It was a *good movie*. There were some pretty intense moments, and I can see no need for them to make a 3-D version, as the 2-D was dizzying enough in places. There was a lot of fast-paced action in this one!

The formation of the villain in this one is similar to watching the Borg in Star Trek: The Next Generation get their implants. It's done in a similar way, and it's just as creepy to watch.

The special effects rocked. And, as always, Tobey McGuire looked really good in that spandex! (I think his legs have beefed up quite a bit since the first one, though.)

They've done a really good job of setting up a springboard for a Spidey 3, too. We'll see what happens.

There are cameos by two former WB television stars: Ted Raimi ("Joxer" on Xena and Hercules), Bruce Campbell ("Autolycus" on Xena and Hercules), as well as an appearance by one of my favorite comedic movie actors, Bill Nunn ("Bradley, physical therapist" in Regarding Henry and "Lt. Eddie Souther" in Sister Act).

I highly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it. If you haven't seen the first one, yet, it will help you understand this one to see that first. It's not necessary, but it will help.
