Factual error: Considering the brightness of the fusion process, Dr. Octavius has to wear special goggles to be able to see it. Yet no one else in the room is wearing such goggles or seem hurt by watching the whole process, just as at the end of the movie. When welding something, no one can look at the arc that's created, as it would hurt his eyes and burn his retina; presumably, the fusion process would be brighter and more powerful than that, and so should have some kind of damaging effect on everyone's eyesight (except Spider Man's, maybe).

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Starring: Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Alfred Molina, J.K. Simmons, Tobey Maguire, Rosemary Harris
Needing the expensive metal to finish his machine, Doc Ock goes to Harry to get it. But in exchange for the metal, Harry wants Ock to bring Spider-Man to him in order to avenge his father, Norman. Ock kidnaps Mary Jane and tells Peter to bring him Spider-Man or he'll kill her. After this, Peter gets his powers back and "steals" his suit from Jameson's office. When he finally meets with Ock, a fight insues, in which Peter loses his mask. After Ock steals the breaks from a train, Spider-Man uses his all of his strength to stop it from going off of an unfinished track, which exhausts him. Before he is able to collapse, the passengers gently bring him into train where they all see his face. They also return his mask promising to keep his identity secret. Doc Ock breaks things up, however, by knocking Spidy out and bringing him to Harry. When Harry discovers the Peter is Spider-Man, he is left in shock but tells him where to find Doc Ock and MJ. Upon finding them Peter gets into a fight with Ock and after convincing him to destroy his machine before it destroys the city, Peter saves MJ from being crushed by the slowly crumbling building. She then realises that Peter is Spider-Man and they make it out just in time. But Ock doesn't. Peter tells her that he can't be with her because of the risks involved. Back at the Osborn mansion, Harry is still haunted by his father's spirit. He then discovers his father's old Goblin suit, pumpkin bombs, and glider. MJ decides not to marry Jameson's son and runs to Peter's apartment. She then tells Peter that she wants to be with him instead and they seal the deal with a kiss. They then hear the sound of sirens outside and she watches as he swings off into the sunset, knowing full well what she's gotten herself into.

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: When J. Jonah Jameson is thinking of a name for Octavius, Hoffman shouts out "Dr. Strange" and JJJ says "Already taken." Dr. Strange is another Marvel hero who lives in New York. Director Sam Raimi would later go on to direct Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness after original director Scott Derrickson stepped down.
Question: How come Harry and Peter stopped living together?

Answer: While it's never mentioned in the film, the most likely explanation is that Harry, as a rich kid, grew tired of "slumming it" and decided to move back into his mansion.
