Spider-Man 2
Friday afternoon we went to see new Spider-Man movie in the Boston Common Loews theater.
This theater is awesome. I have been there a few times so far and each time I am very pleased with it. Plenty of concession stands, new seats, tons of showtimes and comfortable chairs.
The movie was (as Will states) a "9 out of 10". Lots of great shots, laughs, inside jokes, etc.
A few tidbits that I loved:
Stan Lee's cameo (as in every Marvel movie)
Bruce Campbell's cameo (Raimi directed him in the Evil Dead movies)
Chainsaw in hospital scene (another Evil Dead ref.)
Dr. Connors apprearance in this movie (Spidey fans know why this is great)
The perfect portrayal (acting and visual) of Doc Ock
Harry Osborn's decay into the next Green Goblin
Reference to Tobey McGuire's bad back
All in all a great movie that I will definitely buy when it comes out on DVD.
