"Spider-Man 2" (widescreen special edition)
"Spider-Man 2" is probably one of the best superhero movies I've ever seen (I don't think it's the best. That award would go to "Superman" or "X2"). It's (for the most part) well-written, the action sequences are entertaining, and Columbia Pictures, Marvel Enterprises, Tri-Star Pictures, and Sony Pictures have put together a fun DVD.I have one or two complaints about this sequel, though. The love scenes between Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson are awkward and uncomfortable. It was disheartening to see two great actors play such wooden performances in these scenes. Also, that sickening scene where Doctor Octopus gruesomely murders those poor doctors. This belonged in a scene of "Saw", not a "Spider-Man" movie.The DVD includes copious bonus features, including a very funny blooper reel (and the contagiously catchy "New Spider-Man Theme" that plays at the end), cool documentaries, and a video game preview.So, overall, great film, great DVD, and I can't wait for "Spider-Man 3", with the Sandman, Venom, and I heard tell that Harry Osborn will become the Hobgoblin!
