Well, I saw SM2 today at 8:45am.... I had low expectations, and the movie didn't dissapoint.

Actually, it wasn't too bad. The dialog was a bit too contrived (as expected in a movie like this) and the special effects weren't any better than any other effect movie.

The biggest problems came from how slow the movie got trying to detail Peter Parker's struggle between the responsibility of being Spiderman vs. his responsibility to himself and those he loves.

However, the love story between MJ and Parker was well done... in fact it was the best part of the whole flick. 'Course the fact that it's got Kirsten Dunst, who I think is uber-hot, doesn't hurt.

One big dissapointent is that once again, this "Sam Raimi Film" doesn't feel like a Sam Raimi Film. There's only one scene that has his "touch" on it (when Dr. Octo is in surgery.... you'll know it when you see it). I always hoped the SM movies would be big-budget, super-hero versions of Evil Dead/Army of Darkness... with all kinds of crazy camera shots, unnecessary zooms, and rediculous expressions on the character's faces. But this movie just felt like every other big comic movie with big CG special effects sequences and fluffy dialog... which I guess isn't a big problem, I just thought there was potential for something more.

One cool thing is you'll notice Ash in the movie if you pay attention!
