I mean it doesn't all of a sudden go from a funny factor of 1 to 10 but it does move up say from a 5 to a 6 or 7.

Seemed way too depressing. I mean give the guy just a little break during the movie (besides the payoff at the end).
Not enough action.
Also could've done without the screaming/playing baby soundtrack that was going on in my theater. I know that will be taken out of the DVD version.
What I liked, I loved. What I didn't, I still enjoyed. I'd give it 4 stars out of 5. Maybe rate it higher when I can see it without all the distractions of babies crying, people talking, chair being kicked, etc...

So how could those disappear simply because he is having brain cramps? Those micro-feelers would still make him stick to a wall regardless if he remembers how to or not. His spidey strength still would have protected himself and his back if he had fallen.
I thought maybe the radioactiveness was wearing off or something. Is that not at all the case?

There was no evidence that the radioactivity was wearing off. Think of it as performance anxiety, when a batter is going through a slump or some dude can't "perform" it's usually not because there is anything physically wrong with him.

But with those micro-feelers that we saw protrude in 1 and thus climbing the walls..that is totally a physical attribute, as well as his strength for that matter.

So, his clinging is just a matter of control.
Then consider this: you are REALLY stressed out at work, the rent is late, your car just got repoed, ect, ect. So lets say amid all this you go and try and make some whoopie with your Lady. Unable to concentrate because of all the shit happening to you in your life, Mr Happy is unable to perform.
But Mr Happy is just a series of bio-chemical responses right? Shouldnt he be able to get to full attention regardless of what's going on in your head? And yet, it happens all the time, right?
Same sort of thing here. Peter cant concentrate, therefore the sticky goes away.

Peter can't concentrate, so he can't shoot the sticky fluid. I get it!

SM2 was fantastic, better than the first. I will make a bold statement and say, it was just as good as Superman. All the little touches were there. I don't understands people saying Dunst and Tobey were bad, they were amazing. The chemistry between them is incredible. I had misty eyes quite a few times during the film.
I'll agree with an earlier poster and say that this is one of the better films of the past five years.

and BTW, can't you just get a prescription for that nowadays.... (webbings which last more than 3 hours may be dangerous, users should seek immediate medical attention).

saw it last night and really enjoyed it, but i had some problems with it.
i loved doc oc and the fight scenes. brilliantly done. doc ock looked ****ng amazing. best cgi for a superhero movie i've ever seen. onyl a few shots looked video gameish. i loved how everyone knows who spiderman is at the end. i loved the opening and the ending, but the middle dragged considerable. 15 minutes should have been cut and put on to a directors cut or something. the stuff was important, but too much aunt may. i sorta lost interest. i was hoping she would be killed off in this one.
. i dunno if i liked this one more than the first.
1 question though: the train sequence. people were laughing at this. when they were carrying spiderman down the train when they thought he was dead.it reminded me of a religious scene but i couldn't figure out why? did this happen in passion of the christ or something? i know i saw it in a different movie before.
also, really liked the evil dead style attack sequence at the hospital, but it could have used blood. im sure rami was just itching to throw a few buckets of goo around.

no what I thought was funny, was that Hal's fictious character from "Queer As Folk" is an avid comic book collector/afficionade.

Yah and I'm sure a lot of the audience is going to get that.

to a lot of straight guys, being alone in an elevator with a gay guy can be even more awkward due to homophobia.
The dialogue was hilarious. "Great Spiderman costume." "How's it fit?" "Oh, it's a little uncomfortable, plus it rides up, and it hurts the groin."

it was funny from the start cuz Spiderman with all of his
super powers had to take the elevator and then engage in small talk with some random stranger.

I was hoping that Spider Man losing his powers was setting up a future movie where his powers go haywire.
I think it will definately be Green Goblin in 3. Didn't the cast just sign up to do 3 movies?
Great movie. I enjoyed but I did think way to many folks found who Spider Man was. I didn't mind MJ and even Aunt May was hinting she knows but not the subway and Doc Ock.
