As good as the 1st...but not better

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2004)

Maybe it the all the hype..maybe it was because everyone said it was 20X better than the 1st. Or maybe it was that punk 5 year old kid who kept talking through the whole DAMN movie. I wanted to slap the parents. Who knows, but all I know is that it was good and maybe just as good as the 1st, but not better.
Spiderman 2 had some slow parts and not as much action as the 1st.
The whole Jesus thing too was a little much. Yeah I get that the whole world is against him but the subway scene was just TOO much. (You'll know it when you see it, all that was missing was the cross) Oh and one more thing, why does everyone and their mother have to know who Spiderman is????? I think just about everyone finds out. Hell even Aunt Mae knows, she just isn't saying.
Action (when there was some of it) was great. MJ was, how can I out it, FUGLY? They need a better MJ, and can we please stop seeing those pancake boobs??? We get it, you don't wear a bra when its wet outside.
As for Doc Ock...well what can I say but AWESOME. A little chessy when you 1st meet him but still good.
As for the whole movie in general, much more upbeat than the 1st, and maybe thats why I didn't like it. The 1st was a little more darker and thats how I like my comic book movies. Like the 1st 2 Batmans.
Now heres what I think whats going on the Spiderman 3. ***SPOILERS***
Doc Conner was shown in the 1st and more so in the 2nd, so I expect the Lizard to be in the 3. Also of course we all know who the new GB is going to be. Oh a little side note to that, was William D.'s cameo really needed? COME ON!! Just let HArry find the lab while he is tormented with the fact that his best bud is Spiderman, the man who killed his dad.
Also, a long shot, Venom. Why? Well Brock was in the 1st movie and for some reason they needed to show Brock being fired again at the start of the movie for Spiderman 2. During that whole painting recap of the 1st movie.
