Spider-Man 2 is the biggest blockbuster this summer(that was before I-Robot opened ) i could be wrong on that, but still.

i have a few questions:

Who's fault really is it that Rosie ends up being killed?

Should they have more action than romance and emotional scenes?

Does Doc Ock return for a final showdown with Spider Man ?

"Who's fault really is it that Rosie ends up being killed?"

I would say Octavius'. He underestimated the effects his reaction could have and then refused to stop it with claims that it would stabilize. It's a sad thing, really, but he was blinded by his own dedication to the work.

"Should they have more action than romance and emotional scenes?"

I thought Raimi hit the PERFECT balance between action and drama. Spiderman 2 was, IMO, a perfectly blended movie that way. He managed to make a character drama that also happened to be a superhero action movie.

"Does Doc Ock return for a final showdown with Spider Man?"

Wait...do you mean in another movie? I think Doc Ock's pretty thoroughly dead. And he wasn't even totally evil and obsessed with killing Spiderman. He was being controlled due to recent emotional vulnerability and Spiderman just happened to get in the way.

You know, I don't think the film made it clear enough that Doc Ock is actually like, dead. Drowned himself and his research to put an end to his destruction. I've talked to several people who thought that Spider-Man 3 will feature a combination of Green Goblin/Hobgoblin and Doc Ock.

Or maybe I'm wrong.

i am in the lost with Doc Ock's return also. I mean, he says in the movie "I will not die a monster", but we just see him sinking into the ocean. in the first movie, we actually saw Willem Dafoe/Green Goblin die, so that was the reason for my question.

I agree with who's fault Rosie's death was.

When he says "I will not die a monster," he's saying that he won't die as a villain. He dies saving New York to redeem himself.

And Green Goblin IS dead. He wasn't ACTUALLY there at the end of the movie. After all, why would he be telling Harry to avenge his death if he wasn't dead? I'd say that Harry was imagining that, what with his obsession with the whole thing and his obvious drinking problem because of it.

Avalon, Spider-Man 2 is STILL the biggest blockbuster in the last few summers (just wanted to point that out ) Anywho, to answer your questions (and who better than Spidey himself?)

1.) It is Otto Octavious's fault Rosie died. Spider-Man tried to shut the machine off, but due to his arrogance, Otto wouldn't allow it and it caused Rosie to die.

2.) I wish they would have had one or two more battles, but with the comics (esp. the old ones which this movie is based on), the action is not as important as Peter coming to terms with his powers and everyday life. It is a story of a kid with powers, not a powerful kid (Whoa.....that hurt my brain)

3.) I would love Otto to come back and kick some butt in the next movie. You see, in the comics, Norman (Green Goblin) does die and Harry takes his place. Otto never died, so..........



Also, for your enjoyment.....here is a picture of the comic book cover that Spider-Man 2 is based on. Enjoy!!!!
