Took one of my sons and a nephew to see Spiderman 2 yesterday. I liked it better than the first one.

Although I would like to hear a little more of Spidey's smack talk during the fight scenes. I seem to remember in the comics that he did that a lot.

Glad you liked it! I liked this better than the first one, too. I didn't miss the Spidey-chatter, though... what little of it there was in the movies wound up sounding forced, to me. I think it's one of those things that reads ok, but doesn't translate well to film.

Yeah, Spidey's wisecracks are one of the best part of the comics, I wish they'd have more of that in the movies, too, though I can see how it'd be hard to depict in real-time. The one thing he said in this movie that I caught was when Doc Ock threw the cash-bag at him and as Spidey tossed it and caught it back he yelled, "Here's your change!" :)

Here's a classic Spidey smack talk I was reading recently, from issue #19:

Crook #1: It's--it's Spider-Man!
Crook #2: But we thought he was out of action!
Crook #3: Jameson's newspaper has been saying he's a phony--a coward!
Spider-Man: You believe it, boys! [Knocks three of them out with one move] But just imagine what I could do if I *wasn't* a phony coward!

But they did keep the "Woo-hoo!" as he swings down the avenues and over people's heads ... love those expressions of sheer pleasure!
