Spider Man 2: It's Finally Arrived!!

It's here! "Spider Man 2", one of the most anticipated film sequels in quite a while, finally opens in theaters Wednesday.

And I'm going to see it on opening night tomorrow.

Out of all the comic book characters, Spider Man is the one that I can closely relate. So in 2002, when this character made its big screen debut, I was dying to see what it looked like. I mean, would it suck or not? I had my doubts about it at first, until I saw the trailer. I was blown away. Then I saw the entire film. I was even more impressed. And a lot of people worldwide agreed with that assessment as it took in a lot of money making it a huge blockbuster.

Which brings us to 2004, and the upcoming sequel. Like the original I had the same doubts about whether it will suck or not. Superhero sequels are very hit(see X2: X-Men United) or miss (see Batman & Robin, a film that I don't want to talk about.) So will this be as good as the original or even better?

The buzz going around is that it will be a lot better. We've got a way cooler villian this time in Doctor Octopus (Now come on, who didn't think the Green Goblin's costume in the first one didn't look flat out stupid!) and the scenes they've shown for the trailer look incredibly awesome. So once again, my interest in it has again peaked. Even some of the reviews I've read in the paper have been good.

But all the reviews and trailers don't mean anything until tomorrow night, when I sit down at the theatre and see it for myself.

Is "Spider Man 2" the real deal? I'll let you know on my next entry.
