Spiderman 2 Spoiler Thread

[Green Knight]

Exactly. Exactly. I nearly stood up and cheered when I saw that.

The cameos in this movie were nothing short of incredible.

Nice to know I'm not the only one. I nearly dropped a load in my pants when I saw him.

I also loved how they worked in the theme from the old spider man animated show.

Its been a bit since I saw the 1st movie, but didn't they have some guy singing the animated song there as well?

 

[Green Knight]

No, he was singing some other song. "And we should all just give him a great big hug" isn't a line from the original cartoon theme song. But yeah, I loved how they worked it in, though. The bad vocals and the violin were an especially nice touch.

 

[Psychotic Dreamer]

Indeed. I can't get it out of my head.

Paradoxically, I'm not too hyped over how obvious it is that Harry is going to be the villain in the next movie as the new Green Goblin. I mean, I love the emotional drama in the Spider-Man movies, I do, but I also like the action, and I don't want to have the third movie have the Goblin redux as the bad guy. While it's great for telling a story, I want to see a new villain on the screen.

Sadly, this probably won't happen. Sam Raimi said in some interview I read somewhere that he considered using multiple villains in this movie, and decided not to (rightly so), so that'll probably hold true with Spider-Man 3 also.

Just cuz Harry found dear ol' dad's stash of exploding goodies doesn't mean he'll follow as the next Green Goblin / Hobgoblin. Harry may have hated Spider Man for murdering his dad but he wasn't superfond of him either. Quite possibly he'll get the cold slap of reality when it dawns on him that the psycho Green Goblin was dad and Spidey is really a hero. He's already realized that it wasn't any competition with MJ since Pete's always loved her and she's felt the same.

I'm probably one of the few that'd rather not see Venom any time soon but seeing a few second string villains get their clocks cleaned wouldn't be bad like the Shocker, the Beetle (with the song "Help!" playing in the background), etc.

They've already advanced the storyline since it wasn't til after the Secret Wars (and the symbiote suit) that MJ revealed what she knew. Anyone know when Harry and Peter buried the hatchet between them?

Well, that's about how it went in the comics. Harry Osborn was not mentally stable, and he spent occasional stints as the Green Goblin, sometimes working against Spidey, sometimes on the wall-crawler's side.

Anyone know when Harry and Peter buried the hatchet between them?

In the end (Spectacular Spider Man #200), Harry died of a dose of a new Goblin enhancement formula that was too toxic. Before dying, though, Harry went into a burning building to save Peter. When asked why he did it, Harry got to utter his final words, "You're my best friend."

And because of that line alone, I can see that being the third movie. Very powerful stuff, there.

 

[John Crichton]

Well.

I just saw it last night and was blown away. I liked the first film but thought it was flawed in many places. This one hit all the right notes from beginning to end.

The train sequence was great. Ock was great. I really hope that they can keep this actor/director team together long enough to tell a few more excellent stories. It seems that Raimi really let loose and found a way to have his style mesh with a big budget production. While it was an excellent comic book film it also felt very human at the same time.

This was the first film I've seen in a long time that made me want to see it again in the theater...

Ah yes, I recall that issue now. However, doesn't young Norman have a hatred for Spidey? I seem to recall him getting evil faces when beating on his Spidey action figures.
