I'm glad to hear the positive reviews from those seen the film. I'm jealous of y'all. 
This is really the only movie - I'm looking forward to seeing at the theatres this summer. The rest I can hold out til dvd.

Ebert and Roeper reviewed this on their show tonight. Not only did they both give it Thumbs Up, but they raved about the film.
Ebert (who did not like the first film) said it was possibly the best superhero movie he's ever seen.

I've never read any of the Spiderman comic books and only saw the first movie once, so I'm far from an expert. I got a quick question though...in the comic books did anyone ever find out that Peter Parker was Spiderman, like MJ, Harry, or any of the villians?? I'm wondering if anyone finds out for Spiderman 2 or future sequels.
I think it would be cool if a villian knows who Parker is for longer than the Goblin did in the first movie. Like most of the movie they are plotting, while Peter doesn't know they know.
And wouldnt Peter Parker fighting sans the costume be pretty cool?

Otherwise I can't wait for Spiderman 2. I completely agree with Ebert on the first Spiderman, so his ravings on the sequel have me very excited.

Ebert and Roeper also raved about DAREDEVIL, so their opinions on this genre are a little suspect.
I don't believe Ebert liked any of the BATMAN films, but he did enjoy SWAMP THING. That tells me something.
However, I'm old enough to remember when he and Gene Siskel sung their praises over SUPERMAN II (which went neck and neck against RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK for most popular film that year). Those were the days when Summer blockbusters really meant something.

Just got back from a screening. Since others have posted alot about it, I'll just say... damn what a fine piece of work. I haven't really decided yet, but this could be the best superhero movie I have ever seen. Superman I comes close. Raimi is a god

Or a disaster in the worst way. I wouldn't mind them giving some cameos to certain vllains, but they have to play it safe. Two would be okay and fit logically into the storyline, but...
