Spidey 2 was bittersweet. Spiderman had a new and incredible nemesis in Doc Oc, and at the same time he was going through an internal struggle of whether or not to remain a super hero. On the one hand there was a normal life as Peter Parker: no crime fighting, and complete with Mary Jane. On the other hand there was the life of Spiderman: never a dull moment, the weight of the world on his shoulders, and Mary Jane would be out of the picture. The story made for a great movie, and there were some fantastic scenes, but... I got sick of the Peter Parker/Mary Jane show. I'm not all that impressed with Kirsten Dunst to begin with, then she just became down right annoying as Mary Jane.

I am a guy. When I sit down to watch an action film, I want lots of action, minimal dialogue, and zero sap. The sap factor was large and in charge in Spiderman 2... the only significant flaw in my eyes (well that and when he saved his Auntie from Doc Oc). The potential was there for this movie to soar above and even beyond its predecessor, but it was bogged down by PP and MJ. It was a decent movie, one worth watching again, just not great.
