Spiderhead Jr....I mean Spiderman 2

There you go, Brian. My own special salute to you in this blog title.

Last night. Spiderman 2. Good Sandwich. Excellent movie.

That about sums up my evening. I can't decide whether the highlight was the good sandwich or excellent movie. Probably the movie, but it was close. The only problem I had with the movie was my lack of memory of the first movie. I couldn't remember until Drew filled me in later why the heck Tobey MacGuire became Spiderman. I know it sounds retarded, but since Hollywood has been remaking so many Marvel comic characters into movies, I can't remember the Hulk from Spiderman.

OK, here's the part of the blog where I either praise or bash the movie. Definitely worth seeing in the theatre. I'm not one for action flicks, but the special effects in this were really impressive. Plus, the story was well written. I love Tobey Maguire anyway. I was a bit sceptical about him playing such a mainstream character, but he gives Peter Parker a great innocence, as does Kirsten Dunst (for MJ). The best scene has to be when Spiderman has to take the elevator. It's hilarious.

To sum it up, it's no Spiderhead Jr, but it's worth the $9 (or $5 if you're Aaron..grr).
