The following is my LIKES/DISLIKES listing for Spider-Man 2 PLEASE NOTE:ALL COMMENTS BEGINNING WITH **SP** REPRESENT THE FILM'S SPOILERS.
ENJOY
LIKES:
1)Tobey Maguire's performance of Peter Parker 2)**SP**Kirsten Dunst's hair(at times it appeared she had blondish streaks in the front, but hey, I wear glasses so I could be wrong) and the ever-present sadness of her eyes(very Gwyneth Paltow) 3)The much deserved exposure Alfred Molina will receive although the role is completely beneath his talents 4)The continued earnestness Rosemary Harris has put into a character whose by all means...Spider-Man's foundation 5)J.K. Simmons for quite simply being J.K. Simmons, what a character actor 6)**SP**The presence of an indie fav(even if for three minutes)...Dylan Baker(Happiness) 7)**SP**Best Cameo By An Elevator Patron:Hal Sparks(Keep up the good work) 8)**SP**What would a Marvel-based movie be without the presence of one...Stan Lee and Camp King...Bruce Campbell 9)**SP**Mageina Tovah, for showing Parker he's appealing in more ways that one, even without his super hero identity....Urusula(the extremely skinny girl in his apartment building) 10)The enduring accomplished force of an age old concept...The Love Story 11)**SP**Bill Nunn,Phil LaMarr,Joy Bryant, and Ashy Larry(The Dave Chappelle Show) for providing New York with with what Hollywood loves to vanish from most of it's movies of this status...The African American Element. 12)**SP**The lovely Elyse Dinh for her Raimi-Camped Out version of "Spider-Man" on violin 13)**SP**The FX for Doc Ock(no heavy usage of the dreaded CGI virus) 14)Sam Raimi's directorial personality of campy,adventure, and heart 15)Bill Pope's cinematography
DISLIKES: 1)Tobey MacGuire's performance of Spider-Man 2)Kirsten Dunst's performance of Mary Jane(why oh why when Nikki Cox exist) 3)An over abundance of CGI(especially on the subway scene) 4)
And last but definitely not least:
My favorite scene when on the subway Spider-Man is unmasked before the citizens he protects, call me an old comic buff but I always wondered what it would be like for a super hero to come out of the close, thanks a million Raimi!!!
