Spiderman 2 Spoiler Thread

Hmm... Now that millionaire Harry Osborn knows Pete is Spidey, couldn't he hire a mercenary hunter to take Spidey down, a.k.a. Kraven?

Or maybe Kraven is after the Lizard, and Spidey has to take 'em both down. It's a way of having two villains in the movie without resorting to weird partnerships...

I don't want two villains in the same movie, frankly. It's one of the (many) things that sank the Batman franchise.

Many, many, many many, many, many things...

... and they're all best left unsaid!

BTW, my favoritest part of the movie was right after Spidey stops the train, is about to fall, and the New Yorkers gently hold him, lift him up and lay him down on the floor.

Second favoritest:
"Dude, Spider-Man just stole that guy's pizzas!"

Great movie, but I'd still have Spider-Man wisecrack some more. At least call Doctor Octopus by that old James Bond movie title (dunno if it's bad form to type Octopu...y here).

How could a doctor miss all of the effects of his genetic mutation?

Besides the other points brought up, I'm thinking that Peter is going to be going to the absolutely cheapest doctor he can go to without it being in a back alley somewhere.

Saw it yesterday, at the finnish premiere.

It was great.

It was touching at moments, funny at others and exhilariating in the action scenes. The fights were just stunning - thats what the fights between superheroes and supervillains should look like. They utilized their powers fully, not slugging it out like normal humans (with high strength) would've.

You just knew that it was on when Peter Parker rose from the rubble after the coffee shop scene.

Before this X2 was the best superhero flick. Now I'm not sure.

I agree 100%. Too many new characters means less screen time and less development time for everybody (and the established characters, like the hero, will probably lose out the most). I hope that Raimi continues to stick with 1 major villain per movie.

Thirded. One of the things that made this movie work so well was that we got more of the existing characters, rather than spending the whole movie trying to develop totally new characters. The movie deftly inserted Octavius into the existing framework, and then gave characters like MJ and Aunt May much more to do in the story. Further, Octavius was well-developed.

Compare that to the last three Batman films, where they kept piling crap upon crap. Two-face? Wasted. I didn't even see Batman & Robin, which I am told makes me a lucky man, just like when I took a pass on Highlander 2.

After two good X-men films and two good Spiderman films, I can only hope that the Fantastic Four movie isn't too bad. PLEASE.

I don't think it'll be the Green Goblin next time.
I think Harry will try to enlist someone else to hurt Peter.
Imagin Spidey facing the Green Goblin, and then finding out it isn't Harry.
Perhaps Harry also approaches Jameson (Peter stole MJ) and gives him some of the GG serum?

Also, did anyone notice the jump John Jameson made when rushing to save MJ? I think he's Man-Wolf already!

 

[Staffan]

just like when I took a pass on Highlander 2.

Now you're talking crazy, man. Everyone knows that no-one would ever think of such a stupid idea as making a sequel to Highlander. Remember, there can be only one.

I just saw this movie last night. Loved it.

The opening credits was a cool way of showing a synopses of the first movie.

. . .

One of the things that I always loved about the Spider-Man world (and the superhero world in general) is that SM was not the only superhero. He knows, and everyone else knows, that there are lots of superdudes in the world.

I would love for the makers of SM3-6+ to find a way to show some other superpeople.

Maybe the opening credits of SM3 can show spidey fighting some of the lesser supervillains. Some guys like Shocker and Rhino and Electro and Beetle could be shown without having to show their whole backstory (I don't even know their backstories in the comics -- to my knowledge, they just exist). Just get it acrossed in the movie that there are other suped up guys in the world.

******

Anyone else taken aback by how Octavious' cybernetic arms were not considered amazing technological advances in and of themselves?
