Well, a friend and I already have tickets (yee ha!) for the midnight show later today, so I figured its about time to get the poll ready. I've been avoiding most of the previews, but from what I've seen it looks like this might be one of greatest superhero films of all time, if not the greatest.

Rate Spider-Man 2 on a scale of 1-10 and be sure to be careful with the spoilers for those people who just want to peruse and get a feel for various people's impressions before seeing it.

Wow isn't enough. I also just got in...by the GODS. Best movie of the year. One of the best movies I've ever seen. INSANELY great action...lots of near tear-jerking moments...EVERYTHING Spiderman should be. Ending was PERFECT. Everything was. If ANYONE had doubts about Toby, Sam Raimi, or any of the cast...this movie kills all doubts.

i second that WOW

A few thoughts:
The fights scenes were AMAZING.
near flawless special effects.

the whole movie reeked of comic-book. from the fights, to the fact that everything was layed on just a wee bit too thick. a perfect translation of a very good comic book story.

so after the 2 spidey and 2 x-men movies, theyve suceeded on every level at translating very good comic book stories. all thats left is to make an absolute GREAT comic book story.

I have more comments that I'll save for the spoilers thread, but I gotta go help someone move.

And one more note: here in NYC, the whole theatre was kinda puzzled by the above-ground subway in Manhattan. Yay creative license.

Amazing movie! 9/10

The final scene is too perfect... the look on [that character]'s face just shows how much [that character] sacrifices. Not to mention the set-up for Movie 3. The train scene was amazing, the end of which had me in my seat, feeling the strain and pain that Spiderman was feeling...

The visuals were astounding, near to the point of not realizing that it wasn't real. The wall-crawling fight, and the later fights as well, were so chock-full of acrobatics and dextrous feats that I was left breathless. Some of the best action scenes I've seen in a long while.

And the guy that plays Jameson? He's amazing. I love the little in-jokes made by him and the heavy-handed homages to the comics.

Cheezy Comic Action? Check!
Fake Science? Check!
somewhat contrived, yet touching Romance? Check!
Improved fightscenes? Check!

Occasional forgetting of abilities whenever convienent to the plot? Check!

Great Comic Book Romance. Lighter on the action than my roomates were expecting, but I greatly enjoyed it.

The fight scenes were better, but I was hoping for a little more Hong-Kong style fightscenes. I mean, we've got a super agile guy who can climb walls. Good action, yes, but I wouldn't say best. Though there is that one fight...
