Surprised noone has put up a thread yet...
KINDA SPOILER-ISH
Spider-Man 2 far exceeded my expectations. Not only am I obviously a huge fan of the character but I love the director's work, too and the homages he put in this movie made me enjoy it ever so much. From Peter's walk down the street to that song to the chainsaw in the hospital scene, it was such a fun ride.
There are a couple downers. I wish Doc Ock was in it a bit more and that his device and fate were explained more. And I wish a few less people saw Parker without his mask. It seems like everyone knows who he is, even though they don't know his name under the mask. They just know his face so I guess it's not a big deal.
But those couple downers are nothing compared to how much I enjoyed this film. The fight scenes were breathtaking and the acting was great. Seeing Norman Osborn in that mirror was haunting. I heard a collective gasp from the audience when Harry saw him. Plus that dream sequence with Peter and Uncle Ben was touching. It worked well as symbolizing Peter turning his back on his promise of responsibility.
Back to the action scenes, which I thought were amazing. Even though a couple had some faulty CGI, almost all of them were amazing. There were some scenes where I could tell if it was CGI or live-action. They certainly amped up the CGI here and it looked marvelous. The fight scenes were so intense to watch. My heart was racing during most of them, especially the train sequence. They really outdid themselves with all of this.
The various subplots were good too. I like how we are going to be kept guessing about the fallout from Harry's two discoveries. Those will definitely drive the next movie. I also wonder how they will take the Peter and MJ subplot. Will they go the comic route or make some changes? I am not sure but I do know I really enjoyed this and thought the movie was executed close to perfection. Molina was perfect as Doc Ock, and the rest of the cast was back in their top form from the first. Maguire, Dunst, Franco, Rosemary, all of them.
The movie also pulled in alot of money last night according to SuperheroHype!. According to the site, the movie pulled in an estimated $40.5 million!
