I'll be a Whore for Hollywood!
Wait, I'm not getting paid, so I'm a slut.
Spiderman 2 is good. Really good. If you're a fan of the way Marvel does comics (which I'm more of a DC fan, but that's neither here nor there), you'll like this. Very true to the character and the setup, and even though it's set two years after the first movie, there's lots of continuing themes and friction from the first. Marvel does continuity - what a surprise.
Of course, you'll see Stan lee, but you'll have to be quick. In fact, there's a ton of little in jokes that flash by really quickly. I could here the laughs of the comicbook readers in the audience when one would come up. The flick is very funny.
The effects are breathtaking, and they really use the New York streetscape well, and the acting is pretty top notch. I'd personally like to put Rosemary Harris, Aunt May, up for a supporting actress award...she's that good.
There's one little problem - but they've used it well, realizing the ramifications of it. I can't tell you what it is, because it would give away the story. Comicbook readers will understand, but it still seems strange that you'd do it in "issue two". Still, Tobey's got to act, and act he does.
There you go. Free movie publicity. Go see it!

Man, just from hearing her voice in the clips I've seen her acting sounds deep and impressive. ^_^

So, great movie. Better than the first and now with twice as much screaming. :-)

I think they had to have Mary Jane scream now and again, if she was too independent, Spidey wouldn't be needed.
Notice that Aunt May only screamed when she was falling.

I was also trying very hard to spot Bruce Campbell, and got excited, then quickly deflated when I saw him through the doors of the theatre, only to have him appear without saying anything.
Then, he appeared again, and I was happy again.
Is the thing you allude to, the fact that (and I'll do my best not to spoil it) Mary Jane, Harry, Doctor Octopus, all the people in that one train car...you know how the sentence ends, I would guess...
Rosemary Harris was excellent. Alfred Molina made it look effortless. I can do without Kirsten Dunst, though. She does scream well, however.

Stan is just a pedestrian who yells, "Get out of the way!" and then is gone. It's really fast.
