I know how that may sound, but the first one, in comparison, seems rushed. I know it was highly-anticipated, (duh, it's Spiderman!) but they still could've taken their time.
I viewed this movie about as much as I saw the first I think. It just seems like they slowed down during production and the thought process during, was much broader, albeit more violent and even darker.
At first I didn't like this much, but I watched it the 3rd and 4th time through and I was throughly impressed. One wasn't this good and I only hope that Three will be as great (date is 4/4/08 and I'm still on my way to watch it).
Mary Jane is his love interest again, and she's married. However, she breaks up with Harold and goes back to Peter again. They love each other and unlike one, he actually makes time for her this time.
The action was great and the villain was a methodical genius. I liked the fight at the bank where money bags were thrown all over and Aunt Mae almost got crushed by that desk. That was entertaining.

Overall, the 2.1 Edition of Sam Rami's Spider-Man 2 is presumably better than the original cut, but I, like others who had seen the original cut, was a little bit iffy on some of the replacement scenes, namely the scene in the pizza place, especially how it ended this time around. But I felt the same way about the extended edition of Ghost Rider. At least at first. Now I've come to appreciate the extended edition of that film as the better cut. And I'm sure in time that the 2.1 edition of what is considered the greatest superhero film of all time will "grow" on me as well. I wonder if I'll feel the same way about the Director's Cut of Daredevil. I think it's funny how the 1.5 edition of X-Men (which is pretty much the Definitive Edition)didn't have any deleted scenes put back into the film. My major complaint about this new edition is the lack of the original special features, something of which I think makes the invention of the DVD so great, aside from beautiful picture quality.

I liked Spiderman 2 even better than Spiderman 1. There were some scenes where he ran around with his suit but not his mask that added some interesting twists. I really liked the ending, but I don't want to ruin it for you, so you'll have to watch it yourself to find out. The second disk that was a documentary about the making of Spiderman was great too. I couldn't believe that Doc Ock was a Brit! He's very different in the documentary than he is in the movie. It was fun seeing all the blue screen stuff too.

I know mine is not a popular opinion, but I do not understand why Spider-man 2 is praised as being one of, if not the best comic book movie ever made. Spider-man 2's plot is profoundly flawed. The worst of these flaws is the "spider-man no more" premise borrowed from the comics. I found the idea that Peter's mysterious loss of his power was a physical manifestation of his psychologically desire and that his power's could be completely nullified by his will alone to be "very thin" (To quote Riggs from Lethal Weapon). It would have been more meaningful (and believable) if Peter simply made a conscience decision to be spider-man no more with powers intact.
Another flaw is the movie version of Doc Ock. I think it is sad the writers decided to use the tired and overused idea of "evil A.I.," reducing Doc Ock to a victim technology, instead of a truly menacing villain like Willem Defoe's Green Goblin. Alfred Molina is a gifted actor who deserved better. It would have been better to have Doc Ock driven into madness by the death of his wife and swear vengeance on Spider-man, who he blames for her death. Doc Ock could then regain his sanity by coming to terms with his role in his wife's death.
The last flaw I will discuss here is the fact that Spider-man appears unmasked in the presence of every major character in the movie, not to mention half the city of New York (unconvincingly portrayed by the city of Chicago). The reactions of the New Yorkers who filled the train car as they peer on an unmasked Spider-man are more unbelievable than a teenage boy being bitten by a genetically altered spider and receiving super powers from it.
Thankfully, it is clear that the actors have comfortably grown into their roles for the sophomore film. Additionally, the visual FX in this film have trumped its predecessor. Lastly, the film does a decent job of continuing the character relationships of the previous film.

This was pretty good for a sequel but a little more violent than # 1. I wouldn't recommend it for children not use to violence. The story line was okay but just not enough depth to make it better than the first one.
