eggwardsWait, 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!

Notice that Aunt May only screamed when she was falling.
