Spiderman 2 Spoiler Thread

I saw it today, great movie. But didn't Mary Jane kiss Peter at the end of the first movie? I thought after that kiss, MJ kind of knew he was spidey, but she has to kiss her fiance to find out?

After two years some doubt had settled in and she had to be SURE in this one. Works for me.

As I understood it, MJ just got the idea into her head after the final kiss in the
first movie that he's Spidey. Now she wants to be sure. The difference between
suspecting something and knowing something.

That wasn't the point of the kiss. She kissed her fiance that way to see if they had the same "magic" as when she and Spidey did it. She obviously decided they did not.

Did it bother anyone that Doc Ock, who (other than having those arms fused to his body) is a completely unaugmented human managed to just shrug off repeated punches to the face from a guy who's strong enough to force a train to a stop and hold up a falling wall? He doesn't even end up with a bruise or a split lip, but Spiderman somehow gets completely cut up. :\

I just saw it. I loved it! An excellent movie, not just an excellent comic book movie.

Several people mentioned there being scenes that brought a tear to the eye. I agree, there were a few of them. But the one that really got to me was where Aunt May told Peter that she had thrown away all of his old comic books.

Man! Don't even KID about something like that!

As for favorite lines, I liked the one at the beginning of the movie: "Hey! Spider-Man stole that guy's pizzas!"

Stan Lee WAS in the first Spidey movie. He saved a little girl in a very similar situation...the Marvel movie Stan Lee wasn't in was X2(methinks at least)

I was a bit surprised he was in this one, I recall him saying he was only going to be in the first movie of a series a while back.

Also, he wasn't in either of the Blade movies, bu then he didn't create Blade.

Nope, didn't bother me at all. That's just comic books for you.

It's rather close to home actually, I could have inherited the first couple of years of Spider-man and Fantastic Four if not for my one aunt. I would have had to shre with my brother, but still.

Spidey has a long history of always pulling his punches in fights.

I still weep about those boxes of 50s and 60s comics my grandmother threw
away. It was my dad's and his brothers' and I used to read them as a kid
when visiting. But one day my grandmother needed room for a new freezer
and to the trash the boxes went. 100s of issues of Silver Age DC and Marvel
stuff, most in pretty good condition.

*sniff*

If you say so... I guess my reaction to the movie can just be put down to the fact that I don't like Spiderman, then. Too much teenage angst bull and Lawful Stupid behavior.

I thought about that myself, but then rationalized it as having something to do with the tentacles being bonded to his nervous system, so they can override the pain sensation.

Maybe they can stimulate his body's healing processes as well, somehow? Dunno, but that's how I'd explain it. Anyone read the novelization? Maybe it can shed some light on things.
