Rate Spider-Man 2 [No Spoilers]

Flexor: I could tell you that Victor Van Damme isn't the "Ultimate" Dr. Doom...

...but I'd be lying. You have every reason to be worried. Worry away!

I gave it a solid 9, since practically nothing gets a 10. That said, it was very very good and far and away better than the first (and the first was really good). Definitely the best movie I've seen this year so far.

Wow. Color me fanboy, but that movie blew me away.

Once again: wow.

Granted, a 10 would mean perfection, but hey, this movie was perfect - IMHO

It had its flaws (Aunt May's speech in the backyard for instance - didn't like that) but it's still closer to 10 than 9.

I'll watch it again. And again. And..

I gave it a 9, much better than I expected. May surpass Unbreakable as my favorite superhero movie.

Funny, I really liked that scene. As far as the "non-action" scenes go, it was one of my favorites. (You are talking about the "boxing up her stuff; neighborhood kid who helps needs a hero" scene, right?)

Anyway, I dragged my wife to this movie when we went, to make it a family event. Even she (who hates comic book movies) liked it. I think this one has great appeal, even for people who don't normally like this genre.

Just saw it tonight, and I really liked it. I'd give it a very solid 8 (would have been a 8.5, if halves were available) -- this is a thoroughly enjoyable movie, a great sequel, and a fine example of good superhero flick.

I'll leave it at that to avoid treading on spoiler territory.

Easily the best movie I've seen this year. They had involved more romance and other non-action stuff than I expected, but it was mostly very well done. I gave it a 9.

I gave it a 7. I really enjoyed the film, but I felt that perhaps a few elements left in the final cut were not as well-explored as they should have been.

For example, Peter's relationship with his landlord's painfully-thin daughter. I think this should have either been cut entirely or followed to some kind of conclusion; it was not clear in the final cut of the film what this friendship meant to Peter. I mean, I personally think of it as demonstrating that there are other women in the world who Peter could date, but that's just a guess - there's not enough on the screen to make it clear, but at the same time it's a little too obvious to be considered a subtle point, considering how long the cake-eating scene takes.

The action was very good, and everyone's performances were excellent, but it was perhaps a little bit too long. A second viewing (which might happen tomorrow) might cure me of that feeling, but I'm not sure.

I rate the original as a 6, so this is a cut above it - in hindsight, it might qualify as an 8. For comparison, I give the Burton-Keaton Batman a 6 and Batman Returns a 7, and Spider-Man 2 is a cut above the latter, so I guess it does deserve an 8.

Man, if you go twice to a film you give a 7, how many times do you see a 9 or a 10?

Am I the only one that thought this movie sucked? Everything about it was either cheesy, cliched or just plain dumb. I mean the octopus man, jesus christ, wasn't he the stupidest looking villain ever. I don't expect much from these sort of movies, but they couldve at least been consistent in their stupidity. Otto takes about 50 punches to the head from someone who can support a 20 ton girder and doesn't even bleed. And why didn't the police just get a sharpshooter to put a bullet between the villains eyes? I know its just a movie, but they couldve come up with something at least slightly plausible.

Two words for what this movie and the next shouldve been about, VENOM and CARNAGE. I gave this 4 becasue I did actually get a little bit of enjoyment from the film, mostly because MJ is so hot.
