It's carrying an 86% on RottenTomatoes right now, so I think there's hope. Of course, the numbers will shift a bit as more reviews come in.
The only thing that bugs me is the way that they stuck Sandman in there. The idea of having him be Uncle Ben's killer opens up the whole theme of revenge which will be interesting to see Parker struggle with, but it seems to negate the whole idea of the killer in the first movie. Peter lets the guy go and thus gets even with the dude at the wrestling ring, but his Uncle gets shot because of Peter's attitude. Well, now it looks like Peter's cleared up there.
Oh well. I'm not a comics purist...heck...the only comics I've read I read after I saw Spider-Man...it just seems a little cheap the way they're shoehorning in Sandman. Don't get me wrong...I want Sandman...but the whole "real killer" seems a bit cheap.
Of course, I can't judge until I see the movie, and I'm sure there's a better reason for it.
Can't wait! I might be going to the IMAX with some friends to see it. 😎
