Spiderman 2

[JohnnyWalkerBlackLabel]

Much better than I thought it would be. Definitely worth going to see if you're considering it.

[Ecstatic]

Yeah, I plan to see it. Not expecting much. But then that's when a movie can impress me: go in expecting little, so it can surprise and be, as you said, better than you thought it would be. Too often I go in expecting a lot and get disappointed.

PS Nice to see you in here JWBL!

I haven't yet seen the first one, so I have some catching up to do. They used our Redbird for one of the scenes. Here it is, on its way down I-95 last year.

Looking forward too seeing it.

Maybe next week when im off work. I've heard good and bad things.

where do i begin??? i actually can't because i don't want to spoil anything but while it wasn't the let down the spiderman 3 was, it was really close. it was very messy, poorly acted, lacked character development and overall sucked ass.

B1, that Redbird is an absolute beauty. that was the work horse for MTA's IRT line for Bronx, Bk, Manhattan routes for many decades. loved it

On the other hand...I loved it! While I really enjoyed Spider-Man 1 & 2 from Raimi, I just didn't like Tobey McGuire as Spidey.

But I really like Andrew Garfield. He captures that cocky, smart alecky Spidey I loved from my 70s comic books.

The Raimi Spider Man films were excellent because he made them well but I like the reboot better because of Garfield.

Both Emma Stone and Kirstin Dunst are both excellent in their respective roles for either director.

I guess the new reboot couldn't find anyone as great as J.K. Simmons to play J. Jonah Jameson. J.K. OWNS that role!

and for people in the know...both the second films from Raimi and Webb...121

It's really really ordinary. It seemed that it was written by corporate hacks to introduce all these future characters and sacrificed any real heart. The ending is what it is. I didn't like it the first time I read it and I still dont. Foxx is terrible, Dehaan isn't a whole lot better. Garfield sleepwalks through. The CGI is naff. Stone is good. It's a 5/10 at best. I'd need to rewatch to fairly rate it but I really dont have a desire to do so right now. Given how good Winter Soldier was a month ago it looks amateurish especially the battle scenes.

Winter Soldier was a better movie, they should have opened it in May. After what I have seen of X-Men sneak clips not much hope in that one either. On the other hand Guardians of the Galaxy will be the sleeper.
