SpiderMan 2: better or bust?

[LadyBird]

I saw Spider Man 2 on Sat. night and I really enjoyed it. I thought it had something of everything in it. Like there was romance, action and some parts I just wanted to cry and other parts I laughed. So it had it all IMO. However, some parts were quite cheesey but overall I thought it was a lot better than the first movie.

I saw it tonight and I'd say it was a LOT better than the first movie (*but to me, that's not saying much*). This one was actually GOOD, in my opinion. The first one was kinda... boring... to me! haha. However, this one surprised me.

Spiderman 2 was excellent. Doc Ock was 10x better than Green Goblin. The storyline was better. The comedic scenes were hilarious. The love story fit in well with everything else in Parker's life at the time. Everything was pretty much on target with this one. fight scenes were definately better. Yes, Spiderman 2 is better than the original. So go see it!

Saw Spiderman 2 lastnight.

Boy that was a great movie, much better than the first!

Wonder where they will go with the third.

I thought it was a really great movie. The storyline was better. The relationship between Peter & MJ was better. If I was Peter, I would have said, "I love you." to MJ over and over for two reasons: 1. Because he can now say it. 2. All those years he held his tongue from saying it. It finally can get out of his system.

The comedic scenes were hilarious.

Especially on the elevator!

Forgive me, I haven't read the past posts so I don't know what everybody has said. But I would like to add my point of view and thoughts, since I'm such a huge Spidey fan.

I loved this movie. I say this one was a little better then the first one, but I love them both equally. I remember thinking what an injustice it was at the end of the first one that the hero couldn't even get the girl. The poor guy had been through so much, why did he have to go through the suffering of denying himself the one he loves? When this movie finally came (and, BTW, I saw the very first showing on opening day ), I was so happy that Peter and MJ might finally get together. I was a little bummed when they were up there on the web and she didn't say something to the effect of, "Let me choose when and when not to put myself in danger!" But she did that later and I was quite happy.

The humour was great, just as good as in the first one if not better and I spent a good time laughing. The part with the pizza was great and so was the scene in the elevator. Classic.

Doc Ock was spooky, but not quite as evil as the Green Goblin. I thought the GG was eviler and ultimately cooler, but Doctor Octopus's costume was much cooler and the fight scenes were more thrilling. Those tentacles actually creeped me out and I was relieved I wasn't the one who would have to go up agaisn't them.

The scene on the train was very touching and I'm so glad it was put in there. I know that never happened in the comics and was changed, it was still great and I loved the way they all tried to protect him.

Throughout the whole movie I wanted to give Peter a hug. I really did. I nice long and big bear hug.

The only comment I have is that Doc Ock never found out who Spider-man was in the comics. Granted, he wasn't really evil in this movie it was the tentacles, I still have to say it never happened. Its something I can easily get over, however, so its not a big deal to me.

Sorry for the long post, I love Spider-man and thought the movie was great. The way it was translated into movie from comics was great and so was the acting.

okay I liked them both but I think the 2nd one was better b/c of the more developed love story hehe

i saw spidey 2 on opening weekend....

the title sequence at the front was nice.. a way to remind every one of what the first movie had in it.....

the movie itself had much more of a real feeling then the first.... i think this was because the stunts and scenes were bigger and more crisp.

the humor was perfect and the "guest stars" were very nice and nicely placed..... i still wonder if stan the man was killed by the flying car... = : >


over all great movie great action and good story...( i am still a little confused on the whole losing his powers things.... but thats just me)



the only thing i didnt like about the movie.... why did he have to expose that he is parker...this is always over done in superhero movies....it seems the super hero always has to give up the secret..... and thats is not right....




in jesus,
psycho

What a great movie! One of those that is better the first! And, it makes you want another one RIGHT NOW! Not two years from now!

It really is great!

AHHH! totally! i dont know what i can do for two years. first off, let me say i am a rabid SM fan. I started with the comics and loved the movie. I saw SM2 the day it came out, saw it the next day, and saw it the 4th of July. (it was great at a drive in!) I think it was better. the graphics were better. the fight scenese were better, i was literally holding my bretah during the train scene. and i dont want to spoil it for anyone, bu i was so happy about what happens with Peter and MJ!!! YEEEEEES! Ha. i need to go see it again.

Spider-Man 2 is a little better than Spider-Man, but they are both great. Spider-Man 2 goes into the relationships between Peter and Mary Jane and Harry. It has a more realistic story and a better villian. I love how you can go for the ride with Peter when he is fling through the air and cars.
I've heard how people want Venom in the third, but I've also heard that Venom will have his own movie, so if the latter comes true (probably will), Venom probably won't be in the third Spider-Man.

Do you think that SpiderMan 2 will be better than the first or a dissapointment like most sequeals are?

Definitely better... S1 was just plain nonsense. S2 was much more enjoyable. The villain in S2 was particularly good.
