CAGiversary!
Im tired. Its 3 a.m.

To sum it up:

Holy freakin shit that was awesome!

Id elaborate more, but im about to pass out from lack of sleep.

Discuss :)

....

...

really, it is THAT good.
 
I've heard nothing but good things about this movie. I'm going to go see it after work today. Would have watched it at 12:00AM if any theaters were playing it around me.
 
Ok, im (half) awake now.

Doc Ock was one of the most incredible "movie monsters" i have ever seen. Thinking back to Ray Harryhausin and how far movie special effects has gone, its simply amazing. They made 4 extra appendages on a human have more charisma than most actors out there today.

You really feel sorry for Parker in this film. Like, "Poor Bastard" kind of sorry. He truely runs the gauntlet in this one, and anyone with a crappy past/present will feel for the dude.

Kirsten Dunst is now officially a hottie. DAMN.

Aunt may starts off "eh", but by the end of the film has sunk into her role.

Theres too much in that movie that will either come as a surprise to you, or will be completely new to you. One thing for the non-comic book guys...Parkers teacher Conners, the one missing an arm, is the future Lizard. With him being shown early, as well as what happens at the end...well, there's a reason why there making 6 films.

To sum it up:Wow. Holy Shit. Incredible. I want spidey powers. I want octo arms. Thank god, there's no more Macy Gray.
 
How violent is the movie, and is the language bad at all? My daughter, who's almost 5, wants to see this movie really, really bad, but I told her I was going to go see it first to see if it's too scary for her.

I think she saw some parts of the first movie, but I thought the Green Goblin's outfit would scare her, but it didn't.

But would you think it's tame enough for a 5 year old?
 
It depends on you prospecive of violence Grave.. If she saw the first one than i guess it would be fine for her to see this one. I dont think its any more violent than the last one.


And Wshakspear- i pretty much agree with your review except in not digging Kirsten Dunst. She's allright, but she always looks weird imo. But overall a great movie. Im tossed as to which movie i liked better this one or the first one.
 
Well, people fighting in a movie is one thing, but I don't want her to see blood and people dying and that sort of stuff.

And I don't want her to hear a bunch of cursing, but I doubt it would have a lot of bad language.

Oh yeah, Kirsten looks amazingly like Skeletor to me.

I have to hold off until next Monday to see this movie which, quite frankly, sucks. I can't wait, though - I thought they did an amazing job with the first.

No cursing. There is blood i think. Spiderman gets busted up and his costume is torn and a little bloody like the first movie. Lots of screaming woman in the movie. Like i said everyone has a different opinion for their children. I wont let my 7 year old see it. IMO its rated pg-13 for a reason and i dont want him seeing all that violence before he needs to. But as a parent its your call.

Yeah, I'm thinking she's going to have to sit this one out. Knowing her, she'd probably get pretty scared when Spidey gets his ass kicked. I dunno what it is, but that girl loves Spiderman and SpiderGirl. As a matter of fact, she was SpiderGirl for Halloween last year.
 
They sey damn, hell...and thats about it for swearing.

Doc ock is interesting though. He's shown in such a nice light at first, that you actually care about him and would probably be less frightenede of him overall...Then his tentacles kill about 6 docters/nurses within about a minute. Violence wise there's nothing too graphic, but a lot of pain is implied.
When i saw this, i saw MANY 4-10 year olds watching the film, and evrey single one of them came out smiling. They might have been a bit scared of doc ock...but thats why he's the villian :)
 
I also didn't get out until around 3, loved every second of it. The Harry/Peter moment in the party had me cracking up. I did especially like how they played up Doc Oc as a regular normal human being first with dreams, he was actually an ok guy, then he gets the arms and everything goes to hell. Speaking of which Peter had one rough week .

Good, please don't put any spoilers in here. If you need to ask, make another thread and state spoilers in the topic.
 
[quote name='legion_stxds']I am curious about somethings though... only thing is I don't want to spoil anything.[/quote]

ask the question, and if its answerable without ruining anything, i'll answer. other wise i can do a hidden text kind of thing
 
Eh. I saw the midnight show too, and I wasn't really looking forward to it all that much.

I'll admit, the first half maybe even 2/3 of the movie were damn good, but I just totally lost interest towards the end. I won't spoil anything but I just thought the end was a really dumb way to set up the next villain. I'm looking forward to Spiderman 3 even less than this one.

Oh, and Kirsten Dunst is a saggy-boobed monkey face. There I said it.
 
[quote name='Ericnmel99']if your wondering if spiderman dies...the answer is yes.....oops[/quote]

I know that was probably a joke, but for some strange reason, if this actually happens in the movie, I will hunt you down and kill you! :D

Honestly, when someone tells me the end to a movie, I will seriously not watch it. I don't know what it is, but I honestly get so much rage from this. I know I have problems, but that is one of my pet peeves. I would rather someone kick me in the balls than tell me the end to a movie that I really want to see.
 
