Spider-Man 2 is one of my favorite superhero movies, the one that belatedly justifies the first film. The first Spider-Man I've always found to be vastly overrated. I would agree that this film is easily an improvement over that one, and I am sort of at a loss to understand why so many people wanted to dismiss it even prior to it coming out. As much as I love SM2, can you really imagine a fourth movie with Tobey McGuire and that mega-dopey smile of his? I sure couldn't.
