Okay, Tuesday June 29th there is a midnight show, who's crazy enough to come with me?

I want to do the Rosemount theatre, as it won't have too many crazy kids (I hope)...

Pros:

Doc Ock effects were incredible.
Good story
Great action sequences

Cons:

Some cheesy dialogue
Some cheesy unneccessary parts
Some of the CGI was fuzzy and cartoonish...less than perfect when you're expecting perfection.

I know they had to rush this movie to hit the release date, and they said that the CGI effects were going to take a hit. Chad said it best when he said that we've come to expect so much from CGI that you really pick out the less than perfect parts.

You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it.

Anyway, that didn't take away from the fact that the movie was really good...

4.25 out of 5

I'm sleepy... [sleep] [sleep] [sleep]

I was just listening to a review on radio (talk show host that has not seen it yet) - he stated that it's so good that you wont' even notice the effects they are so perfect. I guess that's the buzz that's surrounding the movie. Interesting that you guys said the exact opposite.

Have you ever seen the movie "Driven"? Now there are some obvious digital effects.

Even though some of the CGI was rushed it really was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. And it does exceede the first one.

5/5

Worth the money which is almost never the case nowadays.

I really liked it too, but pretty much agree with Boon's review. There was some REALLY cheezy dialogue and some plain silly parts in the movie. They were so rediculous and over the top at times that you just had to laugh, like when spiderman was crowdsurfing through a train. [Roll Eyes]

Also, i though the acting by the guy who plays Peter's friend (forget his character name, but hes the guy that will be the hobgoblin) was a little exaggerated and fakey.

Even so, the story and incredible action scenes made up for it. The fight on top of the train was unbelievible, and i thoght the CGI in that part was very well done.

4/5

Good movie. I liked it more then the first. I will say this about the effects - there were some really good ones... But there were also some really bad ones too.

4.5/5