Watch it... it's worth it... I thought that this spiderman was better than the first. There will be a third one though.
 
They way they handled Doc Ock was a mixed bag. Everything rocked with the way he was done - but the entire thing with "the arms" was absolute garbage and ruined what they had accomplished. Hollywood has a way of screwing up the simplist of things.

Good movie overall, but a couple of little things helped hurt the experience a lot.

Also, I don't want to see Goblin yet - I want to see Venom (astronaut - foreshadow?).
 
Venom by far would be my next choice in villain (simply because he is one of the best villains in the entire Marvel universe). One thing about comic book licensed movies is that they:

1) Can not condense an entire series into a two hour movie (I wish they could though).
2) They are in it for the money (they take the general idea and make it more general).
3) Us Fanboys have really high expectations.

Now I probally missed some other good points too so join in.
 
LIGHT SPOILERS --


Well, the problem with Doc Ock is that they COMPLETELY IGNORED a perfectly legit reason for him to become the villain - and instead injected a craptacular excuse. It really brought the film down a couple notches for me - in addition, it continued a disturbing trend that began with the first film (and if Venom or Goblin are used in the next film, it will continue).

END.

What disturbing trend?
 
MINOR SPOILER......





The one thing i didnt like and its been done with past hero movies (daredevil especially) is that i felt spiderman showed too many people who he really is. i didnt like when batman showed catwoman who he was, nor did i like when daredevil let half the world know who he really was either. It just take something away from the secret/hero deal for me.

Doc Ock doesn't talk to himself. His tentacles -aren't- self aware. Him talking to them was ridiculous - and guess what? They'll be forced to use that "technique" again with Venom and Goblin, and so on and so on.
 
There are numerous issues in many comics where identities are leaked either by the hero, villains, or a third party. I personally don't have a problem with identities being leaked... everyone knows the real names of the fantastic four... and where they live... crap it's the big building with the giant 4 on top. LOL
 
I saw it this morning, first showing of the day. It only cost 4 bucks to see this great movie. I was so happy with the whole thing. The only thing I didn't like was the leader for the next movie. I won't say, but I don't want him in the next movie! And they are contracted to make 3 movies with Tobey and Kirsten, not 6. And Kirsten is a total hottie. I don't care what you say, shes hot.
 
[quote name='maxflight']Vin Diesel would be a good fit for Venom whenever they make that movie.[/quote]

You don't know how pissed I would be if that were true. I HATE Vin Diesel.
 
[quote name='maxflight']Vin Diesel would be a good fit for Venom whenever they make that movie.[/quote]

Yeah, and Arnold was a good fit as Mr. Freeze.
 
I've already seen it 2x. Last night and first show this morning and DAMN!! I didn't think they could top the last one but they did. Raimi is great as a director. The story was played out much better, there were more classic comic references and the acting was much more fleshed out. Might go see it again......
 
[quote name='Sartori']Vin Diesel would be a terrible choice for Eddie Brock.[/quote]

The kevin nash would be a good choice for venom, he played the russian in the new punisher movie and looks a bit like eddy brock!.

I didn't know that was kevin nash... wow.
 
[quote name='Sartori']Go get em' Tiger.[/quote]

I would have lost it if she said "Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot!". I kept thinking she would but nope......
 
I saw the movie and it rocks. I enjoyed the first movie a ton and had high expectations of this one, and it came through. All the hype the movie is getting is well deserved. This is truly a must see movie. I'm tempted to go back up there and see it again tonight.

The only bummer is having to wait three years or so for the next one.
 
Ok fuck school, I'm leaving class and going to watch this movie tonight. Can anyone comapair the movie doc ock to the comic doc ock. I read the comics around the late 90's and I like the white suit martini drinking doc ock and not the 80's green tights and goggles doc ock. I liked it how in the comic books he would just stand with his arms crosses and let his tenticles do all the work.
 
On an off-topic note I'm just glad that the waiting is almost over for the next Star Wars movie. Or at least half of it. :|

But yeah, I'm gonna go see this movie saturday unfortunately I have to wait that long but I can't wait, i've heard that the plot was

((minor spoilers i suppose))

Spidey having an identity crisis and of course the new bad guy, anything else included in the story like something that actually HAPPENS? Just basic, basic parts of the plot and please no spoilers, I still want to see this and don't want it ruined, thanks.
 
Really.. May 2007? Jesus. Why three years and not, say, two?


And Deadzone - not really.. It's the basic thing Spiderman would go through hinted at by the first film through Jameson.

Go here for the origins by marvel themselves (look under d for doc ock) or here for a fans site. The movie embelished a bit... damn hollywood... hehe
