Spider-Man 2: the PowerPoint review.

You'll probably like Spider-Man 2
* Most people seem to like it a lot
* You saw it months ago and liked it yourself

But I just saw it for the first time tonight
* Enh.
* Absurd romantic drama
* Not very much Spider-Man in it
* Might like it more after some rumination, granted

Additional insults
* Way over-the-top horror-movie bit in the hospital
* Scene that serves no purpose except as a teaser for Spider-Man 3
** Couldn't they have had the dignity to put it after the credits?
** Does this mean that Doc Connors won't become The Lizard like he's supposed to?
*** I mean, they gave him the one arm and everything
*** Dammit

Additional insults (cont'd)
* Wow, Bruce Campbell has gotten heavy
* Whoppers were nasty
** Two of them were chewy
** I hope that they're not insect egg sacs or something

* mine are not
* enterainment value was limited

Disbelief, suspension of
* some drama elements very contrived
* many pull one out of movie experience

But...
* it was still worth going
* maybe I will rent the next one
