Saw the movie this afternoon.

This movie proves what I've been telling others all along. Give the audience an intelligent story line, put some effort into developing the characters, and stop focussing so much on things like special effects and battle scenes (Matrix anyone?), and you will create a movie that people will absolutely love.

(Spoilers: Highlight white to read)

<span style="background-color:White;color:White;">This movie absolutely rocked! It defies the Law of Sequels that states the second movie will be worst than the first. Sam Raimi made a brilliant move by taking the least expected route. That is, he focussed the better part of the movie, not on Spiderman, but on Peter Parker. To that end, they played up the part of 'tormented hero' really well. By the time Peter Parker decided to give up being Spiderman, you actually felt the frustration he was feeling.

(I also love how they're playing the bit about Spiderman losing his powers. I wonder if the in next movie he begins mutating into the spider creature).

The only thing I hate is how all these really cool bad guys keep finding out Spiderman's identity, then dying by the end of the movie. This means there's no chance of ever seeing them again, which means we'll never get to see Doc Ock again.

On a side note, I wonder how long it will take them to come out with Venom and Carnage?</span>

Overall, even if you didn't like the first movie too much, you should definitely go see this one. It provides you with more than just simple eye candy like most sequels do. This one actually makes you feel a part of the movie, which is why you will most likely enjoy this one so much.
