I liked how you could see Otto's arrogance before the accident. He was purposely characterized the way he was in the movie, too show a parallel to Peter. Someone else who has a great gift but has his life together, until the accident, that is. I didn't think SM2 was that great until recently, when I watched it again. Then I started to notice a lot of the elements, people were saying made it great.I wouldn't say it had a great story, but it wasn't horrible either. You're right, Peter didn't start being that goofy until the raindrops sequence, but that part was pretty cheesy.
Dr. Octopus basically was cut and pasted over Connors. Doc Ock never had a loving wife and he wasn't a nice guy that was taken over by his tentacles. Dr. Conners had a loving wife and he was taken over by his lizard side. Doc Ock shouldn't have been the one lecturing Peter about love, that's not who Doc Ock is. Dr. Octopus was always a self-centered jerk, and once he got his tentacles and realized how powerful he was, he only got worse.
I will agree though, that once he got his tentacles he acted very much like comic Ock, I just didn't like how they portrayed him before that, because it was completely out of character.
You're right though, mostly this all comes down to opinion, and I've never been a huge fan of SM2. I rank BB, V for Vendetta, and even X2 above SM2. I've had a problem with Raimi's portrayal of Spider-man for a while, and what it really comes down to is that I don't think he understands the character fully.
Thank you for being so civilized in your rebuttal, because I know there's a lot of other people, on the boards, who would have tried to chew me out.
