In the first one, he was just in the crowd at the big festival thing.
In the second, he pulled a couple people back, and said "Look out!" when some pieces of building were falling down. |

Umm, you really shouldn't base what you see on one review. Spider-Man 2 has gotten PHENOMINAL reviews from all the critics, and pretty much everyone who has seen it. The general consensus is that it blows away the first one. Now, I personally don't think it was that much better, but I'd seriously question your thought process if you decide not to see it based on what you said.  |
LOL, no kidding. Three good sources for panoramic reviews, in my opinion, are Rotten Tomatoes (Tomatometer of the original: 89%, Tomatometer of the sequel: 95%), Movies.com (average score of the original: 3.88/5, average score of the sequel: 4.5/5), and Yahoo! Movies (critics' score of the original: B+, critics' score of the sequel: A-).
Methinks the movie looks amazing. I would never base seeing a movie off one or two reviewers, but I might if the general consensus of reviewers was positive or negative. In this case, it's overwhelmingly positive, and I'm highly excited to see the movie. |

I saw it saturday. In my opinion it was an excellent film. For no explicable reason, it left me wishing that the Matrix had ended better. The graphics in SM2 just weren't good enough for me personally. And some of the decisions MJ made ticked me off... as well as some of the decisions Peter had to make. I'm just rooting out some of my annoyances from an outstanding film though.
See it... you'll want to veiw it in theaters.
Does anybody know how much it made this opening weekend? |

| Upwards of 60 or so million in the first few days, I believe. I DO know that it made around 30 million after one day of being released. |

Totaly. The surround-sound alone is reason enough. |

My words of praise for the film, which I have not seen: Well, at least it knocked Fahrenheit 9/11 from the #1 spot!
The Wall Street Journal's "Best of the Web" feature even proffers a compelling argument that this movie displaces F9/11 as the most-watched documentary currently in theaters:
| James Taranto, WSJ's Best of the Web, July 2, 2004 wrote: |
Enron Journalism
In his New York Times column today, former Enron adviser Paul Krugman cheers "Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore's new "documentary." He scoffs at "the nervous liberals rushing to disassociate themselves from Michael Moore" and at "tut-tutting by pundits" who object that the movie "uses association and innuendo to create false impressions."
Yet Krugman himself acknowledges that "it would be a better movie if it didn't promote a few unproven conspiracy theories," that "Mr. Moore may not be considered respectable," that "viewers may come away from Mr. Moore's movie believing some things that probably aren't true," and that " 'Fahrenheit 9/11' is a tendentious, flawed movie."
No matter. Despite all this, Krugman maintains that the film "performs an essential service," to wit, "it tells essential truths" about the Bush administration. No doubt Krugman's erstwhile bosses at Enron thought they were telling "essential truths" when they cooked the books.
What does it tell us about the New York Times that it provides a forum for a former Enron adviser to endorse Enron-style journalism?
'Spider' Bites Moore
Michael Moore's record certainly didn't last long. The Associated Press reports that the new documentary "Spider-Man 2" took in $40.5 million in its first day, far more than the $24.1 million "Fahrenheit 9/11" earned in an entire week.
OK, we know some will dispute our characterization of "Spider-Man 2" as a documentary. But hey, it tells essential truths, doesn't it? |
