The trailer attached to the print of SPIDER-MAN 2 is CHRISTMAS WITH THE KRANKS (Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis), which looked about as awful as it sounds.

Interesting. I remember when the first Spider-Man opened it had lame-o trailers like Master of Disguise, Scooby-Doo, and Stuart Little 2 in front of it. I also remember lame a$$ previews in front of LOTR:ROTK as well.
Why do these great movies always get lame-a$$ trailers?

I would love to see that. However, unlike DC, whose entire base of characters are owned by WB and can have them pop up at will in any movie, such is not the case with Marvel. Each of their movie characters is owned by a different company, and studios egos are too big to let another company share the screen with them. The only likely pair-up for us might be X-Men and Daredevil, both of which are owned by Fox.

FWIW, Raimi has said several times that he never understood the appeal of the Venom character and that as long as he is directing the series, neither him nor anything related to him will appear.
That said, I really think Venom was more of a fad character from the 90s more than anything else. I myself had his limited series run, but in retrospect one could argue that he represented all that was wrong with the Marvel industry at the time.

Putting Venom or Carnage in Spider-Man 3 will truly ruin the trilogy. Raimi is smart for not putting those overrated lame ass characters in his films.

I'm glad that they WONT be putting in Venom or Carnage into the third. In the second film there is plenty of set up on who will be going into the third film.
Venom's back story to come anywhere near as impactful as it should be can not be done in the time frame they have without falling back to the first spidermans slower pacing.

The key word is "might." Furthermore, anyone who saw the first and/or follows the comics can see it coming a mile away.

Oh shut up. Just what exactly do you think Harry's last lines at the end of Spider-Man 1 meant? That he'll make Spidey suffer for the death of his father by making him a horrible home-cooked dinner? "HA! Jokes on you, Spider-Man! Oh shit, im eating this too"

Here's our review:
http://www.ugo.com/channels/filmtv/f...an2/review.asp
What my colleague said pretty much mirrors my own thoughts on the film. Very good movie with some excellent traditional Raimi moves (a certain freezeframe is hilarious). Like Return of the King, I thought the ending dragged on a bit too long and there is perhaps too much emphasis on the drama, but these are fairly minor complaints. As a whole: well worth seeing.

While I am glad to see the movie getting good reviews, I really wonder if the focus on drama might turn some people off and result in a lackluster performance. I hope not, but people are weird.

WOW, How can you not like a movie like that? During Bruce's cameo 3 people clapped. Wow, Like others said, it has it all. Any comic book fan who says this movie sucks should be shot.
The inside jokes were great. WOW
