After going to the A's game on Tuesday night, I took a detour on the way home to catch the midnight showing of Spiderman 2. While watching the opening credits, I saw the name of the screenplay writer: Michael Chabon. It appears that since computer effects don't cost as much as they did 3 years ago, they can splurge on story and content once again.
Spiderman 1 was a decent movie for considering it was a blockbuster (blockbusters usually meaning great effects, mediocre story), but Spiderman 2 far surpassed its predecessor. Great story, comical moments, moments of indecision, and touching at points which make Spiderman appear more human than superhuman. These are areas not normally covered in other superhero movies (except maybe the scene where the cat licks Wolverine's claw in X2).
Bottom line: go see it. It will be well worth your time.
