If it's as boring as the first one I'll give it a miss.

I'll probably wait until it's on tv (and then wonder why I bothered)

Is $$ good or bad?

Smitty 06-30-2004 04:11 AM

Everything I wanted to see was in it. All the loose ends from the first movie are tied up. All in all, it was a great movie. Now it being the best superhero movie might be a stretch, but it is on par with some of the good flicks that came out in the past years like X2 and Hellboy.

Sephiroth 06-30-2004 07:45 AM

I think part 2 is great...going to see it on friday.

But which villian is going to be next(Spiderman 3)...if you would follow the real Spiderman Story(comic books), cause i cant remember :-\

I thought it's going to be Harry as the new Green Goblin, but they'll probably throw another villain into the mix.

Can't wait to see it. Loved the first movie.

Dark-Slicer Diago 06-30-2004 08:41 PM

this movie was awsome, with surpising twists

BlackRavyyn 06-30-2004 09:34 PM

<font color=lightgreen>Got my tickets in my hand and I'm seeing it tomorrow afternoon :love:

I've heard it's better than the first one and after watching that on Monday night (third time) - it's going to kick so much ass over the other movies this summer. Although, Keira Knightley is in King Arthur :drool:

DU, don't worry mate - it'll be worth your monthly paycheque...:lol:</font>

:shifty:

Gonzo 06-30-2004 10:49 PM

Well, they are playing some special midnight showings at this one mall so I saw it Tuesday night. Good flick, nicely ties up loose ends like aforementioned and continues the story well. The ending could have been a little less drawn out but perhaps that would be because I had to piss like a race horse.

Innovator 07-01-2004 12:44 AM

amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing movie, done well.

Can't wait for the third one now, gonna be badass

Real Deal 07-01-2004 12:56 AM

It was alright.

Kapoutman 07-01-2004 01:05 AM

I'll try to see it soon.

DaveWadding 07-01-2004 02:06 AM

It was good. Not the best movie I've ever seen or anything. But I was satisfied.

DS 07-01-2004 02:19 AM

Kind of disappointed in next villian. Just wish it was someone else. Good movie though.

They'll probably make it a tandem.

Although they really should have built the Hobgoblin thing up more.

blueskies 07-01-2004 05:39 AM

Watched it Tuesday for the Midnight Show.
Must say that I loved it, and can't wait for it to come out on DVDs in about 5-6 months. (If they were smart, they'd have it out in December for the Christmas season)

As for who the villains are going to be for Spider-man 3..
I've heard that it was going to be.. Hob Goblin & Lizard.

Last Spidey came out May 3rd, we had DVD on Nov. 1...

They will PROBABLY put it out faster and we'll have it by Thanksgiving or so, in my estimation.

Gonzo 07-01-2004 01:45 PM

They will most likely have it out by December, I work in a video store and my bet would be by then at the latest.

YOUR Hero 07-01-2004 02:58 PM

Very well done, I liked it's development, it's pace . I like how they aren't rushing things. Good story telling going on.

'Spider-Man 2' Amazes on Opening Day
by Brandon Gray
July 1, 2004

HOLLYWOOD (Box Office Mojo) – Spider-Man 2 made no sacrifice in its Wednesday bow, capturing a stunning $40.5 million.

The $200 million plus Marvel Comics adaptation snared the biggest opening day ever, besting the original Spider-Man's $39.4 million -- a record that had stood since that picture's May 3, 2002 debut. It ultimately amassed $403.7 million by the close of its domestic run, the fifth highest grossing picture of all time.

Spider-Man 2 also scored the top Wednesday ever, soaring past The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King's $34.5 million. Like that movie and many other fan-driven blockbusters, Spider-Man 2 began at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, generating around $5 million from those showings alone.

The sequel's debut marks the best of 2004, eclipsing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban's $38.3 million. Shrek 2 still holds the overall single day record with $44.8 million on its first Saturday.

Sony unmasked Spider-Man 2 at 4,152 theaters, the second widest release of all time behind Shrek 2's 4,163. The launch eclipses the 3,615 debut of the first movie and casts a web across roughly 70% of the nation's theaters.

When Sony zeroed in on Independence Day week, they were, in effect, not trying to top the $114.8 million opening weekend record of the first Spider-Man. The frame's previous highs were 2002's Men in Black II with $52.1 million, or, taking ticket price inflation into account, Independence Day with an adjusted $70 million. Whenever July 4 lands on a weekend, as it does this year, it tends to put a dent in the weekend gross. May is the month for a movie gunning for weekend honors.

What the holiday allows is potent business spread out to weekdays, not just Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The average Wednesday debut can rack up 40% or more of its five-day opening from Wednesday and Thursday alone. With that in mind, Spider-Man 2 could likely top The Matrix Reloaded's $144.4 million five-day, $151.9 million six-day and $158.2 million opening week records -- without the severe front-loadedness that movie suffered.

Meanwhile, Fahrenheit 9/11 added 316 theaters (a 36% boost) for a total of 1,184, but still saw business dip in the face of Spider-Man 2. The Michael Moore op-ed documentary was down 10% to an estimated $3.4 million on Wednesday, lifting its tally to $35.7 million. Picture invades another 541 theaters on Friday for a total of 1,725.
