CBright7831 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2004 Both Otto Octavius and Norman Osbourne are guilty of the same crime in literary terms: a desire to be GOD. The symbols are all there: Octavius' power source is a miniature sun, Osbourne's comment on improving on human potential, and for their arrogance they are turned into demonic totems: a many-armed beast, and a pointy-eared, sharp-toothed goblin. In their desire to be Gods, Otto and Norman are turned into Devils. I like that. Anyway, Spider-man 2 is in stores tommorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 I might buy it, but I am considering waiting since I have only $20 and I'm just now starting to receive the 12 or so DVDs I got from Deep Discount. I loved both Spider-Man movies, though. I own the 1st on DVD already and I saw the second one twice- once in the theater and once on a train a few weeks ago. What kind of deals do they have this week for SM2 and what special features are there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2004 Not only is it good the second time around, it's good the third and fourth times around, too. Both movies are, because they're good stories that get you invested in the characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CBright7831 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 My favorite part would have to be when Harry discovers the Green Goblin's secret lair. That scene had me on the edge of the seat in the theater. I wasn't expecting it to happen, much less Willem Dafoe making a surprise cameo. BTW is it safe to get rid of the spoiler things now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Big_Jay101 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 My favorite scene has to be the train scene. I thought it was great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 I saw it twice- once in the theater without my contacts and while I was kind of fucked up after taking Vicodin for my back, and once on the train to California while drinking. The movie seemed great, but I need to see it while sober. I rented the movie last night from Hollywood video. I'll be watching Spider-Man 1 (one of my favorite movies ever) and 2 back to back sometime tonight on the fancy big screen TV. That should be a fun time.

Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2004 My favorite part is when Spider-Man and Doc Ock are fighting on the side of the building and they both fall off and while they're falling, they're STILL fighting! Kinda like that Simpsons episode where Homer gets into a fight with that one guy who was Bart's adoptive father and they fell off the cliff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2004 Glad its getting the critical love. I love this film. It feels like a real story, emotionally complete, real big things are happening to these characters. As far as I'm concerned it deserves a best pic nom, but alas my geek love will not be indulged by the academy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
