Also, for those of us who know about the Staceys, did that final scene with the dish falling off the building bring about any kind of "OOH! I know what happens next" moment?

I did go into it accepting the things that got on my goat from the first film and enjoyed it. That moment with the train is still one of the best scenes from a comic book movie. My biggest frustration with Raimi's first film was using one of my favourite story arcs from the comic and butchering it to death. Still it'll be interesting to see if the new film fixes it for me. (and as much as I like Emma Stone, I really hope they stay true to Gwen Stacy's demise in a sequel). Ok, maybe completely and utterly wrong is a bit strong and shouldn’t apply to Spider-Man 2.

Sure, Spider-Man 3 was a train wreck and the original film has it's goofier moments. But Spider-Man 2 still holds up fantastically well in my eyes - one of the best comic book movies ever made.

As for the film, it looks good. i like the fact we've got mechanical web shooters, and that they're addressing Gwen Stacy and George Stacy properly. I really wasn't keen on Raimi's films, so for me this is a chance to get it right, rather than completely and utterly wrong!

It happens pretty often, and it's fun to see new takes on the characters. I don't mind the tone from what I've seen.The best Spidey stories were always kind of dark, and especially in the Ultimate stories, which i believe this film is borrowing heavily from. I think if most of the in costume stuff can be like him in the car, and they hit the emotional stuff well, it'll make for a nice balance and overall satisfying film.

If they use that in the film, credibility will go STRAIGHT out the window. In the comics, Peter’s parents were agents with the CIA.
