Saw Spiderman 2 this afternoon - loved it!
It might even be better than the first one, which I thought was great. Difficult call, though.

And had the pleasure of watching it with a friend in a theater all to ourselves. Great fun to be able to talk and move around and stuff while watching a movie on a big-ass screen! I wish I could do all my movies that way.

Loved Spiderman 2. Highly recommended!

1. I saw it when it was in theaters
I think I'm going to have to rent the DVD, unless it's on Movies OnDemand...then I'll get it there.

Good flick!

2. Thanks for the review!
I am going to try to catch it tomorrow--I have heard good things and I loved the preview.

3. and one has to admit that Tobey and Kirsten are both beautiful people
so full of wonderful innocence. You just want them to be together!

4. I have to say I liked the first one better!
The second was really good, but a little slow in spots. The first one really clicked. Still, a great movie, and probably a sign that there will be countless more to come in the franchise!

6. it freakin' rawked
I LOVED Doc Oc- superbly cast.
I personally think Spider-man 1 and 2 are fantastic movies- damn those who think comic movies can't be good.

7. I liked it very much too...!
I never saw the first Spiderman movie to be honest BUT this one completely moved me...I actually got teary-eyed a couple times but had to supress it because I am a stoic male and it was "just a comic book movie"...I loved everything about this movie and the special effects were about as realistic as can be ! Doctor Octopus was great! and I now have a crush on Kirsten Dunst, who I was totally unaware of before...

8. It's quite a bummer of a film, for the most part.
For a while there, I almost thought I was watching Willard again. :)

I just got done with Pedro Almodóvar's newest film, Bad Education. Definitely not his typical style. As usual with Pedro's films, I absolutely loved it.

9. Willard? I'm not seeing the connection
Unless there's a Willard movie that isn't about Willard's Rats.

10. My only real complaint
is that I think they rushed through some major plot points.

They could have (and should have, IMO) spread out the character development over two pictures rather than getting it all done in Spiderman 2.

I was disappointed to see Mary Jane cued in to Peter's secret identity so soon.

That said, I eagerly await the next installment. We are likely to see the return of the Goblin and the Lizard.

13. It better not be the Goblin - it damned well better be the Hobgoblin!
That's all I have to say about it.

i also loved the woman with the violin singing the SpiderMan song from the old TV show. LOL.
