Was more funny than the first time I watched it. I didn't remember 90% of the storyline. I want the soundtrack to it, it's all those little synth songs from little keyboards. I like your sleeves.

So it came out more sloppy than usual. Writing the above comments on Win98 laptop, most of my comments window as blocked over by the menu — and I couldn’t read most of what I was writing.

You'll probably get a lot of agreement on it. But I didn't think it was any better than the first one, which I didn't think was very interesting or entertaining. This one took forever to get off the ground. Spider-Man's relationship with "MJ," his inner conflict -- all that stuff -- put me to sleep. Because in the end, <i>it just doesn't matter</i>. I felt nothing for the characters, especially MJ. The acting, especially MJ's scenes, seemed like something out of a soap opera TV show. As for the action -- i.e. the special effects, because there is no action that isn't special effects in this movie -- the big fight on the train was kinda fun to watch. But by the time I got to the end, I felt like I was watching cool special effects, not people. And for this reason, I found the action sequences -- my main reason for seeing this movie -- to be somewhat less than astounding. And for so much of the movie there wasn't any action, and I was so bored, so uninvolved with the story. It wasn't a terrible movie, but like all the Harry Potter special effects dependent movies, I found it kind of soulless. To really enjoy a movie, even a comic book action movie, I have to care at least a little bit about what's going on, and I didn't. I enjoyed the opening credits the most.
