There is more of everything in this film, and while more is not necessarily better, they do MAKE it better. The dramatic moments are more touching, action more pulse-pounding, the visual effects are more realistic, and comedy much more funny (Spider-Man's conversation with the guy in the elevator will have you howling).

Characters are all spot-on, performances are solid, and the neat little nods and references here and there (the Asian woman with a violin singing the classic Spidey theme off key is grating, yet somehow fitting) give a little something extra for the comic book nerds to appreciate.

My only complaint: Spider-Man 3 is likely going to be lackluster in comparison. They've REALLY outdone themselves!
