Looks like a pretty good time. I like these actors for the parts. Can't possibly be worse than the last Spider-Man movie...

I find it interesting how the public opinion about Raimi's first two Spider-Man movies has turned in the last five years from good to bad.

I still love the second one. Doc Ock was great, I liked the way the characters developed, and I like how it kinda' went against the grain and by the end of it seemingly EVERYONE knew who Spider-Man was. The first one was fun but never a favorite comic book movie of mine.

I still think the second one is good, but I've thought the first one was largely crappy since the day it came out. If public opinion has changed, it's possibly because the third one was so bad that it retroactively killed the other two for people.

I'm in the minority. I liked the 1st, but didn't like the casting, dislike the second one quite a bit, and thought the 3rd was at least sort of fun.
I don't like anything about Doc Ock in the 2nd; the kind of re-casting him as a tragic Mr. Freeze style figure, his character design, or the out of place horror movie scene with the tentacles killing the doctors. People complain about the dancing scene being tonally out of sync with the movie, but that scene really offends me as being totally out of place.
I don't get why the nerd world loves Raimi as much as they do.

The tentacles murdering those doctors in the second one is the one scene in all three that I really, really like as it's Sam Raimi clearly having a ton of fun. Off the top of my head, that's the one example in all three movies that I can think of that is clearly Sam Raimi. That, and maybe the gag in 2 with Scott Spiegel in it.
The first one I can't watch. I don't like it at all. The second one I would say is "fine", but I've never seen what other people did in it. The third I've seen once, and it's hilarious, but not enough for me to watch over and over again.

Yeah, there are tons of lame shit in part 2 that almost hints at the lame masterpiece that is part 3. It kind of overshadowed the good parts of the whole trilogy.

Which is, I guess, my problem with it. It is totally just shoe-horned in, tone-wise. "Here's me, having fun doing horror-slapstick, because that's my thing!" It isn't Spider-Man's thing, Doc Ock's thing, or anything like any other moment in the movie. But I'm in the nerd-minority; I don't like Raimi's "three stooges, but with knives and such" signature style. |

You say it like there's dancing in only one scene. If only... |

Someone on Ain't It Cool correctly identified this as one of the goombas from SUPER MARIO BROS.

Heh, I saw that. I also saw that someone had the same thought as me that it looks like the Creature from CREATURE. He must've been that other person who saw that movie besides me...

I keep forgetting this movie is even coming out this summer. They showed a trailer for it last night and I was like "Oh, right."

The trailer in 3D was impressive, but I don't look forward to any "Peter's parents" stuff. Always hated that stuff in the books.
