I'll try to keep this as spoiler free as possible, hence my thoughts will be rather abridged. The movie was, in a nutshell, completely awesome, and I'm going to go see it again. Doc Ock was absolutely astounding, and although this might be blasphemy, I thought the movie version of him was superior to the comic book version. All the effects looked pretty much spot on, and I didn't see many glaring instances of CG, if any. Any scenes with Ock fighting were absolutely amazing. The acting was great, and I liked the story as well. Thats about all I can say really until the rest of you see the movie, so have at it. Spoiler thought: Personally, if the sole thing keeping the AI of my robotic arms from taking control of my brain is a single chip, I would be inclined to give it more protection than a simple glass bulb. Then again, there are reasons why I'm not a movie villian, I guess.

I agree with everything Oobey said save the glaring instances of CG comment. Then again, I'm particularly anal about that sort of thing.

I thought it was obvious there was CG, but it was far from glaring, like for instance Reloaded's Burly Brawl, or perhaps Jar Jar Binks.

[analog snob]I'm sure that the glass tube gave him a superior AI compared to the sterility of some kind of digital protector.[/analog snob]

Regardless, he could have still shielded it.

Then he wouldn't have been able to see the glow of the tube through the grill and nobody would have known he wasn't solid-state. And if nobody knows, what's the point?

Um, Spiderman himself was glaringly CG. But you guys are probably used to that, I didn't see the first movie and after a while I got used to seeing CG Spiderman swinging around. And even a couple of times it feels like you are there with him. I dunno how to rate the movie, not a huge fan of movies based on comics... but I know it didn't seem like it lasted 2 hours, which is a good thing, so I guess it wasn't boring. There was definitely too much "romance" crap in it tho. And what's her name that plays Mary Jane is a f'ing dog, of course the guy that plays parker/spidey is umm way out of her league, to put it nicely. K, those are my thoughts on Spiderman 2 as of this moment. *
*thoughts subject to change.

You know what? You're all a bunch of spoiled whiners. Really, why does everyone bitch about CG? You want to go back to 1950's era claymation dinosaurs or what? If you can do it better, do so, otherwise STFU and enjoy the damned movie already!

Really, why does everyone bitch about CG? I didn't mean to sound as if I was bitching about it. I do not care how good a movie's special effects are. I wouldn't watch Godzilla or sentai if I did. :p (Although I must admit, if they are horribly done, I can't help but give a chuckle or too.) I'm just highly impressed when all of the work that goes into a movie can actually fool me into thinking it's real, and that's very rare. (I think I've been fooled two or three times so far.)

I havent seen it yet, but I will this summer. I don't care if its CG. I'm looking forward to it. BUT I used to be a big Xmen fan, read right back to issuse 1, but i stopped reading it about the time I saw the films. Don't want this to happen to SM as well.
