Rate Spider-Man 2 [No Spoilers]

[Wombat]

I liked the film quite a bit, possibly even more than the first one (still debating this).

The one thing that bothered me, though, was that I saw several people bringing very young children (as young as two or three) to this film. Although there is no serious blood or anything, the film is VERY intense, both in terms of physical and emotional violence. I would strongly suggest not taking young children to it; wait for the small screen, where the impact will be at least somewhat lessened!

That being said, once again, I think this was quite a fine film!

Depends on the kid. I'd have agreed with you, not long ago, based on my two older ones. But my third, who is still not three years old, is not at all bothered by intense images at the movies; in fact, he eats them up. He also eats up superheroes and general (and Spiderman and Hulk in particular, and from the previews he's got a good idea of who Doc Ock is now as well) and would have a blast. Ironically, my 6-yo probably couldn't handle it, though.

Great flick. Definitely the best this year, in my opinion.

It was so good, that I did not want it to end. Everytime it seemed like something would be resolved, I would silently beg the screen to stop it from happening. I was afraid to look at my watch, for fear that it would tell me that my two hours were almost over...

Wow, is all I can say. And Sam Raimi--I can't imagine a better match. Emotional where it needed to be, and positively frenetic (in true Raimi style) when it needed to be that.

The thing I found most amazing, looking back, was that there was *no blood* AT ALL, except on Pete/Spidey's wounds. Not a single drop in the whole film. Strangely, I did not feel its lack. It was so artfully, purposefully done that I cannot imagine it having been otherwise.

Oh yeah -

Hoffman is played by Sam Raimi's brother.

I frickin' love that.

My group and I went to see it last night...

It's just too bad that they didn't have any cameos a la X2 when they were interviewing Henry McCoy on the TV, or even when the name "Remy LeBeau" and a file named Omega Red came on the computer screen at the Weapon X lab. Mention of Kassidy and maybe Felicia Hardy would have been nice but I was glad Doc Connors was in there, the Lizard was always such a badass. Go team Reptile. over all it was a good movie.

9/10 for sure.

Very good movie, I never thought that Doc Oct would be that good. Simply amazing, best film of the year I've seen.

One word pretty much sums it up for me: WOW!

If I had to be really nit-picky, there are a couple of moments where the cheese-factor is laid on just a little thick. Nevertheless, I still gave it a 10. Absolutely incredible movie.

This looks to me to be the highest any movie has rated on ENWorld...even better than the LotR movies.

Eh, 99% of the people who gave LOTR lower scores on forums like this were those unable to recognize the difference between capturing the spirit of the novels and capturing the letter.

Spider-Man's story has been retold in so many different comic book series and cartoons that there isn't any one version for so-called fans to get in a tizzy about if the film doesn't follow it to the letter.

What is interesting to note is that Spider-Man 2 shares the exact same rottentomatoes.com approval rating as Return of the King: 95% approval with 97% cream of the crop approval. Very impressive.

Good point...but still, I've not ever seen this many 9s and 10s(especially 10s) on a poll here at ENWorld. I was almost surprised to see myself selecting 10...then I realized I was seeing the movie again that day at 4PM. Twice in one day! Woo!
