Excellent DVD! It definitely kept me engrossed with the visualizations and interesting storyline. I am ready for the next movie. Received in perfect condition, and quick and easy transaction.

While Spidey 2 is a terrific film, it is overshadowed by the excitement and anticipation that came with the first film. It does manage to live up to the hype unlike so many other superhero sequels. The Good - everyone is back and the plot, action and acting are first rate, The Bad - fans of the comic may still be disappointed in a few of the changes from the original comic book, The Ugly - none to speak of.

I know how that may sound, but the first one, in comparison, seems rushed. I know it was highly-anticipated, (duh, it's Spiderman!) but they still could've taken their time.
I viewed this movie about as much as I saw the first I think. It just seems like they slowed down during production and the thought process during, was much broader, albeit more violent and even darker.
At first I didn't like this much, but I watched it the 3rd and 4th time through and I was throughly impressed. One wasn't this good and I only hope that Three will be as great (date is 4/4/08 and I'm still on my way to watch it).
Mary Jane is his love interest again, and she's married. However, she breaks up with Harold and goes back to Peter again. They love each other and unlike one, he actually makes time for her this time.
The action was great and the villain was a methodical genius. I liked the fight at the bank where money bags were thrown all over and Aunt Mae almost got crushed by that desk. That was entertaining.

Overall, the 2.1 Edition of Sam Rami's Spider-Man 2 is presumably better than the original cut, but I, like others who had seen the original cut, was a little bit iffy on some of the replacement scenes, namely the scene in the pizza place, especially how it ended this time around. But I felt the same way about the extended edition of Ghost Rider. At least at first. Now I've come to appreciate the extended edition of that film as the better cut. And I'm sure in time that the 2.1 edition of what is considered the greatest superhero film of all time will "grow" on me as well. I wonder if I'll feel the same way about the Director's Cut of Daredevil. I think it's funny how the 1.5 edition of X-Men (which is pretty much the Definitive Edition)didn't have any deleted scenes put back into the film. My major complaint about this new edition is the lack of the original special features, something of which I think makes the invention of the DVD so great, aside from beautiful picture quality.

I liked Spiderman 2 even better than Spiderman 1. There were some scenes where he ran around with his suit but not his mask that added some interesting twists. I really liked the ending, but I don't want to ruin it for you, so you'll have to watch it yourself to find out. The second disk that was a documentary about the making of Spiderman was great too. I couldn't believe that Doc Ock was a Brit! He's very different in the documentary than he is in the movie. It was fun seeing all the blue screen stuff too.
