I've already decided I love this movie without even seeing it, other than the trailers. Does anyone else feel so irrationally in love with something they know nothing of?

I guess I feel this way when I go to the mall and see lots of pretty girls.

Anyway, I'm gonna see the movie tonight. I'll posts my oh-so-unnecessary opinions on it when I get home, not that you needed my praise before you decided to go see it. (which I assume you already have done)

Perhaps you are in love with the impossibly sexy Kirsten Dunst?

Okay, just saw the movie.

The audience was drunk and way into it.

Kirsten Dunst was actually the biggest disappointment of the whole movie. She needs to take cocaine before she does her scenes, or something.

Otherwise, it was great. Amazing actions sequences, great story, etc. etc. There was a few cheesy moments, but thats forgiveable in exchange for a real, unironic, true-hearted movie like Spider-man 2. I love the lack of irony, or any sort of attempt to dissect or deconstruct the plot or it's meaning.

There was a few parts that dragged on a little around the middle and the end, but those moments were few and the amazing action scenes more than made up for it. Watch for the train fight, it's really cool.

Kirsten Dunst was hot in Jumanji

Yeah, I saw it. I thought it stunk. But at least I figured out why. See, I hated the first one as well, but for comparison, I loved Riddik (or however you spell it). But Spiderman was dumbed down so that any 10-year-old could easily follow what was going on. In other words, characters repeated lines every five minutes just to make sure you knew that they meant it the first dozen times they said it, and you really have only a couple themes which are beaten slowly and painfully to death.

As for the whole I-love-her-but-I-don't-love-her-but-I-love-her x50... bleh.

And the writer and director were on crack.

That said, I don't regret having seen it. I would just never sit through it again.

Ah. That's my most negative review since The Sweet Hereafter. It feels kinda good.

Go see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Now THAT'S a movie.

I saw the movie opening night, and I enjoyed it more than the first Spiderman. I loved how in the intro, they showed comic book-style scenes from the first movie that refreshes everyone on what happened. The action scenes in the movie were great, and Peter Parker was an interesting character overall. He seems more human than a lot of other superheroes since he tries hard to maintain a personal life while fighting crime as Spiderman. It's much easier to relate to him than other superheroes like Superman or Batman. Tobey Maguire did a great job in this, just like the first one.

Kirsten Dunst had a mediocre performance overall, but since she's hot it doesn't matter. ;)

The guy who played Doctor Octavius/Octopus was very fitting for the role, and made Octavius into a believable character. They explained everything from why he had to have those tentacles to how he went crazy when the inhibitor chip broke. He seemed much more fearsome than the Green Goblin. Speaking of which, I hope that the next movie doesn't concentrate solely on the next Green Goblin(Harry)...

I'm guessing it will be the Green Goblin with the Lizard, because his teacher, Dr. Connors eventually turns into the Lizard in the comic books, and since Sam Raimi is signed on to direct three movies, I don't see any other reason he'd have introduced the character.

Yeah, I think that Spidey 3 will be the first dual-villain Raimi Superhero film.

Also, I'm proud that Soqui was the one that spotted Stan Lee for who he was. I didn't notice until she said "...wasn't that Stan Lee?" and it knocked into me... cut I was too busy enjoying the scene.

The only thing that tweaked my nipple in this film was that *water* would put out a chain fusion reaction. I mean, there's a ton of stuff just wrong about the physics of it all, but I can wave the creation of the mini-sun as comic-book physics. However... unless I'm off my solar rocker, wouldn't the best way to shut down a chain fusion reaction be to shove an asston of Iron-or-heavier elements into it? Stars die when there's more Iron than lighter things, no?
