The only reason I didn't give it a 10, is that next Christmas or so when I have this on DVD and have seen it a few times, I'll probably want to skip through large portions of the more slow-moving sections.

Diaglo wanted to be different*. And KnowTheToe simply wanted to beat diaglo.
* Glad he didn't post to this thread so far, honestly. Because when he does, it might well be something like this: "The only true Spider Man is the Spider Man by Lee and Ditko (1st edition). All other Spider Mans pale by comparison."

It's definitely not just you, I like, as does my brother, and the owner of the comic store I go to, along with Ebert.
I think Ang Lee did a great job of capturing the feel of the Hulk, the only real problem I have with it is Bruce's father turning into super absorbing man at the end.

Yeah, that really bugged me, too. Anybody else think when Nick Nolte's hand first started turning all 'starfishy' that he was going to turn into the Abomination?

I saw it today and it was-
I give it a 9. It wasn't perfect but it sure was close.
You can tell that Raimi is a fan. I loved it. Molina was perfect. I do think it was better then the first.
Was it just me or did Rosemary Harris look more like her comic counterpart this time around?
I hope that Raimi didn't already choose the next villian for SM3 since a certain character found some equipment. I'm hoping for a reptile-arachnid fight! But that's just MO.

Ang Lee did a great job, as did Eric Bana (btw, loved his hulk routine in Troy (on the ship back to, well, Troy)), Nick Nolte, Jennifer Connelly and Sam Elliott - perfect cast!Welverin said:
Heck, even Lou Ferrigno did a great job!
But agreed, Super-Dad I could've done without.
Has it been announced that Raimi will be the director again?Alaric_Prympax said:

Excellent movie. Better than the first. I really can't think of anything notable I didn't like about it. I gave it a nine. I will, of course, own the DVD, but then I'm a movie junkie.
Though as for Diaglo, I would expect the line to be:
"the only Spiderman is the original 60s cartoon all else is a pretender"

I thought the first movie was more of a 10 because I never EVER thought they would completely nail Spidey and they did. So this time around it didnt have as much wow factor for me.
I expected it to be great and it was.
That said, the fight scenes and Spidey's crazy agility were more on display in this one.
Very awesome flick.

Anybody else get the impression that Spider-Man's powers in the movies are almost wholly psionic, since they were so dependent on his frame of mind and confidence level? Super-strength, wall crawling, and agility are all limited versions of telekinesis. His webbing's ectoplasm, a visible, tangible representation of his telekinetic abilities. Spidey-sense is *clearly* psionic... It all fits, I think.
An interesting view, but it was demonstrated in the first movie that his wall-crawling ability is derived from tiny, sharp "spines" on his fingertips (and presumably his feet). I guess they must be retractable, or else he'd be unable to NOT stick to anything he touched.
