Spider-Man 2 (2004)

Oh no another flying boy scout fan.
At least the cast is good, and Bryan Singer already proved his capacity in the comics-to-movies realm.

I didn't like too much Spiderman 2 either. Why did they make no. 2 after all ? To earn more money from it ?

On the other hand, I liked Spiderman 1.

And lets not forget peter once again agonising about being spiderman, and having to recieve a posthumous lecture from Uncle Ben.
Most overused line in any film to date:
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
both films relied far to much on CG and used the 'awww shame' scenes with the citezens of New York standing up for Spidey in the crunch to nauseating effect. I love comic book movies. No matter how badly done, but this was exceptionaly bad.

Note my vote for Best comic book film also goes to Flash Godron

Nooooo nooooooo

So long as they're grossing $200+million in the box office, you better believe more Spiderman films will follow.

Actually, Spiderman 2 was much better than the original, but I can't understand his attraction to Kirsten Dunst. When she goes in to kiss Peter (just before the car comes flying in), the close-up of MJ on the big screen scared me more than anything I saw in The Grudge. They should have used CGI on her.

hehehehe

Oh ya, MJ in the comics is a much more glam and oomphy character than this...you'd think Hollywood'll go for that sort of thing.

Number 2 was a huge improvement over the first. American critics loved the first but it had shoddy special effects and the story was not quite there. But Raimi nailed the second one with Peter's backstory.

You're kidding. I was dissapointed with the second. You knew where it was going whether you'd seen it before, knew what should happen or anything. The first, I loved much more. Yes, you always knew Spiderman would win, and some of the special effects weren't top quality, but overall, it was better.

The storyline was kind of predictable, but seriously- spiderman is awesome. I still love this one, watched it on TV the other day- it's awesome

[Lizzydown21]

Lol.. That was really funny.. And I see it not as a bad line.. those lines were cute...

And here's another original line from the first Spidey movie...

"Who am I? You sure you wanna know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale, if somebody told you I was just your average guy, not a care in the world, somebody lied. But let me assure you, this, like any story worthtelling, is all about a girl. That girl. The girl next door. Mary Jane Watson. The woman I've loved since before I even liked girls..." Spider-Man (2002)

I'd really loved that line..

sorry folks, I've been a reader more than moviegoer, I read the novelizations before I saw either movie, and liked a lot of the stuff that never made it on screen. like Mary Jane telling Harry she didn't like Interview with a Vampire, because the little girl in it creeped her out.
