's death, which she doesn't take very well. Meanwhile, Doc Ock is trying to rebuild his machine. So he creates a scene at the bank to get the money he needs for the parts. Thinking that he isn't meant to be Spider-Man, Peter throws away his costume in order to live out a normal life. Without Spider-Man around, crime in the city skyrockets.

May Parker: We need a hero, couragous sacrificing people, setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero, people line up for 'em, cheer for them, scream their names, and years later tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who told them to HOLD ON a second longer. I believe theres a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble. And finally gets us to die with pride. Even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want most, even our dreams.
Trivia: Dr. Curt Connors, Peter's one-armed teacher in the film, is the man who will later become The Lizard, one of Spider-Man's longest running enemies.
Question: What exactly does Aunt May mean when she says, "What do you mean 'we'" after Spider-Man tells her, "We sure showed him"? Is she just being modest?
Answer: I later found out it could have been a reference to a Spider-Man comic. In the comic, after he rescues a girl from a bad guy, she says "We sure showed him!" There is a thinking bubble by Spider-Man's head saying "We?" It's like the conversation in the movie but in reverse.
